Sorry about that. The firmware update notices for the device I was
referring to are for 7.8.0, not 7.9.0.
Anyway, so far, so good with 7.9.0 LMS on the computer. I really like
the latest version, so it is highly unlikely I would WANT to go back to
7.5.5. And at this point it is probably pretty
Hey, don't get me wrong Michael. I am super-psyched that this is working
right now. I think I'll still be up playing around with it tonight in
the wee hours. I see already it has some cool new smart search functions
where it guesses what artist or album you are typing into the search
window. Like
may just be the setting for how multidiscs album are treated as one or
as separate discs .
Excellent congrats to be able to use a modern version of LMS :) good for
us all that someone new reports a scanner crash .
We that been here a while and regularly report stuff had output
collections
Dont want to get my hopes up, but it may have worked this time!
I removed the suspect image file from the folder. I'm sending that image
file to you in your dropbox Michael.
Next I just started up another scan using 7.9.0 with all the debugging
on, etc. I had to leave for about an hour or so,
Hi Michael. When I have some time next, I will remove that image file
(if I can find it) and rescan. I will send you the image file if you
like (again, as long as I can find it).
A couple of posts back someone else was also asking me "We didnt know
how many files, -where the artwork is stored

Over the night.
We didnt know how many files, where the artwork is stored and the
filesize and some other useful info about your setup to answer the right
amount of time.

Are you sure it's actually stopping there , if you haven't used the full
text search plugin before it migth take time to complete ? 20 minutes is
not that much ? Are you scanning over a network or do you have the music
files locally on the computer ? full etc search plugin can be disabled .
Seems strange, Michael, as I'm sure I had set the 'scan' options to
debug and hit apply before i did the scan on 7.9.0. And afterwards, I
did a clean install of 7.5.5. So unless the default is for 'debug' on
these options in 7.5.5, why would it do that?
I'll try again when I have some time.
I installed 7.9.0 for this instance since I read that the scanning is
faster.
Make sure you go to Settings/Advanced/Performance and set the Database
Memory Config value to "Maximum". In particular when you're running a
disk based system.

My music library is relatively large, although I am sure there must be
others like me that have large collections. Right now, I have about
370-380GB stored in a music folder on the iMAC that gets scanned by LMS.
There are almost 4000 albums and around 35-40K tracks in the folder. I
generally add
Thanks for the suggestions and I tried a few things. but in the end I'm
not sure what I accomplished.
I installed 7.9.0 for this instance since I read that the scanning is
faster. I went into the Advanced tab and set all of the 'scan' entries
to Debug as described. And then I went ahead and let

Not sure about 7.5.5, but it should be in web UI->Settings->Advanced,
select 'Logging' from the drop-down box and scroll to see the
Since I successfully installed LMS 7.8.1 on the MacBook Air, I tried to
take Michael's advice and install the same LMS software on both
machines. So I installed 7.8.1 on the iMAC (OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard).
Why do you want to run two copies of LMS at all?
through the music library, it got hung
Well I gave this a try but it didn't work out so well.

I have one follow-up question:
Since I updated LMS on the laptop to 7.8.1, the Squeezebox device screen
regularly pops up saying an update to the firmware is now available.
Should I go ahead and update the firmware? Although LMS software on the
laptop is now at 7.8.1, the LMS software on the
I browsed to that folder, went to Get info, and in 'Sharing &
Permissions' added my user name with Read & Write access. This seems to
have fixed the problem! I was a bit surprised.
The problem is that LMS crashes trying to write to its log file. I
thought I had a fix in place for more recent
Thanks so much for the suggestions. I just did some simple google
searches and came across a page explaining that there is sometimes a
problem with the folder: /Users//Library/Logs/Squeezebox.
This link in particular helped me a bit:
