Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
I have had the same problem with my SB touch with an SD card. It was all down to having the write enable slider on the side of the SD card set to 'read only' ie SB touch could not write to the SD card, which stuffed everything up.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
Recently I also had this problem with my Squeezebox Touch (SBT). I thought that will be helpful to share here my experience with this problem. I have the SBT connected to a 3.5" external 500GB HDD formatted in FAT32 with 'this' (http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) program, because Windows only allows formatting in FAT32 drives with up to 32GB. Initially I thought that this error happened because I have over 32GB of music recorded in this HDD. I followed the advice given in this forum about the album art, and I did more yet: I removed all the images. The problem remained. I formatted the disk to NTFS with Windows, and the problem remained the same. After that I only added to the disk 30GB music, in which case the scanning went smoothly. I was adding a few more albums at a time, until a specific album give me the error again. I removed that album and replaced by another, the error left to give! I ended up add all the missing albums, I ran the scan, and had no problem! Conclusion: the problem of this error, at least to me, was due to some MP3 files that were encoded in some strange way for the SBT. I converted these files again, I added them to the HDD and the scan went smoothly. Therefore, this error can also be due to corrupted music files.

John...I can't confirm whether or not your tip did the trick, but I'm going to give you credit for it anyway! I deleted the "squeezebox.db" files that were on my hard drive as you suggested before I tried another scan and it worked this time. I also did a soft reset of the Touch before the scan using the reset button on the back of the unit.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
KJAM, the continual rescanning has been driven by several reasons. 1) I had to tweak delete a load of duplicates (my USB harddrive is acting as family backup so have sister and GF's music on it, which overlaps). If I could have pointed at a file within USB this may have been avoided 2) I was then fixing the tags on the non-dupe's in their libraries. 3) Then I powered it all off overnight 4) Then I have switched it off numerous times to try and get it to behave! I finished tweaking the files early this morning and this afternoon it seems to have settled down - we'll see what tomorrow brings. Note, since mine are embedded in FLAC they maybe handled differently ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
Slight progress.
The mapped drive was to media-sda1 on Squeezebox Touch -
squeezeboxtouch (Squeezeboxtouch) but there is also
logs on Squeezebox Touch - squeezeboxtouch (Squeezeboxtouch)
that contains "cores/nmbd","cores/smbd" and "watchdog" which are empty
and 7 files
("log.main_pc","log.smbd","log.nmbd","log.0.0.0.0","log.192.168.2.17","wtmp"
and "messages").
I've attached "messages" as it is the largest and looks like a
logfile.
However by the time I got to this point I am seeing slightly different
problems from OP:- I am trying to use STS to stream FLAC synchronised
to itself, a Receiver and a Radio.
The sync is correct but frequently interrupted (rebuffering) and
sometimes stops (but switching Touch in and out of standby seems to
restart it). At 9:37 I had message "problem connecting to Squeezebox
Touch Server" (may not have got wording spot on) on the Touch itself.
Not sure if this is useful to you.

Hi Michael,
I'm struggling to find any logfile (or information on how to find it,
searhced wiki and forums).
Share is on and I can see the contents of the USB drive connected to
the Touch.
There is a T:\.squeezebox\cache folder which only seems to contain 2
database files: "artwork cache", "squeezebox" and
"squeezebox-persistent".
The Touch {Settings/Advanced/Squeezbox Information/Squeezbox Server Log
File/ } shows both server and scanner logs are "syslog". I've searched
the whole T: drive for this but can't find it.
The Touch also shows in {Settings/Advanced/Squeezbox
Information/Folders/ } folders under /etc/squeezecenter/ which are
"cache", "prefs" & "Cache/Install" which I can't find either.
any help appreciated.
I have display hidden files and subdirectories on.

I have had a problem when the database file on the drive is from a different server version. If you had previously used the same drive with an external SBS the .squeezebox.db (I think thats the name, make sure ) file may be in a different format. The filename starts with a "." which makes it a hidden file in some operating systems so it may be hard to see. If you have one of these already on the disk you may want to try either deleting it or changing the name to something else and see if the scan works better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
"Local music service has been stopped due to a problem" usually means that the system ran out of memory. The most likely cause for out of memory errors is during the artwork scan, when a very large image is encountered. Future versions will refuse to resize very large images but for now this is a problem. So you should look for large high-res images as either cover.jpg files or embedded tags. By large I'm talking over 1MB in size. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
This may or may not be practical in your case, but one way to diagnose the issue is to hook up your drive to a computer with squeezebox server installed, and let it scan the same directory of music files. If it fails there you can then read out from the diagnostics exactly which file(s) it's having trouble with. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
The results of my "Wipe/Re-scan" did not go much better. The scan stopped again in almost the excact same spot. It made it all the way through the music scan (20,000 files)and then stopped about 25% of the way through the album art scan (600 files). So is there a problem with one of the album art files? Any ideas of how to get around this issue?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
I have had some similar problems (also with a Smasung Story Station - 1.5T)/ more often it hangs on searching media formusic files. However I have managed to scan in 25000 music files, from some 60,000 files on the drive. My current inclinations are:- whilst scanning, do nothing else! don't share the USB drive (and start tidying it up) don't play music don't load new applets don't search for music Some of these maybe overkill but suggest that you let at least one scan succeed before any messing (which is hard with a new toy!!) I have also found that stopping and starting the server doesn't always give a clean start and therefore I 1) stop server 2) eject USB drive 3) power off USB drive 4) power on USB drive, which is then detected, restarts server and initiates scan. not 100% but good luck. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio (Touch ordered) controlled by IR, SBC [and iPeng on iPhone - wifi died!!] 7.5.0 on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) upgraded to 2G RAM http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
Sorry, I don't have any suggestions for what could be causing the problems you're seeing. I have only experimented a little with the built-in SBS, and that with a small subset of my library on a 16GB USB flash drive, and that has been working fine. Good luck. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Any other thoughts on what the problem could be? I am currently trying to re-scan again, but this time by using the "Wipe/Re-scan" command. I am 50% through the scan so far with no issues. Hopefully it will work this time! -- KJAM KJAM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

At present there is no way to specify a music folder on the attached storage when using the Touch's built-in SBS. It scans the entire drive, but there is no reason that non-music files should prevent the scan from completing. FYI, you can still choose a folder to be scanned in SBS 7.5.0 if you run it on a computer, just like "the old Squeeze Server".
