Having finally found the time to analyze the change in behavior from minimserver 0.8.2 to 0.8.3, there is an improvement with the 0.8.3 57 update. Thanks for this. The null characters show as question marks, but at least the files are loaded into the library. My guess is the the problem is caused by the issue outlined in this thread.

On the windows 8.1 running minimserver 0.8.3 57 there are over 192 thousand lines of warning messages related to 0x00 errors in my minimserver.log file. Do you know of a Windows mp3tag editor program that can read and rewrite the tags without nulls in a batch process? Modifying each tag, one at a time looks rather onerous.

My guess is that jriver is placing nulls in the tags. They are in almost every tag.

Many thanks for your advice and consideration,

Larry

MinimServer has been producing warning messages for NUL characters in tag values for a long time. The only difference in 0.8.3 is that the tag values are loaded (with the NUL characters replaced) instead of not being loaded.

The first step is to find out what is putting the NUL characters into your tag values. It would be very helpful if you could answer the following questions:

1) How were these file containing NUL characters created? For example, were they ripped from CD using JRiver?

2) If they were ripped from CD using JRiver, what version of JRiver was this?

3) What is the file type of these files (e.g., MP3, MP4. M4A, FLAC, WAV, AIFF)?

Many thanks for your help with this.
