OK, time to give up. I went back to "basics" and the directory does not appear as a directory to perl. I also tried perl 5.22 just in case. Time to give in for now. Thanks for all the suggestions. Simple test script: Code: #!/usr/bin/perl use utf8; BEGIN {

Cool. I thought the built-into-a-binary was mandatory, but I guess that's a convenience for distribution. Will attempt soon. That big binary basically is Perl and our code wrapped up on one large package which then would be extracted dynamically. But it's no more compiled code then running

not much luck so far. My next step is understanding how the Windows install is built and/or if I can run a semi-pure-perl version to be able to scatter extra debug print() around to narrow down the guilty part. You don't need to "build" LMS for Windows. The most complicated part will be to get

But as I understand it you have your files and folders locally on the Windows machine and you can see and browse them using Windows explorer, right? if yes, it's not a Windows thing per se, but maybe rather a Perl thing on Windows?

I renamed the directory "Sign O' The Times" and did a rescan. Ironically it found it fine and the tags in the FLAC files resulted in the album name containing the peace symbol. Put the symbol back, rescanned and it's gone again. My concern is NOT the renaming of one directory but how many other

I've tried to understand the code; On Windows LMS uses Async.pm, not AIO.pm. The only bit of the code that appears that it could silently skip over a directory is folderFilter() / fileFilter() in https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/7.9/Slim/Utils/Misc.pm, and based on the tests I

The characters STS and CCH are the Unicode C293 (U+0093) and C294 (U+0094), which look similar to the regular double quotes character and the peace character in between seems not to be read properly. The regular double quotes character is not allowed as part of directory or file names in Windows,

If your library is not too big I'd set the log settings for the scanner to Debug and run a full scan again to have all the details in the scanner.log. Otherwise, I'd try with just the missing folder as the only part of your library. Guess the following should allow you to revert things easily:

Don't know if this helps , but folder and file name can be different than the file tags ? Tags are more tolerant than file names ,especially cross OS and disc format systems even more so if you acess the library over cifs/samba on a NAS . Hopefully it can be fixed.
