From the error message, my guess is that you have two folders with almost the same name, but one of these names contains extra leading or trailing spaces. If this is correct and if you can identify the folders in question, you can work around the problem by renaming one of the folders so that it has a unique name after leading and trailing spaces are removed. |

On further investigation, there's a much more likely scenario that could cause this problem. If two folder names differ only in accents on characters (for example, 'Tomás Luis de Victoria' and 'Tomas Luis de Victoria'), this would cause the error. Does this apply to your folder names? |

It seems this error could also occur if two folder names differ only in case. I'll fix all these problems in the next release. |

RE: Can't configure Minimserver
I had two identical folders in different directories - I had copied a folder onto qmultimedia when i was initially trying to get the server working. So that maybe the issue; I've deleted it, so we'll see how it goes.

I've added a fix to the next release. Did you find out why MinimWatch was working on your Mac but not your Windows PC? |

I can see it in my Musictreamer and on plugplayer app. But when i open Minim Server entry it shows only "folder views" which is empty. I only configured the path to music "/share/audio" in MinimServer. All other settings are default. My flac files are in path /share/audio/albums/albumpaths with files inside and path /share/audio/sampler/albumpaths with files inside Path /share/Qmultimedia exists but is empty The hard disk worked a while (approx 30 minutes) , so MinimServer should found something for indexing. Is it ok that empty folder view is shown, when configuration is default, except setted path to the music ? |

Please select 'Restart' from the minim icon and then open the Properties dialog to make sure that the contentDir setting is correct. After changing this setting, you need to press OK to confirm the change and then select 'Restart' from the minim icon. If the contentDir setting is correct, please do the following: 1) From the minim icon, select 'Show log' to open the log window 2) In the log window, change the log level from Info to Verbose 3) Leave the log window open and select 'Restart' from the minim icon 4) You should see messages in the log window for all the directories that MinimServer is scanning. Do you see these messages? |

For only a few albums i get an warning, that tracks in same album folder are different tagged on item albumartist. I think here is workload for me For most albums i got an "scanning directory xxx xxx xx" There are many entries like: reading file 02. xxxxx FLAC block type=0 length=34 FLAC block type=3 length=396 FLAC block type=4 length=574 found Vorbis comment block FLAC block type=6 length=16385 found embedded picture FLAC block type=-127 length=7967 adding file tag TITLE=xxxx adding file tag COMMENT=xxxx adding file tag ALBUM=xxxx adding file tag GENRE=Punk-Rock,Funpunk adding file tag DISCNUMBER=1/1 adding file tag ARTIST=lastname, firstname adding file tag ALBUMARTIST=xxxx adding file tag COMPOSER=(See Booklet For Details) adding file tag ALBUM ARTIST=xxxx adding file tag DATE=1990/01/01 What does this "adding file tag" mean ? Is it the Database indexing ? As i come from Twonky you see that tracks somtimes tagged multi genre, genres are divided with an ","; Could Minimin recognize this dividing into two genres tagging correctly ? My tagging for Artist and Album Artist is lastname, firstname, hopefully not a problem 90% of my tracks are tagged with items: ALBUM ALBUM ARTIST ARTIST different in sampler albums GENRE TITLE TRACK YEAR: sometimes e.g. 2012 or 2012/7/7 or 2012.7.7 comment (sometimes filled) Composer (only classical music) In eyery folder is a folder.jpg cover file. Covers are also embedded into all tracks Music is streamed from a QNAP 3.7 firmware via IPHONE Plugplayer App to an Musicstreamer model :T+A 1260R. Actually playing works fine. I try to change from Twonky to Minim, because it could be more flexibel in creating individual hierarchical Search trees, comfortabel for me browsing through the music. |

Quote:For most albums i got an "scanning directory xxx xxx xx" This is good, and it shows you have your contentDir property set correctly and MinimServer is scanning your albums. Quote:There are many entries like: I think you must have changed the log level to Trace (not Verbose) to get this detailed information. This output is used for debugging problems. The Verbose level of output will tell you which folders are being scanned, so you can confirm that the files in your library are being scanned by MinimServer. Quote:As i come from Twonky you see that tracks somtimes tagged multi genre, genres are divided with an ","; Could Minimin recognize this dividing into two genres tagging correctly ? MinimServer is handling this correctly according to the FLAC specification. Twonky is handling this incorrectly by interpreting the ',' as a separator character. I'm not intending to change MinimServer's correct behaviour to Twonky's incorrect behaviour. Quote:My tagging for Artist and Album Artist is lastname, firstname, hopefully not a problem That's fine. Quote:90% of my tracks are tagged with items: All this is fine. The YEAR tagging will be ignored because MinimServer looks for DATE, not YEAR. It will also ignore COMMENT tags.

Is your earlier problem with not seeing your music files in PlugPlayer (when using MinimServer) resolved now? From this log output, MinimServer should be scanning your files and showing them in PlugPlayer. |

From this log output, MinimServer should be scanning your files and showing them in PlugPlayer. 1.) yes it works 2.) content of "year" tag is shown in plugplayer unfortunately in all variations. So i have more than one entry e.g. 2010 and 2010/7/7. Twonky shows only the first 4 digits, so only one entry for one year. Is it possible also to show only the first 4 digits (2010) ? Is there a possibility to show one track or album in more than one "genres" ? |
