Blarg, the system just ate my earlier post. Short and sweet version: I had this problem and fixed it. Problem was exactly as described, single quotes in song titles or in album names caused duplicate display in, e.g., album song lists. Super annoying. Always two appearances of the culprit - never 3. Examining the URL of the "twins" showed the filenames were identical.
I have tried to attach a jpg showing the problem. My setup: server 6.3, SB 2, 2 slimp3's, macos 10.4. Simple rebuilds of the sqlite db (or manual deletion followed by rebuild) did not solve. My music files are in /Users/Shared/Music. My home dir, /Users/my-login/Music/iTunes, is symlinked into /Users/Shared/Music. On closer inspection of my settings, I found the problem was, I gave the slimserver two ways to find my music files. I told it to "use iTunes" to find my music library (hence telling it to follow the second path named above) as well as manually specifying the path to my music via the "Music Folder" option (and I gave it the first path named above). I think the server might have gone down both paths to add files in. And furthermore, I think there is some code in there that is normalizing the file names to avoid dupes due to symlinks, and that that code is failing for pathnames containing single quotes. The code bit is clever, but IMHO this is a bug -- if the code bit had not been there, the problem would have been a lot easier to diagnose. I'm not saying remove the code bit, just make it work properly. Incidentally, I seem to remember earlier versions of slimserver did not follow symlinks properly so you had to specify the root music folder manually. Hope this helps. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: dupe-quote.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1581| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- turmon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ turmon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25388 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
