having an issue with duplicate entries in my library. setup is this:
server running Ubuntu 7.10, SqueezeCenter 7 (recent build 16819) w/ Netatalk and Samba for filesharing. the relevant HDD is formatted w/ XFS (significant, I think). I'm using iTunes as my media manager from a Mac. I moved my library from the Mac to this psuedo-NAS/SqueezeCenter server yesterday using the library consolidation function in iTunes. the issue is that as the library was moved, every directory that was created on the NAS contains a .AppleDouble subdirectory. the .AppleDouble directories contain 1KB files that mirror the files (same filenames/extentions) in the directory itself, i.e. each album dir contains a subdirectory with *.m4a files exactly the same as the album directory. when I scan the library, 2 entries are added for each file (interestingly, both entries seem to play correctly). the only relevant thread I could find is: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27174&highlight=.AppleDouble it's somewhat dated, but seems to indicate the directories can be ignored. I believe this is the cleanest solution, because near as I can tell, the .AppleDouble dirs are a meta-data artifact of OSX using unix filesystems (including XFS), and are not going away in my setup. I can delete the dirs, but the are still created when adding files/dirs from the Mac, i.e. each time I do a new import, the subdirectory is created along with the import files. any ideas on how I can ignore these dirs/files? -- IceFusion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IceFusion's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15255 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42851 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
