Most of my Albums contain consecutive tracks with different Titles but the same Group.(10-11-2015 17:15)simoncn Wrote:No, the problem does not go away with 6 different Titles but all the same Group.(10-11-2015 16:40)Pastim Wrote: No. All have "discnumber" tag 1. However, in that case the Composer(s) is the same for all tracks. I would also note that all the tracks are in different folders, since I file by Composer, Work, Main Artist. |

RE: Minimserver crash
I discovered that the crash was happening for me because I had a group spanning multiple albums. This had been in my library for some time but I didn't get the crash until I changed displayFormat to include $album.

RE: Minimserver crash
I think I know the triggering cause, consistent with the albums I have that failed.
When what minimserver thinks of as 1 instance of a Group is spread across multiple folders, it crashes. With 'Stabat Mater', each one was by a different composer and in a different folder. With the Symphony in 2 versions, each version was in a different folder. So, I moved one track from another Symphony (Beethoven 1 by Abbado) on a perfectly good album to the previous folder in the hierarchy. Minimserver crashed when I played it. So all tracks in one Group, on one Album, must be in the same folder when the Group.displayFormat includes Album. I think.....? I wouldn't mind if this was a constraint, like other issues that minimserver reports in the log on scanning. |

I don't see any reason why this should be a constraint. I have never seen this problem myself because I use one folder per album. |

Finding an Album with what I want would take much longer, requiring a good memory, something I lack.(10-11-2015 18:27)Pastim Wrote: I think I know the triggering cause, consistent with the albums I have that failed. For non-classical I file by Album. Having made that decision several moons ago I've seen no reason to change it. There are occasions when I want to re-tag an Album that makes this slightly awkward since I'm not always sure what's on an Album. Minimserver helps a lot here, with it's excellent indexing system. The other tool I use to find out is foobar2000, where I've developed many different filters to find stuff and do simple tag changes where necessary (eg correcting the name of an Artist). |

RE: Minimserver crash
Release 72 has resolved this problem. A Group on an Album can now span a folder if required, and the Group.displayFormat can include the Album name.
