[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch does not see new music

Hi I'm running a Touch with external Samsung My Passport drive attached. It has fw 7.5.1 r9218. I do not run any software from my Mac. I ejected the drive and stopped the SB server. I then formatted the drive to FAT and added some new flac music by Pearl Jam so placed those files in the already

Hi John, This time, when I reviewed the listings after typing in: cd /var/log: I had not only the messages option but also messages.0 option. So I've listed the logs for both. I'm assuming the repeated connection errors are telling. Would that have to do with my wifi connection or possibly

I am not clear of the question. I turn off the computer dedicated to music when I am not using it. The issue is not in the turning off of the server but rather that the Touch keeps playing when it is turned off. -- MannyL

Why not shut down the playback before shuting down the server? Since the Touch loses contact w/ the server when you shut that down, its probably a bit lost as to what to do. I have not shut down my music server in years. Its an older laptop dedicated to music only and away in another room along

I can certainly do that. However, on all my other Squeezeboxes I have never had to do this. The Touch are the only ones that keep playing. With regards to shutting down the server... my preference is to shut it down when not in use. The issue again, doesn't happen to any of my other
