One other thing my friend ran into is that LMS clears its database when the scanner is running and the wandboard does not have a network connection. I know one would say, why are you running LMS without a network but I also believe that LMS or the scanner should be able to recognize that it has no network and then just exit the scanning process. This would prevent LMS from deleting its database in such cases. A bit of background on how the issue is triggered: All the audio components in the rack are powered by a common switch so that my friend turns off all the equipment when he is not listening to music. I found out that he also powers off a small switch in that same rack. This is a switch where the wandboard is connected to. Since the wandboard still has no power button I told my friend to leave the wandboard running 24/7. I was unaware of the fact that there was a small switch hidden in his audio rack. The scanner is set to scan at 9 am in the morning. Of course, at that time he is not listening to music so the whole audio rack is still powered off, leaving the wandboard without a network. The scanner kicks in, doesn't find the music files and starts to delete them from its database. In the evening, my friend powers up the system and wants to listen to music only to find out that LMS has an empty database. I'm pretty sure this is one of the typical user cases that we are likely to run into when the CS player is available to the masses. It clearly shows that the wandboard needs an easy way to power down (power switch of some kind) and also an attention to LMS's scanner, it should check the status of the network interface while scanning music; exit the scanner when interface is down. 1 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom, 1 x SB Radio and 2 x SB Touch - all wireless 1 x Wandboard Dual behind the bedroom ceiling 1 x Wandboard Dual for 'msqueeze' (http://www.msqueeze.co.nf/index.html) project ReadyNAS NVX running LMS 7.7.3. w iTunes plugin iPeng 7 on iPhone.
