Re: [slim] Having a few problems with SC 7.0
Okay i actually removed a couple of other albums SC was choking on and the scan now runs through fine, 2 hours quicker than before! (Although i have no idea what was wrong with the files) It has also removed the itunes videos from the library. However i'm still seeing albums of the same name mixed up. Also another quick question; as i've used itunes all my music has soundcheck values, which doesn't seem to have done its job all that well. If I use foobar to add replaygain tags will SC use RG to adjust the volume over the itunes values? -- Rich85 Rich85's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It still seems to be that if I wait about an hour and a half, it just carries on the scan like nothing happened!? -- Rich85 Rich85's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Having a few problems with SC 7.0
It's saying it gets stuck on an mp3 file 3920 of 28032. I've checked the files integrity in foobar but it doesn't say theres anything wrong with it, and it plays fine. Don't know if there are any more checks I can do? I've had a look at the log file but it means nothing to me, do you want me to post it? -- Rich85 Rich85's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Where does it get stuck? Check the scanning status in server settings - View scan progress. Also check the scan log file for any messages. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Having a few problems with SC 7.0
Slimpy thanks for the replies, The albums that are mixed together are in their own directories (organised by itunes as, itunes music > artist > album), and have no disc# tags. For the other problem I forgot to say that I had done a full clear library and rescan, and the videos still show up. However this option never worked for me in SS 6.5.4 Do you think it's maybe because i'm using itunes that i'm getting these problems? -- Rich85 Rich85's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Make sure the albums are placed in their own directory. Remove any disc # tags (DISC for flac, TPOS for mp3). If the disc # is set SC thinks all the files belong to the same multi-disc album because multi-disc albums allow each disc to be in their own directory.

You need to do a full rescan after changing the disabled file extensions. Rich85;275425 Wrote: > Finally this ones not really a problem but I couldn't figure out what > was going on.
