I have been testing regularly new rips lately, adding files, re scanning, listening, erasing and re-scanning if I don't like them. Sometime, I use instead the drag and drop feature to listen without re-scanning. After a few iterations this way, LMS crashes. Making a clear library scan may help in theses cases, but I might get then an unexpected crash even when no player is running after. Emptying the cash directory always fixes the problem. First I stop LMS from the control panel, clean the cache, restart from the panel, and all works fine then... until I repeat the process of testing numerous new rips. Doing that manually became tedious, so I was looking to automate it. At first I was making a negligent misspelling of SQUEEZ~3.EXE, but once I noticed it killing became easy. Then I had the problem of having a persistent new Window, but I solved it also using the SW_HIDE flag with a C++ program using CreateProcess to start the server. I'm using LogitechMediaServer-7.9.0-1477086729. I made a post about that already: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?106571-Server-keeps-crashing You very kindly tried to help, but cleaning the cache was how we ended. > > It depends on the way you're running it, really. Just killing the task > is a bit rough - and might indeed cause database corruption! I agree 100% I do it only when the cache is already corrupted, and I have to erase it anyway. I'm starting clean again, erasing the cache and all the logs. Next time I have a crash, I'll post here the LMS and the scanner log, maybe we can figure it out then?
