Duplicate tracks after rescanning; immediately after downloading updated Slim Sever
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:25 UTC
I just downloaded update to Slim Sever (6.2.2 / Firmware Version 48) After scanning using "scan only new music" option, many albums now have duplicate tracks. NOT ALL albums, and NOT ALL tracks; but numerous albums with 2-3 duplicated tracks each. In my scans prior to download of update, this was NOT an issue. I estimate 1/3 of my albums are affected. Here's an example of the duplicate problem (only tracks 1 and 9 have been duplicated): 1. At Least That's What You Said from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 1. At Least That's What You Said from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 2. Hell Is Chrome from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 3. Spiders (Kidsmoke) from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 4. Muzzle Of Bees from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 5. Hummingbird from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 6. Handshake Drugs from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 7. Wishful Thinking from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 8. Company In My Back from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 9. I'm A Wheel from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 9. I'm A Wheel from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 10. Theologians from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 11. Less Than You Think from A Ghost is Born by Wilco 12. The Late Greats from A Ghost is Born by Wilco
Ok, two weeks later and this is still an issue. Majority of newly entered CDs have 2-4 duplicated tracks; a couple albums are duplicated in entirety. As far as I can tell, downloaded MP3s from emusic.com do not suffer this issue. Only CDs that I have burnt into iTunes. I've tried rescanning entire library, to no avail. Here's another example: 1. Old Dan Tucker from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 2. Jesse James from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 3. Mrs. McGrath from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 4. O Mary Don't You Weep from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 4. O Mary Don't You Weep from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 5. John Henry from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 6. Erie Canal from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 7. Jacob's Ladder from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 7. Jacob's Ladder from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 8. My Oklahoma Home from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 9. Eyes On The Prize from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 10. Shenandoah from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 11. Pay Me My Money Down from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 12. We Shall Overcome from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 13. Froggie Went A Courtin' from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen 13. Froggie Went A Courtin' from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen
Dan, how does the "scan only new music" function work? Does it compare file timestamps? Perhaps Mark has some programming that's touching some of his files?
It checks the timestamp and size of the file to determine if the file has changed.
Mark - are those files in a playlist perhaps? Are you using iTunes as well? If so, can you send the playlist in question (what program created it?). And if you are using iTunes, could you send your iTunes xml file? Do you have a music folder path set as well as using iTunes? Can you try removing the music folder path, and doing a wipe & rescan? Thanks
From: Mark White <mark@....> Subject: Good News on Slim Server Dupes Date: Tue, 06 Jun 2006 22:19:08 -0700 I followed your lead and went through entire Server configuration on Slim Server and found these settings: iTunes Music Library.xml Location iTunes Music Folder In each case a path had been generated by default when I originally set SlimServer up. I deleted these paths, along with the Music Folder Path, and that did the trick. As far as I can tell, all dupes disappeared after wiping and rescanning. No more track dupes, and no more album dupes. Everything is back to normal. So, it appears that my bug is fixed. Too many settings to keep track of for idiots like myself. Thanks for the leads. Mark White
Subject: RE: Duplicate tracks after rescanning; immediately after downloading updated Slim Sever FYI: I've also tried to rescan entire library, but no improvement on this issue. Also, after more checking, both MP3 source files and CD-burned files are affected, and I have one full album dupe as well. I'm not touching any of the files once they have downloaded or burned, so I'm not altering the files knowingly in any way. Thanks for checking into this.
