I have a number errors in the squeezeboxserver.log including:


[11-01-09 19:04:45.7585] Slim::Formats::readTags (157) File missing: /storage/music/flac/DISK 3/MP3/A Night At The Cotton Club, Part 2,Goin' To Town,Untitled Interlude,Freeze And Melt.mp3[11-01-09 19:04:45.7405] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1165) Warning: [19:04:45.7396] Use of uninitialized value $url in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 782.


I have the same error as above for all tracks in the folder. This strange as I have not added any mp3 files on flac.


Also get the following error:


[11-01-09 19:04:45.6386] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1165) Warning: [19:04:45.6377] Use of uninitialized value $url in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 782.[11-01-09 19:04:45.6371] Slim::Player::Song::new (100) Error: Could not find an object for [Slim::Schema::Track=HASH(0xcff6408)]!




I also have error messages in /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log:

SqueezeBox Serves thinks you have a /storage/music/flac/DISK 3/MP3


directory on your system. Does this directory exist?


Where are you putting the FLACs that you added by drag-n-drop?


Please give the complete path name.


Can you navigate to the FLAC directories you added by using


"My Music -> Music Folder" in the SBS web GUI?


Please try this and report the results.


If your music library isn't too big, report the results of

find /storage/music/flac -type d

This will show the directory structure of /storage/music/flac.


Also report the results of

find /storage/music/flac -name "*.mp3"

This will show if you've added any mp3 files to your


/storage/music/flac directory.




Also report the results of

rpm -q squeezeboxerver
to see what version of squeezeboxserver you're using.

Ron,


I had previously deleted the Disk3/MP3 directory as I had copied it by mistake. My music library is over 100GBs now so I have just listed and example with a directory that is never found when I rescan or delete and scan.


album list


/storage/music/flac/John_Handy_-_Live_At_The_Monterey_Jazz_Festival


/storage/music/flac/Keith_Jarrett_Trio_-_Bye_Bye_Blackbird_1


/storage/music/flac/Duke_Ellington_-_Duke_Ellington_Centennial_Disk_1 THIS IS ONE OF THE DIRECTORIES I COPIED OVER THAT DOES NOT SHOW IN SQUEEZEBOX SERVER


/storage/music/flac/John_Coltrane_-_The_Prestige_Recordings_(May_7,_1956_-_Dec_26,_1958)_(Disc_16)




mp3 list


Duets, And Trios - 12 - Body And Soul (Take 1).mp3

If you deleted the DISK 3/MP3 directory but squeezeboxserver is still


complaining about it, then there is something seriously wrong with the


squeezeboxserver database. Perhaps you didn't do an SBS


"clear library and rescan everything" immediately after the deletion


as you should have. Failure to do this is likely the root cause of your


current problems.


I think your best bet is to delete all the squeezeboxserver generated data


and let it start over from scratch. Here's what to try:



service squeezeboxserver stop


rm -rf /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache


yum reinstall squeezeboxserver


service squeezeboxserver start



This will delete the squeezeboxserver cache directory and let it recompute


the entire database from ground zero.


Hopefully, this will restore SBS to a state of sanity.



Squeezebox Ver.


squeezeboxserver-7.5.5-2.fc14.noarch



I presume this is a typo — the correct version should be


squeezeboxserver-7.5.2-2.fc14.noarch

Ron,


Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, flac files added to VBA still do not show up in Squeezeboxserver album or artist lists. Wondering if I reinstalling VB from 1.7 iso would be the way to go? I've backed up my music so I won't lose anything

That may be your best bet at this point.

[neuroman]

Can I restore my VBA to factory default using the 1.7 iso?

[Ron Olsen]

Yes; everything currently on your VortexBox will be wiped clean.

Ron,


Problem with adding files turned out to be missing m3u playlist files. Created m3u for each flac directory and SBS able to find and index. Also turns out have a bad hard drive so have RMA'd it and will replace.


Thanks again for all your help. I learned a lot!
