We're now out of the area where I have any quick answer for you, since you're doing stuff I don't have any experience with (flac for a start). Here's what I would do. It'll take about half an hour. Make a new directory, preferably close to the root, like c:\testmusic Copy into that directory the Chopin album that fails. Start up Slimserver, telling it that the new directory you just created is your entire music directory. Ask it to scan it. Should take less than a minute to scan a single album. If it succeeds, it's a naming/tree depth kind of thing. If it fails, remove files one by one and repeat until it doesn't fail. Now you've identified a specific file that fails. Or do it the other way around. Put the first track into the directory, see if it succeeds. Then put the next track in. Keep going until it fails. Then send the failing track off to Slim in a bug report saying Slimserver fails when scanning that track. And attach the track. Once they can reproduce the problem, they have a chance to fix it. > Is there any way to get better debugging info out of the server? Yes, but with Windows it's a bit counter-intuitive. If you got the windows package, out of the box you can't enable debugging. What you have to do is get a copy of active state perl (but I think you said you had it already) and run slimserver from the command line as perl slimserver.pl --logfile log.txt --s_scan (if scan is what you want to enable) You might want to put it in a bat file. Hope this helps.
