Bugzilla – Bug 3683
[REGRESSION] cannot browse symlinked directories
Last modified: 2009-01-29 09:47:05 UTC
I have some symlinks to directories. Clicking on one of these in Browse Music Folder in the web UI, it does not open the directory but treats it as a regular music file, which makes no sense and is not at all useful! (ie it says "Song Info", "Play this song", etc. "File Format" is listed as "Unknown"...) 6.2.2 did not have this bug.
"clear library and rescan" did not fix it.
(copied from other symlink bug, since it appears to be the same underlying problem) reverting r8079 fixes this. bug 2757 (supposedly fixed by r8079) summary says something about an "option" to blah blah blah. well i did not enable any "option"... i don't know what r8079 fixed, but it sure broke the behavior of Browse Music Folder with symlinks. i think it should be reverted, and if bug 2757 is really a bug, it should be fixed some other way. perhaps, as the summary says, it should be an OPTION in a config file for those who want.
Fixed in change 8248
SlimServer Version: 6.3.1 - 8278 - Mac OS X 10.4.7 (8J135) - EN - utf8 Verified to be fixed (on OS X anyway). When I go to browse music folder, I see the appropriately named symlink, and when I click the link it brings me to the correct location, and shows the appropriate music.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
