Options -> Set Music Library Folder does not trap invalid folder path
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:55:32 UTC
Running SlimServer as a service, assigning the Music or Playlist folder to a mapped drive letter using the Server Settings web page gives this error message (this is not the bug): "Oops - "Z:\" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again." Using the UNC-style path "\\server\folder" does work. The possibility of a mapped drive letter not working is mentioned in the FAQ, even when Slimserver's service has been modified to login as a user account, so this error message is not unexpected. This is the bug: If instead of using Server Settings I use Options -> Set Music Library Folder to set the path, I can browse to "Z:\", and this is accepted as a valid entry. Though there is no error message, the invalid path doesn't work, and Slimserver will not build the music library index. There's no clue for the user as to why the scan didn't work. Fix: Selecting an invalid path in Options -> Set Music Library Folder should generate the same error message as entering an invalid path in Server Settings.
Let's pull the menu item from the windows gui and rely on the server settings interface.
no longer an issue as of 6.1.1
