The Library Server has changed such that it is now screwing up my view scheme functionality in my iPod setup configuration. In a nutshell, I have a smartlist that has as one of the rules "[Filename (path)]=D:\Audio Library\". The "D" drive in this case refers of course to the server's drive, NOT the client, since the rule was written and is being "read" from the server machine. Unfortunately, the client no longer understands that the rule is referencing the server's drive, which breaks the functionality. Since the audio files don't exist on the "local" D drive, MC suddenely no longer sees these files. The client needs to understand that the rule refers to the server's D drive, which has always been the case before now.
This was NOT a problem with earlier builds. The smartlist worked the same way on the client machine that it did on the server WITHOUT making any changes -- browsing from the client functioned as if you were browsing from the server since the client properly interpreted the "D" drive as being the SERVER'S D drive. My rule has not changed (it has always been "[Filename (path)]=D:\Audio Library\") -- it's MC's interpretation of the [Filename(path)] rule on the client machine that has apparently changed. This means that my iPod setup scheme is currenlty broken with the current build of 11.1 when I'm using the client machine.
I don't know exactly when this issue popped up, but I can say that it's always worked properly with earlier builds, inlcuding 9, 9.1, 10, and 11. Since the rule is being "read" off the server machine, it should refer to the server's drives. Note that even if you change the smartlist or veiw scheme on the client, the next time you open MC it reloads the server's library, and the problem once again presents itself.
On a related note, I'm no longer seeing "[Filename (path)]" as one of the available fields. I do see "[Filename (name)], but the "path" version does not appear in the dropdown list.
Thanks for looking into this,
Larry
