I have had slimserver running successfully on a 2003 server for some time but recently things seem to be playing up.
Normally I scan the directory for music and this works fine. I noticed in the last week or two though that a significant number of albums are not listed under the artist. For example I have around 10 albums either of, or with a track from "Air" on them. Only half of these are listed. I have in the region of 20 "Depeche Mode" albums that have gone AWOL. The strange thing is that there are approximately the right number of tracks in Slimserver so I wonder if they are hiding elsewhere. Also when I go into "Depeche Mode" under artist then the number of track drops by about 50% to 21,000 in the listing at the top. Finally I thought that maybe it would work if I linked to the .xml file in iTunes. Despite all the albums being listed in the file I still have exactly the same problem. The tracks are ripped at different times but all in unprotected MP3 format. All tracks appear and can be played fine in iTunes and iTunes and Slimserver both run on the same machine. My thoughts are: Is there a problem with Slimserver? - as neither is working I thought that may be the issue. Is there a problem with file protection? - would not have thought so otherwise the tracks would not play in iTunes. Have I got too much on here? Should I revert to an early copy of Slimserver/iTunes (personally I do not think the iTunes part will be a problem as an xml file is an xml file and you cannot do much to stuff that up. Also a straight scan of the folder causes the same issue. If so can anyone direct me to a place where I can download say version 6 which I don't think caused me a problem. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. -- cmaskelyne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cmaskelyne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=775 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28718 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
