Scanner not working on my system



I installed xplrio.net 3.2d and was able to get it to work: I get the
menu, the streaming seems to be working, but not perfectly (see below)
. The main issue I have is with the scanning of the files:



All my music is on remote share on a linux computer. I mapped the
drive in windows as P:. The root of the music I want to get in the
receiver is "P:\In Receiver". I can access this without problem
with
windows. All the mp3 files are in subfolder of Artist\Album. AS I
understand it, I should put the "P:\In Receiver" in the
scanner.xml.
I
also used the configurator and browsed to that directory and it did
nothing. When I click on Scan, or Purge and Scan, I get the message,
Scan Queued... which I think is OK. After a minute or so, it returns
to Waiting... and I don't get any files.

To continue testing, I copied the folder on my C: so it becomes "C:
\In Receiver". I change the configuration in scanner.xml, and a
minute
after pressing scan, I get all the tracks listed. In the
configurator,
it suggests to enter UNC, so I tried \\192.168.0.9\multimedia\In
Receiver, and I got the same non-result. I tried to subst the folder
to J:... Same thing.


Is there any way I could make it work with my network share? Is there
any known issue?





I'm also getting a lot of shuttering when listening to shoutcast
streams. I didn't search a lot yet on this, maybe it's normal, as
the readme tells streaming isn't yet supported...





The whole project is impressive!! I'd be a follower if I can get the
scanning issue to work.... Having 4 receivers here, it'll be great to
get them to sync and play shoutcast...


Thanks!
