Found the server in an odd state today - players couldn't connect and
the UI said it was still scanning after many hours. The server (windows)
had crashed although not at a library rescan time.
The server log has many of these:

Ah OK, I've just realised that I've got a whole bunch of DAOs still
present so it'll take a while to split them out.
I'm still puzzled why it interprets them as playlists though.
Guess I'll just have to go through all occurrences and delete the
superfluous .cue files.
After a bit more digging I found that this line is in the log for every
.cue file!

All scanner logs are set to Error, so given there are *lots* of these
entries, surely this event should only be logged at the

I guess the ideal would be an option for the scanner to ignore missing
errors, but I guess I need to do some housekeeping.

ripped to flac in the first place ...
I've not used this method for ages but wanted a quick method of using my
android phone as a player.
In a browser or Foobar it connects and I can select it as a player in
LMS (Mozilla from [ip address]) but it only plays for a few seconds,
then stops.
If I try from a PC it says connection reset.
Tx - guess that explains why it seemed very laggy!
I'd not bought the native SB player since it would be streaming from my
FLAC library and my requirements are for something more lightweight.
For the background, see my other post
Yes of course I don't want dups, but that's rather a side issue. I'm
very gradually working my way through the DAO rips to convert them to
track rips. But I still want them in the library meanwhile, hence I
don't wish to exclude .cue files!
The issue is the log filling up with superfluous info
Sorry I wasn't clear - "(891) Handling new playlist" seems to be logged
for *every* .cue file i.e. even if there are no referenced files
missing.
If there are, then the other log line "Parse (473) Error" is present,
which is fine.
Sure but as noted earlier that disables all .cue processing.
I'd still like to know if it's possible to suppress the "Handling new
playlist file" event in the error log file as it fills the log file up
rather, and makes it much harder to find the real scanning errors!
Sorry I've no idea on the LMS error but have you checked if the network

Hi
I was experimenting with the Material skin for server settings and it
seems that the URLs vary by interface.
So http://lms:9000/settings/index.html works with Default but not
Classic or Material (blank page). With Classic the link is tied to a
player for some reason
Tx, but the issue is the other way round i.e. I don't want a
skin-specific link, but a *universal* link to Server Settings
*irrespective* of which skin is used.
And Material is apparently based on Classic.
