That one doesnt point to tagging: Browse Music Folder ignores tags (which is why you can navigate there when the tags don't get parsed). For some reason Slimserver can't play them... how are these files stored? Is there a permissions issue? (I make no pretense of understanding how Windows does permissions, it always seems they superglued a multiuser permission system with access rights over a single user OS that lets you do whatever you want... but sometims things like "services" can't read regular files if they get ownership changed...) A permissions issue on Windows would lead to a situation where you could see the filenames, but not actually open the files. (And, again, remember that on most Windows installs Slimserver runs as a service, not as a regular user, so being able to play them with WMP will tell you whether the file is corrupt or not, but not the permissions.) I'll leave the "how to tell if Windows thinks you don't have permissions to a file" to someone who understands Windows, or maybe you get it and this note will let you check. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31126 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
