Yup, I noticed that one, too, but with Linux. There is a problem with 6.3.0 IMHO.
If you specify a path for the 'audiodir' setting in the server settings, it is being replaced by the real pathname. In my setup, I have a symlink from '//music/m' to the real path, say '/bigdisk/m'. Since '/bigdisk/m' is exported as a Samba share '\\music\m', I can switch back and forth with my playlists under iTunes for Windows. The pathnames in my playlist could be '\\music\m\Abba\Gimme.mp3' and since Slimserver changes every '\' to '/', it comes out as '//music/m/Abba/Gimme.mp3' under my Linux Slimserver. This works out just fine. That is BEFORE 6.3.0. Now, '//music/m' is silently replaced by '/bigdisk/m' and thus, the first observation was that every title is doubled in my library (since the old pathnames are still there). You can see this if you enter the path into the settings and restart Slimserver afterwards. When you enter the settings page again, the pathname has been changed. This is a really BAD THING(tm). Slimserver should not try to be so smart. However, I have not yet found the place where this symlink chasing was introduced, else I would have corrected that myself. -- meyergru ------------------------------------------------------------------------ meyergru's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25506 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
