Bugzilla – Bug 2752
CUE sheet navigation under Browse Music Folder
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
External CUE sheets no longer work. Slimserver reads the cue file, but playback fails and reports "Can't open file for: ...". Fails with any format, FLAC, MP3, etc. File reference value in the CUE file makes no difference.
Created attachment 1082 [details] This is the CUE sheet for file 'Evil Nine - You Can Be Special Too.flac'
A possible patch for this is in 6.5. if you are interested please try that out. see bug 1855 for more information. likely this is a dupe of that bug, as it looks like similar symptoms so far.
Created attachment 1100 [details] Cue for for an MP3 file as opposed to FLAC Example of MP3 cue file. All of my MP3 cue files don't work
Cue files still show up as empty as for Jan 14th nightly. "SlimServer Version: 6.5b1 - 5635 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252"
it works for me. playback is fine. They will show up as empty when using Browse Music Folder, but that's another issue. If i go in through browse artist, browse genre or browse album, I can play any song from a cue sheet: tested mp3, flac internal and flac external. cue sheets are made using EAC
I only use Browse music folders, that would explain it. Should I open another bug?
Not necessary to open a new bug, the BMF issue is bug720 or bug1360 (either of which would need to be re-opened). You can easily add the comment that it is also a problem for you with mp3, or you can rewrite the summary here. I'm not sure wha t the design plan is for BMF. It isn't meant for metadata viewing, currently.
I belive the BMF design is such that BMF does not descend into "virtual" files such as cue sheets. As such, this would be an enhancement. Cue sheet support under browsedb modes should be in place in current 6.5 builds.
Flacs with _internal_ cuesheets also show up empty when browsing music folder. In 6.2 branch they are expanded to playable tracks.
Created attachment 1169 [details] Flac with embedded cuesheet (audio data removed)
