Music scan terminated unexpectedly - Squeezeserver v7.5.1
I am getting the message, "Music scan terminated unexpectedly (Directory Scan)" with Squeezeserver 7.5.1 running on a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro. When I repeat the Re-Scan, it terminates on different directories.
I tried clearing the database and re-installing Squeezeserver, but it made no difference. Filesystem and Volume scans on the ReadyNAS do not show any errors.
Is this a known issue with v7.5.1?
I did not have this trouble with 7.5.0.
I had to upgrade to 7.5.1 in order to get Touch to stream 24/96 files correctly. I recall getting a full scan after first installing Squeezeserver 7.5.1, but I may be mistaken about that since I almost always select music using the "Music Folder" feature, which I am still able to do.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

- glashoppahAspirantI have experienced the same behavior. I tried everything. I also posted extensive information on it at Slim's site. None of the suggestions helped. I downgraded back to 7.4 and everything was fine.
I'm pretty annoyed that there isn't a Slim developer that can answer the simple question of what is different between 7.4 and 7.5 scanning. 7.4 scans my entire collection without a hiccup, 7.5 can't get through it.
G. - CSdread1AspirantHaving the same issues here. Has this been resolved? If not where can I find the 7.5.0 version of the server software for downgrading?
- Bit_PlayerAspirantI sent scanner and server log files to a Logitech support person on Tuesday.
I will let you know what they find ASAP.
Cheers. - axxel1Aspirantok, now there's at least 3 threads with the same issue and not answer....someone's got an idea where to get slimserver 7.4.1?
- axxel1Aspirantwell...sometimes I'd better make an extensive search before posting...
here we go: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/Squeez ... er_v7.4.2/ - Bit_PlayerAspirantIt has been 3 days since I sent log files to Logitech. I sent an inquiry e-mail this afternoon as I have not yet heard back from them. Very frustrating!
Perhaps the fix is that their software needs to be re-written and they are busy doing that. For example, why should a filename or tag with valid Windows XP characters cause the scanner to hang? This apparently still occurs, and is pathetic, really, given how long this product has been on the market. (I am not saying that this is the cause of my problem because the scanner used to work with my music collection.)
Given all the many bugs, hassles and band-aids that I've been through to get this system to "work", I now regret ever having bought it. This is coming from a former IT professional, so I don't need my hand held as much as most customers, who I imagine, get even more frustrated than me with this system.
I thought that by waiting a while before becoming a Squeezebox adopter, I would bypass some of the hassle and bugs. Woops!
This reminds me of an old IT saying, "Those who live by the leading edge of technology will be sacrificed on it."
Cheers, and happy Labor Day Weekend! - glashoppahAspirant

I am disappointed that 7.5.1 has been out so long (since early last Spring) without a fix or even a single peep from their engineers on the problem - they act like it doesn't exist.
On the other hand, with 7.4 (and many previous versions on ReadyNAS and Windows) I've had wonderful performance and usability. I'm not ready to switch.
G. - axxel1AspirantNow it's been some weeks that I am back to 7.4 - quite happily. However, I really can't understand there's no support from Logitech.
I remember that in the past, the Slimserver for NV+ has always been released with some delay compared to the other platforms. Probably this time was spent for sytem test...now the NV+ version is released along with the main platforms....honi soit qui mal y pense! - JazzRecordJunkiAspirantI have the exact same problem, running Squeezerver 7.5.1 on my ReadyNAS Duo.
We are a couple of months further in time now, since the last post to this message, and what I understand from other postings the problem is still not solved in 7.5.2 (not even in the latest build).
Before I rollback to a prior version I would like to know if anybody has an advice for me about the last known version that worked fine? Is that 7.4.2 or 7.4.1? - Bit_PlayerAspirantI reverted to 7.5.0 and the scan works fine as before. (ReadyNAS Pro)
Once again, I have to put up with "skipping" at the start of the first cued 24bit/96khz track, or if I jump to a different track in a playlist. That had been fixed in 7.5.1.
Recently, my Logitech support concact had me install a beta verson of 7.6.0. In a very frustrating waste of an entire evening, I did so, and couldn't even get SqueezeBox Server to start! So, I went back to 7.5.0.
I also let Logitech know that I am not doing any more debugging for them. When they officially release 7.6.0, or whatever they call it, I will try again.
It is clear that Logitech is not capable of handling the technical demands of this product.
Good luck.
