Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Server scan terminates unexpectedly after long loop.
jdt, If you have used "Bud Powell" as the artist and/or albumartist tag and he is being listed under "Powell" then somewhere you must have an artistsort or albumartistsort. It only takes one instance in the tags of a single file because all the names are held in a single list (or table) of "contributors". Bear in mind that information will also be picked up from your cue files, as well as from the tags.

Are you using LMS to serve media files (in particular movies and photos) to DLNA renderers? Your scan seems to be crashing while scanning photos/movies. If you didn't do this intentionally, then make sure you disable this in Settings/Basic in the web UI. After unchecking the Pictures box in Basic Settings I initiated a complete rescan, including the clean cache option. The scan did complete and I assume that LMS will now function. I have attached copies of the scan log and server log after the completion of the most recent scan. This is pretty strange because I am almost certain that I did not check the Pictures box until after I had encountered this problem. But if LMS is going to work I will not spend any time, or ask anyone else to spend time trying to figure out exactly what happened. I can only assume that after I did check the Pictures box that did create a problem, as Michael speculated. So many thanks to everyone who made suggestions, especially to John and Michael, who were very helpful. I do have another question, to which there is probably not a simple answer. The question is why is LMS listing albums under the last name of an album artist when I have taken care to list all albums by that album artist under his/her first name? I will give a specific example. I have 5 albums by Bud Powell. I have listed him as album artist Bud Powell in all the albums. I have listed him and the other band members as artists. There is no albumartistsort or artistsort checked in the tagging software (Mp3tag). Bud Powell is not listed under the Bs. He is listed as Bud Powell under the Ps. This happens with some other albums too. However, I am unable to see any consistency or pattern to it. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? If so I will appreciate your help. However, for now I have a LOT of work to do trying to clean up the mess in my library (to correct all the errors and warnings that appear in the logs). I had no idea I had such a mess until you guys pointed it out to me. I am going to try to do a better job of file maintanence. Many thanks for all your help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Server scan terminates unexpectedly after long loop.
Thanks for the files. Have you looked at the scanner.log? There are a vast number of warnings and errors. You really need to check the scanner.log and sort the errors out. Most of the _warnings_ are "Invalid RATING tag". These all seem to use a decimate point, e.g. 3.5, however these are warnings, not errors. It is still worth correcting them *after* you have sorted out the Errors. The _Errors_ mostly concern cue files where the scanner cannot find the music file(s) specified in the cue file. If you have re-organised your music files one possibility is that the cue files have become separated from the music files referenced. The scanner.log has all the information you need to find and correct these errors. Go to each cue file that has an error - open it in Notepad - look for the line(s) starting with FILE - and check why it can't find those files. These errors will greatly slow down the scanner, to say the least. In general, when you scan your music library after major changes it is important to look at the scanner.log to spot any errors - so you can check your files and correct the errors. (It is also a good idea to periodically check the scanner.log in any case.) I always open the scanner.log file in Notepad (or Wordpad) then search for "Error". As I said before, in Windows 7 64bit your scanner.log file should be in C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\logs\ So, what you need to do is go through the scanner.log and correct the errors. Then do a "Clear library and rescan everything". Then check the scanner.log again and sort out any remaining errors, do a full rescan - and repeat until you have cleared all the errors. Once you have done that do report back if you still have problems. Touch, Meridian G92, Meridian G55, PMC OB1i speakers, HP Proliant Microserver/Ubuntu, PC/Windows 7, iPad 4, iPeng, Squeezepad.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Server scan terminates unexpectedly after long loop.
The scanner.log is in a plain text file (good) but the other file
("Server Log & Scanner Log (1).doc") is still in a Word file - can you
send it as a text file (zipped).
The scanner.log file still stops on the same image file: "James Brown -
Love Power Peace (label_B).jpg". It will probably continue to do so
until the problem file is dealt with. So why don't you just delete the
damned thing?
There are also problems with the artwork files in: Freddy King\Gives you
a Bonanza of Instrumentals (1965) (Sundazed 180g mono) (2496-aksman) -
the scanner seems to dislike their names.
Forgive me for saying so, but the first thing I would do is to correct
the problems that you already know about from the scanner log. Then do a
full rescan and once again check the scanner log, etc, etc and report
back when all the errors you find are dealt with.
That's just my opinion, for what it's worth.

It appeared to be running well over all 4 drives, then scanning the art in a separate scan. Then, after over 3 hours, it hung up on one art object in a folder in drive #2. It stayed there for over an hour, at which point I terminated the scan. It is now rescanning under a normal "look for new and changed media folders" procedure. Unfortunately, I did not copy the logs before starting this new scan...a beginner's mistake on my part. I will see what result the ongoing scan presents and report that.

I have deleted a couple of the corrupt files. However, I am unable to determine why the scanner cannot access the folder in which the other art files listed in the scan log are located. This is very odd because I am also certain that the corrupt files were corrupt prior to the addition of the 4th drive and did not prevent the successful completion of the scans. All very strange. All I did was add the fourth drive. Then, of course, I added it to the library and rescanned. In any event thank you for your input.

It begins the scan and all appears to be working but then, after it seemingly has completed the scan of all 4 drives it begins again to scan drive 1. This then continues for a very long time, followed by a message saying that the scan terminated unexpectedly. This has been going on for 3 days.
