yeah, i realize that. but i am parsing the artwork explanation here, trying to make sense of it specifically, not the thumbnail one. you're quoting me out of context. there is an explantion under "Artwork" in SS i am parsing and it lists what it looks for, for that option, but it does so out of the proper order according to wiki; so i was just clarifying the right order, and saying i should be ok given that. kdf Wrote: > > it seems to me at this point that this option shouldn't have anything > to do with browsing artwork. > Artwork setting doesn't. Artwork thumbnail does.

So you > can name your images Green Day - American Idiot.jpg if you want. i still don't understand this at all, i think i'm so far behind understanding this option that its probably too frustrating for someone to try to explain it to me. (not all users can be bright i guess ; -) kdf Wrote: > As a side note, A SIDE NOTE??? i'd say this is perhaps the QUINTESSENTIAL piece of missing information that is NO WHERE mentioned by either the options OR in the wiki, unless i somehow stupidly missed it. i mean come on, that should ABSOLUTELY be clearly stated as a necessary step as part of the explanation for those options on the interface page. how else is someone supposed to know? again, i'm dumb as rocks, but i don't think thats obvious at all. kdf Wrote: > any changes to the artwork settings require a wipe and rescan.

Set the time, and set the Rescan Timer to ON to use this > feature. all i can say to this is "off" or "on" and when [time]. it apparently doesn't give me the option to say what kind of scan... manual scans are located on the inital server settings page. > Rescan Music Library > Click Rescan to have SlimServer scan through your music library and add > new music or update songs that have changed. there are 3 choices here: 1. look for new and changed music 2. clear library and rescan everything 3. only rescan playlists regardless of whicher one you do last, when you leave the page and come back, it defaults to #1, the first choice. so, my guess is that the automatic nightly rescan does whatever it does with no regard to this option, OR it simply refers to the #1 option, and i can't have it do anything else. this means i would very much like to have the ability to set what exactly what kind of scan i would like the automatic one to do. (also, i'm assuming when you said "wipe" thats = to "clear") thx again for your help. -mdw -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.3 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25387 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
