If MusicIP generates a playlist containing an Artist with an Umlaut (e.g. Björk or Hüsker Dü ). Then the file is not recognised by SBS as per the following lines from the log:
[09-10-29 12:20:37.5893] Slim::Formats::readTags (159) File missing: \\musicwhs\Music\FLAC\Artists B\Björk\Debut\03. Venus As A Boy.flac [09-10-29 11:41:25.2676] Slim::Formats::readTags (159) File missing: \\musicwhs\Music\FLAC\Artists H\Hüsker Dü\Candy Apple Grey\08. Eiffel Tower High.flac I think the issue has been around sometime and probably affects track names as well and possibly other characters (but I haven't tested that and can't read German well enough to understand the following thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40507&highlight=umlaut+musicIP) I guess that this is a MusicIP error and that is not much hope of that being fixed (see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=479099#post479099). However the error handling in SBS appears to be lacking:- SB3: shows blank in the playlist and "Problem. Can't open file for: " before moving on to next track SBS Gui: ignores in playlist SBController: playlist becomes corrupted and ultimately blank. SBRadio: playlits becomes corrupted and ultimately blank SBRadio, possibly causes a persistent out of sync issue. [This has happened whilst recreating this but I haven't isolated or got the impact repeatable] The controller and radio initally display the playlist (missing the offending track), but when you scroll up and down then the album covers get out of step with the text and scrolling becomes difficult (won't respond, jumps around) before ultimately the current playlist is blank (sometimes with less than half of each album cover showing on RHS of screen). Since it is not possible to see the offending track, anyone experiencing this may be confused and os the SBS handling (Squeezeplay ?) should be improved. Any thoughts before I raise as a bug. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70582
