Is deleting the SlimServer directory in Program Files all I need to do for a truly clean install of 6.5? Are there registry entries too?
Because I have been trying to get a usable scan of my library for three days now and each rescan results in new oddities. At first there were a lot of weird things in my library and the scans would go for hours ad hour without ever finishing. Yesterday I tried the uninstall through Add/Remove Programs and it got stuck in some kind of loop where an error was popping up in a command line window and then disappearing over and over. I had to go into task manager and kill the process for some temp file to finally get it to stop. Then I deleted the SlimServer directory, waited for the rescan, and my library was all hosed with things like multiple repeats of an Artists name in the Albums list, split Albums, Artists listed as MP3, Albums listed as CD1. So then I removed the music library and playlist paths and rescanned with just MusicMagic enabled. Well, it got better, but I still had duplicate albums. Giving up for the night, I decided to just create a mix in MusicIP and send it to Slimserver from the MIP UI. When I refreshed my playlist in SlimServer, it was listed several wrong songs. But when I played the playlist, the songs were the right ones. In other words, the Web UI and player were showing different information from what was actually playing! Throughout all this, I have not once gotten it to show anything but placeholders in the gallery views, although I have album are in the Web Now playing section and in the song info. At this point I have removed MusicMagic from the picture and I'm rescanning for about the 10th time with only my music path. So far it does not look good, but I will wait to see if things fall into place when it finished. It seems as if SlimServer is just ignoring my real tags (the same tags that were read fine in earlier versions) and using the "Guess tags" info which is not working well at all. Is there some way to disable the guessing of tags entirely? If not I am not sure what else to try unless there is more to clean install besides blowing away the program directory. Can anyone help or should I just go back to 6.3.1? -- MeSue Sue PS: I once wanted a Squeezebox boombox, but I don't anymore. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27875 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
