SlimServer 6.5 doesn't see tags that were fine before
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:11:39 UTC
With SlimServer 6.3.1 and prior, I had no problems with SlimServer reading the tags for any of my songs. I installed 6.5 (clean install per Dan Sully's instructions) and ended up with close to 5000 songs where the tags were not being recognized by Slimserver. Today I used J. River Media Center to do a forced rewrite of all tags for my entire music library, then did a clear and rescan with SlimServer. It got better, but there are still close to 200 files where SlimServer 6.5 is not recognizing some or all of the tags. I am attaching an example file which SlimServer shows as No Artist, No Album, and No Genre. I have had MusicMagic disabled while I try to sort this out.

KDF: It appears SlimServer is guessing tags for what you posted as comment #2. I do no want SlimServer guessing tags, because my MP3's are all properly tagged. I have removed all the "Guess tag" entries from SS settings.
PS: I also had removed the guess tag settings in earlier versions of SS.
heh...that's what I get for being denied my coffee today.... I do get the artwork for it though, and that's not from guesstags.
Dan sent me an update last night that has fixed this issue for me. I did a clear and rescan last night without MusicMagic and my library looked pristine. Cover art in the gallery views and everything. However� just for the record, after I added MusicMagic back in and rescanned, the covers no longer are displayed in the gallery views, and now some of my albums are split into two entries with partial tracks in each. When the album is split, the MM icon appears for one entry and not the other, although the entire albums shows as analyzed in the MIP program. Also, some albums/tracks that should be MM enabled are not showing the icon.
Sue - is there any pattern to the duplicates? Also, if you have MusicMagic turned on, and do a wipe & rescan, does everything look right?
No pattern that I can discern. I've already done a wipe and rescan a few times since adding MM back, and it's the same as I described in comment 6 every time. I decided just to disable MM in SlimServer. I almost never use it to generate mixes from the player, and when I do want a mix I can still do it in the Music IP GUI and send it to my Squeezebox through the program. It's one less thing I have to run at startup on my PC, so I'm okay with that.
Ok - I'll try and reproduce and will open another bug. Thanks
