Title: Problem finding files [Synology NAS Problem]
Post by: vagskal on October 07, 2012, 05:42:49 am: MC has trouble finding some albums on disk. The albums are already in the MC database, but a red cross is shown for all files in the album. The two albums where I encountered this had & in the file path. Other (flac and mp3) albums with & in the file path show up fine. Below are the file paths to the first track on the affected albums.

F:\MP3\Min musik\Artister\Kent\Du & jag döden (2005)\01 - 400 slag.flac
F:\MP3\Min musik\Artister\Kent\Vapen & ammunition (2002)\01 - Sundance Kid.flac

This is with build .54.

I would have said that was impossible on a Windows-based file system.

What file system are you using?

I would too.

I use a Synologi NAS DS211j to store the music files. (http://www.synology.com/us/products/DS211j/index.php (http://www.synology.com/us/products/DS211j/index.php))

It is probably a firmware problem with the NAS:

Synology DiskStation DS211j Release Notes
Version: DSM 4.1-2647
(2012/10/02)
Change log:
Fixed an issue where the folder and file names were case-sensitive when you access them via Windows File Sharing.

I installed the update. The two missing albums were found and pasting cover art no longer produces duplicate folder.jpg files.

Indeed it does! I even think that the update improved an issue I was having with accessing the NAS with the Mac I just acquired in anticipation of the MC Mac version.

Anyone having any idea how to use MC to find all folder.jpg/Folder.jpg duplicates in the same folder?

EDIT: I found the solution. Paste this into the import/export section of a smartlist: [Media Type]=[Image] [Filename (name)]=[folder.jpg] ~dup=[Filename /(path/)]. The image files in the music folders must of course be imported into MC for this to work.
