Problem..

[robt]

Ok. Not as simple as i thought (hoped). I replaced the cover artwork but Minimstreamer functioned correctly. Choose another album with embedded artwork that had previously crashed MS and removed the cover,jpg file and MS still crashed.

Ive tried lots of permutations and I cant get a consistent result. Is there a size limit to embedded art or cover / folder files for MS?

What I can say is that MS often fails to show the cover art (on the Stream93) when playing the same file via Synology's own media server, the files show fine so the one conclusion I can come to, and backed up by the MS logs is that it is the cover art that is causing the issue.

I understand why the crashes occur, because the Streamer is constantly asking for MS to pass it and its obviously not happening. Yet Synology's own server seems to have no problem and the cover art is displayed and no sign of crashing. When MS crashes, I cant even re start it without rebooting my NAS. Something I have done 6 or 7 times this evening.

I shall continue to try to pin this down. Simon, do you have any further suggestions? What should I look for in the log files to see where and when MS is being asked for the artwork?

Cheers..
