Did you try using the Browse Music Folders option in slimserver?
Using this interface to navigate to the tracks in question causes the
database to update the information for those tracks.
It's a good way to add a few new albums to the library without having
to do a rescan.

At least in the old 6.3.1, Browse Music Folder doesn't add album art.
I added that manually, but that of course requires SQL knowledge. It
can't be that difficult to create a routine that just checks/fixes
album art, and I don't understand why SlimServer works this way and
only updates album art
Thanks for your suggestion - unfortunately it didnt help.
Any other ideas? This is a quite critical issue since there is a risk
of destroying expensive equipment. Could it be done in a FW upgrade?
Best regards

I second the idea.
It is definitely less hassle to plug the SB into a switch using a patch

Since we're throwing ideas around, you might want to try this:
At the EXACT physical location of your SB3, disconnect the SB3 and try
connecting a laptop in the _same_ power outlet and connect it to your

You could even use softsqueeze to emulate the SB3

Last I heard Seagate has 750 GB drives, but no 1 TB drives, and they're
