In terms of running this branch as a PC Server (will run TinySC next)... Getting this thing to run with automatic rescan enabled by default is a right pain. I think it really should not scan until the user has gone into My Music settings and confirmed the music path, changed music library settings, etc. Many people have commented on this in the past - it's really annoying. It would be much clearer to automatically display the My Music settings page with a "Scan" button instead of an empty music library page with a hidden scan in the background.
It spawned a perl.exe to do the scan, which didn't stop when I stopped the server. If I attempt to run the server again, I bet it would spawn another perl.exe scanner. That could do with improving. I think that if the server is stopped, the scanner should stop too. I killed the scanner process and restarted the server. Upon restart, the WebUI window showed 0 albums with 0 songs by 0 artists. There was no indication that a scan was running. I knew the server had spawned a new scanner process again though as I could hear the HD chattering away. There's no way to stop the scan. I want to tweak the default settings before I run a full scan. I don't store any music in the default windows My Music folder, which I guess a fresh installed version of SbS would look for. So, I guess it would automatically try to rescan all the time as the library would be empty. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
