I had another go yesterday with 7.6.1 r33002 and am still struggling to get anywhere.
Before doing that I spent many hours tidying up the artwork. I moved all the album art out of the folder on the internal drive and put it into the album folder on the external drive, renamed to cover.jpg and deleted the old album art folder from the drive and from the server configuration. So the album art is now only cover.jpg files, embedded or (in the case of a few albums) missing. On the positive side, it runs and scans without crashing during the process. On the negative side, nothing else works! After a scan completes, no tracks are shown. Trying to repeat the scan from the preference pane or web UI fails unless it is a total clear and rescan. The log from a 'look for new and changed' shows: [11-08-06 17:51:11.8149] main::init (349) Starting Squeezebox Server (v7.6.1, r33002, Sat Aug 6 02:01:27 PDT 2011) perl 5.008008 [11-08-06 17:51:17.8002] main::init (349) Starting Squeezebox Server (v7.6.1, r33002, Sat Aug 6 02:01:27 PDT 2011) perl 5.008008 [11-08-06 17:51:24.9396] Slim::Utils::SQLiteHelper::postConnect (461) Optimizing DB because of missing or empty sqlite_stat1 table [11-08-06 17:51:39.0062] Slim::Utils::SQLiteHelper::checkDataSource (296) Warning: Scanner database found, checking for a newer scan...

The only way I can get tracks to show in the library is to enter the path to them on the external drive and navigate directly to them. I don't seem to be able to get them - or the iTunes playlists - to show elsewhere in the web UI. As soon as I do anything that would result in the web UI showing album art (whether embedded or cover.jpg) such as playing an album or even navigating to it, the server immediately crashes. And if I restart after trying to play an album it crashes again because opening the web UI tries to display the player.

When run from the command line (as these were) the only difference there is the same: Bogus input colorspace message right at the end of the terminal window. It no longer leaves a Perl process running when the server crashes, but that's the only change I can see from the last time I tried. So after five hours of scanning, clearing, rescanning, crashing, clearing, scanning, etc. I've gone back to 7.5.6 and all is well once more. I probably won't have time to do anymore for a couple of weeks. Has anyone got this to work on a PPC mac with the music on an external drive? -- 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
