I've ripped a number of CDs as whole CD images encoded in FLAC format
with both internal and external cue sheets, and for the majority of them
Slim Server seems to be able to recognize the cue sheet file and add the
album to the database properly. For a few, however, the scanner process
doesn't seem to be able to read either the cue sheet or the FLAC file
and ends up inserting the album into the database with the album and the
track titles as simply the name of the file. I turned scanner debugging
on and found a number of errors of the following type:

The full log is on the web at http://misc.lemmingstothesea.com/log.txt.
An example of a cue sheet that could not be parsed is at
http://misc.lemmingstothesea.com/bad.cue.
Clearly, there is something wrong with either the cue sheet of flac file
that is causing the scanner some grief. I am able to play the albums
through the Squeezebox if I select them from the music folder, and
Foobar has no trouble parsing either the external cue sheet or the one
embedded in the flac file.
Does anyone have any thoughts? The server version I'm using is:
SlimServer Version: 6.5b3 - 9697 - Windows 2000 - EN - cp1252
Perl Version: 5.8.7 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt
Thanks,
Ken
