SBS 7.6 Priority: Fix the scanning problems

[MrSinatra]

I will try to do an RC for 7.6.1, no ETA though. Please continue to file bugs and CC me on anything scanner or artwork related.

I'm still here, it is basically just Michael and myself now who still work on the server. Alan may help if we're lucky. Our QA staff has been completely gutted and there is now just 1 guy who also likely has to test other Logitech audio products. This awful situation may get better soon, but who knows, depends on how the winds of Logitech change.

i am sorry to hear this. its really too bad, but i can only assume that decreased revenue is forcing decreased resources and some serious introspection at logitech, and i think thats long overdue. hopefully the management will listen to the marketplace, and stop daydreaming.

can you please clarify though, is it just you and Michael for SBS 7.6.x, or just you two for both SBS 7.6.x AND 7.7/LMS?

is the main goal/priority right now to get LMS done to support the Revue?

I finally got tired of repeating the same things over and over again, so I've created a wiki page with known problems and troubleshooting guidelines which we can refer people to, I announced it in the "Squeezebox Server" section here:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=645134

Please, let's together improve that wiki page to make it easier for users to solve their problem. Since I've now made an initial version I hope everyone else is willing to help improving it. So, anyone that feel the page contains incorrect, unnecessary or confusing information or think it's missing something, feel free update it on the wiki.

I think the wiki is a great idea. And I wouldn't mind helping with the testing. I have set up a separate installation for 7.6.X so it is possible to test without interfering with our daily use of SBS.
I have until now just tested that it works on my installation with a single Duet. And until now I haven't found anything that Michael and Andy didn't know already. So if I have to do any further testing I need a plan. What do you want me to test? And how?
In short is there a testplan we can follow, so we can get this bird of the ground?

And how do can I edit the wiki-page. After I have logged in I don't have the permission for it.

There aren't any formal test plan but I think the best we can do at the moment is to either:
- Look though the issues mentioned in the forum and try to reproduce them and make sure to register a bug report for them if there isn't already one registered.
or
- Look through the open 7.6.0 bug list, specifically those with status "UNCONFIRMED" and try to reproduce them and provide them with more information if needed. You will find some various lists of bugs in the "Finding things in the bug database" section of the wiki page. The list of unconfirmed 7.6.0 bugs is this one: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/buglist....e%2Cshort_desc

And how do can I edit the wiki-page. After I have logged in I don't have the permission for it.

Are you logged in to the wiki ? It's separate login from the forum.
When logged in, you should be able to goto the wiki page:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Troubleshooting76
And select the "edit" tab and edit the text, don't you get the edit tab ?

Okay I will check the buglist.

Yes I got it now. I just needed to confirm the email.

Erland - you're the man! Thanks a lot!

I had a few checkins which fixed side-effects (or partial fixes) to other changes. There's probably no need to list them in the wiki. Will review that section.

Michael,

I think I found something interesting. I can have all my playlists complete with 7.6.1 v.3304 for Mac OSX version. I have a Netgear NAS Ultra Touch 2 Plus and I installed the same 7.6.1 version. I applied for the NAS the same Mac OSX setup to scan my music and iTunes playlists. All my music library was scanned, however for my iTines playlists some are still complete, incomplete or missing. The scan was also very slooooooow.... I can see under "analyse des nouveaux fichiers" a triple /// before the C. Could this be the cause of the problem? How can I resolve it? I sent you all my information.
