That would seem a bit strange though. I would rather expect "the > opposite" as it were, i.e. Samba only supporting 8.3...

You can check your shortnames in a commandbox with dir /x. It will show the mangled short names. A local NTFS analyze is fast and indeed you can copy it back an rebuild your cache file, but: FWIW: I have recently analyzed my music library on windows (10) using samba shares. (I started with a webdav, but strange enough that gave me lots more unanalyzable files.) I think to notice that analyzing with windows version 1.9 is quicker than 1.8. Also I think that 1.8 refuses to analyze 24bit files. (The linux docker headless server analyze is way too slow to be usable and only stores in the cache file (as does the windows headless I think), so when that goes lost, you will have to start over. NB you can NOT use the library cache file from a windows analyze) I write the fingerprints in the music files, so that my headless musicip server in a linux docker is able to rebuild a library (okay fast). My linux docker runs a 1.8 version headless and seems to pick up all fingerprints: the ones I previously did with windows 1.8 ánd the windows 1.9. There were still music files that refused to analyse though. So I looked again with dir /x to look at the 8.3 names which seemed okay enough. BUT now I have added to the smb.conf section of my music share "mangled names = no" and "mangled map = (*.flac *.FLA)". I think the last entry is not necessary. The dir /x shows now only long names, but my windows 1.9 DOES now analyze all the files it previously gave fingerprint errors on... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Huey11's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67632 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96392
