Wow - finally got to the bottom of the problem. Having spent most of the weekend and yesterday evening tinkering. It turns out it was nothing to do with the 6.2 update! Apologies for leaping to conclusions and blaming the new release.
First thing I did was to back-rev to 6.1.1, delete the database and rebuild from scratch. After nearly 2 hours the database had stopped growing but the scan had not finished. Then spent a few hours scanning the directories for bad rips/damaged mp3s etc. Moved out over 40 of these and did another scan - no change. I then decided to download a copy of sqlite and have a look inside the database. Being a complete amateur with sql it took a while to grasp what was going on. Then the lightbulb suddenly came on and I realised that the last entry in the database could be identified and probably pointed to the directory with the problem (or the one before the problem). The last entry was id 2207 pointing to a UB40 album. I checked the directory and there it was! - a link/shortcut to the top level directory! Poor old slimserver had been getting this far and then starting again, over and over! So, there we are. A simple mistake caused hours of fun. My neighbour is pleased he has access to his full music collection and I can finally get back to listening to my Squeezebox. Sorry once again for blaming the 6.2 release. -- blueranger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blueranger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=703 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17791 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
