Hi,

seems like I have exactly the same problem as "Builder Brad". I have
installed SlimServer 6.2.1 as of 11-14-2005 on Windows XP SP2.

FLAC cue-sheet index support is only working if the cue points are
added directly into the flac file as meta information, with metaflac,
e.g. Problem here is that no textual meta information is added, but the
flac developer has refused to add this support due to inherent logical
problems.

So, the only way to achieve indexed access to each track's title,
artist, genre etc. of a CD when you have a FLAC image file would be via
the external cue sheet file.

I have tried out all 4 possible combinations with my setup, and only
the described version with flac file with internal cue point
information is working for me, in detail:

1. flac w/ internal cue points  &  no ext. cuesheet

each index (title) is presented to the player but without any textual
information, since it is not present -> thus practically unusable

2. flac w/ internal cue points  &  ext. cuesheet present

no playback possible. error message, cannot find file (given flac
filename in cue sheet file is correct!)

3. flac wo/ internal cue points  &  no ext. cuesheet present

working like expected: the flac file is presented to the player as a
whole

4. flac wo/ internal cue points  &  ext. cuesheet present

indexed access to each file is presented to the player but when trying
to play a title an error message says, cannot find file.


All in all I think there is a bug in the processing of the external cue
sheet mechanism with flac files.
