I am still having fun trying to import from my external hard drives. I now have four. If I import each drive using it's drive letter only, e.g.:

N:/
P:/
V:/
J:/

...then everything is fine. On each of my hard drives I have two directories, namely PCM and DSD. As MinimServer is not yet functional with DSD files, I wish to exclude them from the import. If I enter:

N:/PCM
P:/PCM
V:/PCM
J:/PCM

... then I get problems with drives being highlighted in red and a message asking me to correct. In a previous post you mentioned that MinimServer does not support duplicate names for directories at top level. Perhaps this is why I am having problems. BTW ... Each PCM directory contains two subdirectories, namely 16-Bit and HiRes.

Sorry to keep asking these questions. As previously mentioned, my technical knowledge is limited!

The problem is that all these top-level directories have the same name PCM. You need to rename them to make them different, for example:

N:/PCM-N
P:/PCM-P
V:/PCM-V
J:/PCM-J

Quote:How are you getting on with the update to support DSD conversion? I'm really looking forward to that being available!

As always, with thanks

I'm making fairly good progress, but don't get too excited yet. I'm not sure that the DSD-to-PCM conversion code in ffmpeg will produce the same sound quality results as doing DSD-to-PCM conversion using foobar2000. When I have it working properly, I'll compare these.
