There were a lot of big changes between 6.2/6.3 and 6.5.x especially the database. I think the advice when 6.5.0 was released was not to install over a 6.2/6.3 release but uninstall and then clean install, rebuild database and install plugins from scratch. I am not sure but I think 6.5 used the

Thanks Josh. Unfortunately it turns out dvd::rip downsamples by default and I can't see a way to change it: Code: dvdrip.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 48000 Hz I'm only getting 24-bit when I open it in

Hmm, it seems dvd:rip isn't properly signing the WAV files it creates. When I open the file in audacity and re-save it as "signed 24-bit Microsoft WAV" then flac produces an error I'm familiar with on encoding 24-bit WAV files: "WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24"

Just to add, the missing module built fine, although there were many perl errors when 6.5.2 got beyond that point. Perl is 5.8.7 which may be a little too old, although the 6.3 runs without errors. -- ioncube ioncube's Pro

Thanks to this forum I've got 6.5 up and running on my Slug (NSLU2 running Linux). The server runs and the SB can see it fine. The only problem is that there's no music! All the categories are empty. When I do a rescan, it takes a long time (about 4 minutes) and there is tons of disk i/o, but
