Re: [slim] Scan does not stop even though all files are found
Well, I've had zero success. As I said, I moved my music files to smaller folders and re-scanned each. All we successful so they are no bad tags or corrupt files. I then moved each batch back into my music folder and did a re-scan each time. All post-merged scans worked well. My final scan failed. Although SCANNER did quit properly it shows 11896 songs when I actually have 12060. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried everything I know or have read in various threads here.

(The issue is sometimes to do with faulty tagging, which the debug tools may not detect.) Odd you should mention that. After I started this thread I decided to create 6 temp folders. I moved ~2000 files to each folder and scanned them. I detected no errors nor did I get the BACKTRACE error that I saw in my above attachment. I'm in the process of moving the files back to my main folder and doing a rescan on that each time I move a batch. Is there a main db that SS creates when it scans? Maybe that became corrupt.

Dave I guess when you say the SS 'never says it has completed' you
mean that the web interface does not update. This issue has been
raised by some folk on the forums (including me!) before.
When using Windows, I used to open Task Manger and watch the activity
of mysql and scanner.exe, and the CPU useage. Scanner stops; then
mysql does some work; and when it stops and CPU usage drops back to
pre-scan values, you know the scan is complete. You can then do
Ctrl+F5 to refresh the web page, and the size of your library will
display properly.
I also found I always had to do 'Clear and Rescan' ('Look for
new/changed music' didn't seem to work well).
This doesn't seem to be a problem with Linux. But I (and some others)
never seemed to get to the bottom of the problem with Windows - which
clearly doesn't affect everyone. A mystery!

Re: [slim] Scan does not stop even though all files are found
Diana, thanks. By SS never stops I mean that SS is still scanning your database continues to appear in the browser even after all songs have been scanned. IE7, btw. I also check task manager. Scanner doesn't stop running. As I said this wasn't an issue until I moved all my files to the new NAS. I'm trying several different things now to achieve a successful scan but they certainly are time-consuming. I'm almost certain I have a corrupt file somewhere.

I'm almost certain I have a corrupt file somewhere. Check your playlists. Some ripping software (annoyingly, IMHO) likes dumping m3u files into each album. And the regular ones may refer to files that no longer exist or otherwise confuse slimserver. Slimserver can get into mindless loops if it gets confused by a playlist. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35003 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Scan does not stop even though all files are found
The new server could be the issue although I see no hardware issues. I'm wondering if a file can/did get corrupted while I was copying 12k FLAC files from one server to another. I've done the best checking I can to see if a filetype is there that doesn't belong and I see none. I only see FLAC files. I have no playlists and when I clear the library and rescan everything I keep the Playlist Folder blank so (even by error) I'm not looking for any. As a test I created a small folder on the NAS, moved a few files there, and it scanned w/o issue. Thanks for the tips.
