Interesting - must be some kind of bug. I renamed all my album art files from cover.jpg to album.jpg and have cleared/re-scanned the library.

Problem persists however - very odd I'm not surprised at all, frankly. Changing the filename doesn't really change anything aside from a few characters of text. If an image is of some slightly different type that the server exects, for example, filename won't affect that data. Point to a subdir as your music folder, rescan and try that. Then try another and another. try splitting it in half. my library of 1200 albums is primarily cover.jpg, and as I have said before, no crash on win2k or winxp with the latest 6.5.1 nightly build. But, my data isn't your data. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well I realise it was a long shot - there was a tagging error with the piece of album art in question at the point it starts failing so I have re-tagged this and all the files using the extended tags in mp3tag and done a clear / rescan but the problem persists. Not a word from tech support in the mean time. I can try splitting the library as suggested but not sure where that gets me either if it simply recurs when I re-combine it as SB can only search one music destination and I have my files listed in folders by artist and by album beneath that. Odd that it has suddenly become a problem after previously working perfectly. -- Andyb01 Wired squeezebox, WinXP SP2, SlimServer 6.5 v 2006-11-23, Player Firmware Version: 69 Andyb01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29976 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You'll have to help me out here - no idea what the event viewer is or where to find it. Have just installed latest version and the firmware upgrade but still exactly the same problem.

Ok - I cleared the log and recreated the error to be sure of getting the correct message which is as follows: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Perl interpreter failed. Any wiser?

Any wiser? sadly, that's pretty much a helpless cry of despair from the perl interpreter used to build SlimServer for windows. There is one other report of this being a problem when the album sorting is set to something other than the default album. You might consider trying a smaller test library, adding albums bit by bit to see if it is related to the library contents. So far, it's not something that is easily reproduced or diagnosed...only a source of frustration and fuel for ire for the users who run into it. On my setup, it seem to work fine aside form the known issue of the pages not matching up with the letters indices. I'd suggest contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] so they can collect any details that might help. cheers, kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Album Art Crashes SServer
OK My album art library works by the presence of a 'cover.jpg' file in each folder and that has worked so far. I did have an initial problem with two albums displaying the same art work and was able to correct this by using the extended tags in MP3Tag but the thought of doing it for a couple of thousand files or so doesn't inspire - especially when it may not even solve the problem. Sounds like I'm stuck with it then. Not that it actually matters because I can start slimserver and use the squeezebox I just don't like it when I know that somewhere things are not working as they should. I'll see what tech support turn up. Appreciate you taking the time out to help.
