I have been reading several of these threads recently in the hope of finding a solution ...
Set-up: SB Touch + Duet, running SB server on Windows 7 (64-bit). I upgraded to 7.6 last week and within 24/48 hrs both the Controller and Touch required upgrades. In both cases the Downloads failed to work until I had switched the devices off and then restarted them (Controller: hold down on button for 8 seconds; Touch: unplug power lead). I forget exactly when but at some stage in the upgrade process I lost - say - 80-90% of the artwork. All music files are WMA rips held on an external HDD (USB connection) within 9 genre directories; artwork is from a range of sources, the majority being "found" when the album is ripped. I often divide and amalgamate albums and then will find artwork ffrom various web-sites (e.g. Amazon). Everything is organised in Microsoft Windows Media Player 12 / Windows Explorer. I have cleared the cache (SB Server Control Panel / Advanced-Cleanup) >From SB Server / Information tab: Version: 7.6.1 - r32935 @ Fri Jul 29 07:46:37 PDT2011 Library Statistics Total Tracks: 31,056 Total Albums: 2,479 Total Artists: 408 Total Genres: 12 Total Playing Time: 1573:28:05 Music Scan Details Discovering files (33929 of 33929) Complete 00:00:25 Scanning new files (31056 of 31056) Complete 01:22:37 Discovering Playlists (1 of 1) Complete 00:00:00 Pre-caching Artwork (2231 of 2231) Complete 00:04:13 The server has finished scanning your music collection. Total time: 01:27:15 (Monday, August 1, 2011/9:03am) This morning I unistanlled SB server and downloaded (again) v. 7.6.1-r32935. the scan took nearly 1.5hrs (as above) and I now have - say - 70-80% (guess) of the artwork though the statistics appear to say I should have 90% (= 2231 / 2,479). Also, whislt I have corrected the genre name via WMA for some rips, one of the Genres (DVD Rip) appears three times (DVD Rip, DVD rip and Dvd Rip) and another Genre (Easy Listening) appears twice (Easy Listening and Easy listening). I have indentified the incorrect names and corrected them (last week) but despite re-scans, etc. these incorrect Genre names won't go away! Two issues (maybe this second issue is not related to v.7.6) - help? -- MusicMad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MusicMad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89144 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
