Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner can't see symbols?
The characters STS and CCH are the Unicode C293 (U+0093) and C294 (U+0094), which look similar to the regular double quotes character and the peace character in between seems not to be read properly. The regular double quotes character is not allowed as part of directory or file names in Windows, but using similar ones is ok. The Unicode peace character is U+262E, which is also allowed in file or folder names. BTW, what does LMS say about the language and code page?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner can't see symbols?
If your library is not too big I'd set the log settings for the scanner to Debug and run a full scan again to have all the details in the scanner.log. Otherwise, I'd try with just the missing folder as the only part of your library. Guess the following should allow you to revert things easily: stop LMS to rename the cache folder and your library root folder, copy the concerned folder to a new directory named like your old library root folder, and restart LMS which causes a new full scan. reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105502 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

mherger wrote:
As you can see, in the query grouped by namesort \xC3\x85 would be its
own item, thus creating its own letter in the index bar. Whereas the
real query would put it with all the As in the list. I'm no SQLite
expert, thus might be missing the obvious. But I'd say we're applying
the same collation there.
Being no SQLite expert, too, I tried several different statements and
found that GROUP BY actually uses a COLLATE sequence.
I downloaded SQLite Expert Pro that provides built-in ICU support
(switched on in the options).
And I used this data in the contributors table:
Code:
id namesort
20ADELE
21ALANIS MORISSETTE
22Å NIKKI YANOFSKY
23A FINE FRENZY
24XYZ
First, I loaded the collation like this: SELECT
icu_load_collation('de_DE', 'de_DE')
Then I executed this:
Code:
SELECT SUBSTR(contributors.namesort,1,1), count(distinct contributors.id)
FROM contributors
GROUP BY SUBSTR(contributors.namesort,1,1) COLLATE de_DE
which returned this:
Code:
A 3
Å 1
X 1
When I use GROUP BY without COLLATE I get this:
Code:
A 3
X 1
Å 1
So the collation sequence is in fact used by the GROUP BY. The ICU
ordering for a given locale can be checked here:
http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp.
Things change when the ORDER BY comes into play:
Code:
SELECT SUBSTR(contributors.namesort,1,1), count(distinct contributors.id)
FROM contributors
GROUP BY SUBSTR(contributors.namesort,1,1) COLLATE de_DE
ORDER BY contributors.namesort COLLATE de_DE
delivers this:
Code:
Å 1
A 3
X 1
Now the characters are in the wrong order: A should be before Å, I'd say
(the ORDER BY without COLLATE results in the Å after the X). Specifying
COLLATE in the GROUP BY clause seems to have no effect when the ORDER BY
is following.
I don't have enough SQL knowledge to find an explanation or solution...

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SQLite WAL in 7.6.1 - please test
Trying to help with testing, I just installed r33068 on a virtual machine that had no SBS before (running Win7 Enterprise as the guest os). The initial scan succeeded and reports the same number of tracks as my SBS 7.5.4 on the host PC. (The music folder on the host was mounted to a drive in the guest.) The number of albums are different, though. Don't know whether this is expected due to the modified scanner process. 7.6.1 - r33068: Total Tracks: 9,483 Total Albums: 929 Total Artists: 422 Total Genres: 55 Total Playing Time: 805:45:50 7.5.4 - r32171: Anzahl Titel: 9.483 Anzahl Alben: 988 Anzahl Interpreten: 422 Anzahl Stilrichtungen: 54 Gesamte Spieldauer: 805:45:50 The tracks are 90% flac and 10% mp3, I guess. No playlists, no iTunes, no MusicIP. While the scanner was running, I tried to stress the system a bit by browsing artists in the library via the web UI. This was a bit strange: sometimes album pages showed that there's no content yet (via the general disc symbol), which is perfectly fine. But sometimes the artist links opened pages of totally different artists than selected. Finally, after the scanner has finished, everything seems to work properly. The scanner log has two entries like this among the few lines: Audio::Scan::scan (64) Warning: Error: Unable to read at least 16 bytes from file (only read 13). The server log starts with an exception. Don't know whether this is expected since there was no database before.
