Having trouble with Slimserver v 6 missing some of your audio files? I know I am. It seems like all my flac files with diacritic characters in the file names get skipped by Slimserver when it builds itâs db from my library. For instance, the file "Flute Music - AurÃole Ensemble.flac" is ignored.
Iâm sure this problem will get fixed, and soon. But, in the meantime, Iâve written a little Windows console program called fixfilesforslim.exe that will rename any files with diacritic characters to something that Slimserver can find. The utility makes a record of all the files itâs renamed so that it can restore all the filenames in the future. Example: fixfilesforslim D:\Music\*.flac /s This will fix any offending flac filenames in the D:\Music folder and all subfolders. Fixfilesforslim D:\Music\*.flac /s /r This will restore the original filenames that were "fixed" in the previous operation. You can download the utility (windows only, sorry) and the complete source at: http://home.earthlink.net/~gharris999/fixfilesforslim/fixfilesforslim.zip Let me know if you find it helpful. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
