Right - I'm convinced my problems are related to artwork. After spending most of yesterday scanning, reinstalling, configuring, rescanning checking log files and so on, I have finally managed to get the scan to complete normally and to show my music library.
I've done that by removing the path to the old (and gradually being replaced) album art folder on the internal drive and by telling 7.6.1 not to pre-cache the remaining artwork (a mix of cover.jpg files in the album folders and embedded artwork). Unfortunately that hasn't solved my problems as the server crashes as soon as I do anything that would make it display the artwork - like playing music! Annoyingly, the crash is so sudden that the log is truncated so I can't offer anything more helpful than my previous snippets. I can't even say if it's the embedded artwork causing the problem, the cover.jpg artwork, or both. The next logical step would seem to be to set up a smaller library and experiment with album art, but that will have to wait for a few weeks as the pressure of the day job means I haven't got the time to investigate further at the moment. So I've gone back to 7.5.6 once more as I've had enough of not being able to play music - and to give my poor little server a chance to rest after spending around 36 hours running at full pelt to keep rescanning. -- testmatch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ testmatch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89196 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
