The scanner should fail gracefully rather than lock up on encountering a corrupted file, but that's easier said than done with the myriad of container formats and tag formats that we try to support, and all the possible ways that a file could be corrupted. Ideally the way this should have gone is that support would have realized this as a probable cause for the scanner not completing, and been able to help the user find the bad file. Then escalate to engineering to have the code improved so that it doesn't crash on such a file in the future... has this been done? we'd sure appreciate if you'd file a bug, attaching a sample file and your fix. This is one of the more challenging kind of problems we could encounter. I think we're OK at handling the vast majority of support calls about things like firewall settings and misbehaving plugins, but clearly we need to get better at identifying the corner cases when they come up. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45372 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
