I have three Raspberry Pi devices running LMS on pCP. After updating to LMS 8.0.0 - 160468 @ Thu Nov 5 I was unable to complete a scan. Checking log files, it seemed to choke on random files, except for a cue file which appeared to be the hitch in several failed scans. I've no idea why I had

It's a bit strange. The 01/01/1970 date is reported in the Material skin, but the real date is reported in the default skin. I have looked at the scanner log, which chimes with the scan choking on finding artwork, and in particular with Spotty artwork. I'll have a little poke around the Spotty

I have found that if the folder and/or filename contains symbols (maybe "&" is one of these) that have meaning for the operating system, they they don't get picked up in the scan. It's OK to have these symbols in the tags. Maybe that's the issue? Robert *Home: *Raspberry Pi
