Description miguel.bugzilla 2006-01-08 06:32:11 UTC

SlimServer appears to handle identical physical path names as unique tracks if any part of the path contains variances in case.  To illustrate...

\\Server\Share\myartist\myalbum\mytrack.mp3

  is treated as unique to...

\\server\share\myartist\myalbum\mytrack.mp3

This is causing duplicate tracks in the database (two or more records pointing to the same physical file) when user maintained playlist files are present and the references do not contain indentical casing.

If this functionality is by design, it is requested that an option be made available to turn on/off based on user preference.

change 6799 is a possible fix for this, see april 2 build of 6.2.2 to confirm.

The change that KDF references fixes this problem. We now turn all paths to the canonical case as seen by the filesystem.
