Title: Strange file path
Post by: Zootsuit on September 05, 2013, 04:51:47 pm

I migrated my library to NAS storage and rebuilt my library accordingly. Now I'm finding unusual paths that I hadn't seen pre-NAS. Here are two example:

http://192.168.1.7:50002/transcoder/genericoder.cgi/id=132471.wav?format=WAV&downsample=false
http://192.168.1.7:50002/m/MP3/133199.mp3

There are normal artist/name/album properties associated with these files. I can actually play files that show these paths. In many case, but not all, the properties associated with these paths are identical to other files with what I'd call normal paths - for instance:

\\DISKSTATION\music\W Drive\New Downloads 9-6-09\Larry Young, Booker Ervin, Pony Poindexter - Gumbo ! (1963)\11 Wade In The Water.mp3

What are these files? Can I safely delete the associated files without compromising the files with customary paths?

Thanks. That explains it. I wasn't using the native import tool for all files.

What is the transcoder reference in some of the paths? I did transcode some .wavs to .flac but thought I'd elected to delete the original files to save space. These .wavs do play properly and show the expected bitrate in MC.

Those paths were entirely generated by the DLNA client, so you'll have to look at it and its configuration.
