Sounds to me, the LMS need some urgent adjustments. The art problems that were introduced with the new version, almost made me want to dump the Squeezebox totally before. And things like a perfect working iPad with LMS is totally essential imo. But on topic again :) I don't use CustomBrowse anymore, since it is paid only, but I use Trackstat and noticed several times the server crashes when you try to open big lists. I will try to make some time to focus on the art probably. What can i do? If i rescan the LMS, it doesn't hang anymore as it did so many times before. But probably there are some "bad" images somewhere. Shall i put on the log function on and try to see if there is some kind of clue of the particular art it crashes on? Checking manually is not possible due to the large number of songs and albums. -- March ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31275 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
