My SlimServer "Music folder" contains only CUE files. Each CUE file references a FLAC image contained in another directory, along with the the track list and other metadata for the album. In the cue sheets, I'm specifying the FILE with a relative path (../albums/artist - album/cdimage.flac).
SlimServer scans these CUE files and adds them correctly to the database. Albums play as expected. Perfect. BUT, it doesn't stop there: it adds a second album entry for the FLAC file itself, without tracks (parsing in-file tags, if present). Why? The FLAC file is neither contained in nor linked to in my SlimServer Music folder. It's like it's mining the CUE sheets for FILE references, and adding those files twice - once with the cue sheet, once without. This is incorrect behavior. I'm running SS 6.3.1 on FreeBSD against MySQL. I don't think the OS or DB have any bearing on the problem however - seems to be a problem with Slimserver's scanning algorithm. This has been brought up in bug reports: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3830 ...but there's no resolution. The workaround proposed here is not reasonable. Any suggestions or consolations?
