[slim] Re: Multiple song entries in SlimServer...
Hi, I have duplicate tracks too. After digging through the forum a few months ago I think it is due to adding songs to playlists. I create the playlists using Winamp not slim server's interface and place them in the Slimserver playlist folder. I seem to get a duplicate track for everytime the track appears in a playlist. I keep updating slimserver to the latest version hoping they will fix this, but sadly it continues. (SlimServer Version: 6.2.1 - 5194 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 ) It is a VERY disappointing problem. With this and the inability of the device to recover after a wireless network disconnect without me doing a device restart, I'm starting to look for another product. Any suggestions?

I was having the same/similar problem in which tracks would appear as a duplicate in the right hand playlist column - almost like a ghost image; although only one track would play (ie it looked wrong on the web interface but played correctly). Is this the same for you? Problem is after several re-scans the behaviour just stopped, I didn't fix it! -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20437 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

James If you're just ripping using Itunes and nothing else - that should be fine. However, if the folder you are pointing Slimserver at the same as your ITunes Music Library, that may be a reason for the duplicate entries, depending on how you are pointing slimserver at it. I don't use Itunes (so someone else who does may be able to confirm better than me) but if you want to use the Itunes Library you should select the Use Itunes option on the web interface (think in 6.2.1 it is on the Server Settings page) and leave the Music Library box (on the same page) empty (fill in the equivilent box on the Itunes section in Server Settings). I'm afraid I can't comment on where the cache is on a RH install. You're looking for a file called slimserversql.db - on my PPC install I keep it in a seperate folder to the main install. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20437 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Stop slimserver. Delete the entire server\Cache directory. Start slimserver. Forces a scan from scratch. Um...stupid question...where is the server/Cache directory? Which leads me to another question, somewhat off topic: I installed SlimServer from an RPM, so things just magically happen when you do the install. Where do all the pieces of SlimServer get installed? I see a conf file in /etc, a /usr/local/slimserver directory is there stuff anywhere else? Case in point: neither of those directories contain the server/Cache directory... Siduhe Wrote: Edited to say - also you're not using the ITunes plugin to import your music library from Itunes are you ? Um, I don't think so. I use iTunes to import my CDs into my library as mp3s.
