Scanning & Indexing fails
-
I have been using Strawberry for a few months on Pop OS and everything works well except that one folder fails to be picked up in a scan so it is never indexed and included. I can browse to the folder and add or replace the playlist with the contents of the folder but the scan fails. Everything is in the "Music" folder (/home/username/Music) with the convention that each folder inside Music represents an album from an artist, e.g. "artist - album name". The following all play, scan, and index fine:
Enya - Enya
Enya - Watermark
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
etc, etc.
Enya - A Day Without Rain fails to scan or register even though I can manually browse to the folder using Strawberry and add or replace the the playlist with the album.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? All other albums index and play fine. -

After spending time comparing folders, permissions, etc. I finally discovered that the CD ripper for this particular folder had not included the .m3u playlist file. Re-ripping the CD corrected the scanning and indexing of this folder/title for both Strawberry and the miniDLNA server running from my RapsberryPi.
