I have searched the forums and not found answers to my two biggest questions (although I have seen one of the questions with no good answers):
1. I have a ton of FLAC stuff, a ton of MP3 stuff, and a fair amount of Ogg. All of these files are under a common root in a Linux ext3 file system (about 100G worth). I am running Slimserver 6.5 and serving the files to Squeezebox 3 and to a copy of Softsqueeze running on another Linux box. No iTunes, just a bunch of locally ripped music. Slimserver has been given ONE directory to look under, which is the parent of all of my music. It found ONLY the MP3 stuff. (A good bit of the FLAC and MP3 are dups with the same tags, because I keep 160k or 192k MP3 transcoded from the FLAC for my flash-based MP3 players. In these cases, I would of course prefer the Slimserver to serve up the FLAC to the Squeezebox). Slimserver found ONLY the MP3 stuff. None of the FLAC or Ogg is in the database. Nothing in the documentation or online seems to indicate why this would be the case. As mentioned above, in cases where there are lossy and lossless versions of the same track, I want Slimserver to stream the lossless file. 2. Second Question may be related to the first, and may also be a misunderstanding of the operation of the scanning process: When I use the web interface to rescan my music files, I don't see any indication of either progress or completion. The next day there are no new music files. Nothing in the /tmp/slimserver.log file seems to indicate that scanning is occuring. Any thoughts on either of these would be appreciated. I am only able to serve up about 100 of my 600 or so CD's at this point, and am really missing the others...
