Description Matt Richards 2007-12-15 04:11:42 UTC

I find that SlimServer is frequently putting up messages of this type:

Downloading http://server:9000/music/32428/cover_96x96p.png

and sitting there spinning the busy indicator.

There is no such file on my server.  I'm not sure where it's supposed to come from, but it's not coming from there.  The "music" directory has some .pm files and that's it.

This problem seems to slow down the response of SlimServer to me hitting pause, next song, etc. . . . 15 seconds can easily go by before the interface responds.  There is also the continuing and distracting spinning blue circle on the SlimServer tab.

I believe I was able to get around to this by disabling cover art display, and putting in designating a different artwork folder and a fake filename for art, but that doesn't seem to me to be the ideal solution.  I'm also not sure this works all the time.

Any help appreciated . . .

Please use the forum or support to ask for help. This is a bug tracker.

The url you're seeing is a reference to a song's cover art. It's not a 1:1 relation to an existing file. 

Disabling artwork will of course "resolve" this issue, as SC will not have to process (resize) the artwork files any more. Enabling artwork will slow down, as the file has to be fetched from the disk, resized and sent to the browser. For every song displayed.
