Total Time: 02:38:09 On the SC main page I get : 7579 albums with 85482 songs by 0 artists. I can't search by artists or genre, but I can see songs, if I look via albums or music folder. Which is obviously wrong. I have been using the 7.3 nightly build, the scan function works a lot better, but I found that it didn't want to play AAC or WMA files, it appears to play, but nothing comes out, so I went back to 7.2. My music is a mix of 65% FLAC, 20% WMA, 10% AAC, the rest MP3. I've done a search, but haven't found anything relevant. Something else I've noticed is that if I stop the scan process before it optimises, I get to sell all my artists. Can anyone help ?

[slim] Re: Displaying Chinese on SB2
Hello Dan, I haven't used the search function yet - I have however tried browse music -> music folders -> and playlists that point to songs with unicode titles. I have rescanned the library many times. I have also noticed this problem with real streaming stations, like http://www.rthk.org.hk/live1.asx The station name is displayed incorrectly. I'll see if I can search the songs.

[slim] Re: Displaying Chinese on SB2
guys, did you manage to solve the problem with slimserver not being able to detect directory names in Chinese which shows up ok under Win XP ? I have Win XP SP2 English version. SlimServer Version: 6.2.2 - 5295 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 (27 Nov 2005 build) SB3 and softsqueeze I have put CODE2000.TTF and Cybercjk.ttf in Slimserver\server\Graphics directory Nearly all mp3/flac that have Chinese in the directory or filename are not recognised at all by slimserver. The ones that are recognised comes out as non-sensical. e.g. ÈáÇéÀá. I'm interested to see if any one that can read Chinese can get the following artists and title to show up on their SB ?? 许冠杰.财神到.1978 and 十萬個為什麼 by 王菲 Thanks btw WMP v9 displays the titles ok and I can see them ok in windows explorer -- firestorm firestorm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16236 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: music held on multiple HD
did a bit of digging and found this : ln A feature of linking files is available in Linux. It works by "redirecting" a file to the actual file. It's referred to as a symbolic link. Don't confuse this term with the linking of programs, which is when binary programs are connected with libraries that they need to load in order to run. The most simple way that I've ever used ln to create symbolic links is ln -s existing_file link. Evidently there's a hard link and a symbolic link; I've been using a symbolic link all along. You can also use the -f flag to force the command line to overwrite anything that might have the symbolic link's file name already. To remove a symbolic link, simply type rm symbolic_link. It won't remove the file that it's linked to. Patrick, symlinks are for linking libraries in make files for compiling apparently. Neil, I read LN as IN at first, but found it eventually.

[slim] music held on multiple HD
Hi, I have the following setup : slimcd running in a virtual pc mounts a 80Gb FAT32 virtual drive I ftp the flac/mp3 files across to it when adding incrementally and mount it directly when dumping large amounts of files on to it. Now the above works ok, but I'm wondering what happens when I run out of space and mount another virtual or real HD to it. I'm sure I can have an alias pointing to the next drive if it was a linux type partition or shortcuts if it was a MS Windows pc. I'm not a linux expert, so how would I go about creating the link between the first and next partitions (FAT32)?

hmm, thought as much, I'm running slimcd at the mo, so theoretically if I chance one of the nightly builds, the message should change if I reboot the SB3 ? -- firestorm firestorm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18437 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] my SB3 has turned into SB2 ...
Got my SB3 last week, very smart looking and sounds great. The first time I hooked it up with Slimserver, I was asked to press the brightness button to upgrade the firmware. After this it restarted and told me my SB3 is a SB2.
