+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2656 +++

This bug is listed as fixed in a 6.2.2 nightly, however, I downloaded  SlimServer_6_2_x_v2005-12-14, and I'm still getting the problem.

It's especially vexing to me as I'm using the slim sqlite db as a datasource for another project (populating a phatbox from linux).

Thanks.

---------------- Original description -------------------
I have now identified a very weird repeatable bug in the slimserver scanning process for 6.2.1

Process is as follows:

1) stop server
2) delete database
3) restart server - it begins scanning database
4) during rescan process use web interface to browse to 'Browse Genre/GenreX'
5) perform refresh

During this process I can see artists being added to the list as I expect.

6) wait for end of scan
7) refresh again


Observation:
Many of the tracks that were correctly identified in the GenreX are missing - ie tracks that were identified during the scan process were added and REMOVED/DELETED/CORRUPTED

This is entirely repeatable on my collection, and I have screenshots to show the process if it helps.

It only seems to affect the genre based information (all tracks seem ok when accessed other ways).

Finally I use multiple genres in one tag using a ';' to separate them.

LATER . . . . .

I have narrowed down the bug, but I don't know the root cause.

The bug is because $genreObj->delete; is called in _postCheckAttributes in DBIStore.pm (line 1544 in my version)

To prove this I put in a logging line as follows:
	$::d_import && msg("MALCOLM: deleting a genre $genreObj->name()\n"); #MALCOLM

When slimserver does an initial scan of the database it logs that it is deleting genres (but I don't know why), here's a short extract from the log

That's about as far as I can take it I think . . . .
