I am running the latest b3 version 2.3.1.1
I have Squeezebox Touch with firmware version 7.6.1 r9486
And I'm having problem with the squeezebox server on my b3 since the upgrade to version 7.6.1
My problems with the latest update to the squeezebox server
1. Missing Icons, as mentioned by other users
2. Duplicate albums, I think the server scans playlists in music folders as duplicate album...
3. Can't browse by artist or by album from the squeezebox touch or the squeezebox android app
When trying to browse by artist from the squeezebox touch I'm getting
"Trying to connect" message and the wait icon, I can wait all day but nothing happens.
When I try to browse by artist from the Squeezebox android app I'm getting an error message:
Connection timed out the connection to the server timed out.
This can happen when there's a problem with your network, or if the server is overloaded. Try again.
I check the squeezebox log /var/log/squeezecenter/server.log
When the server starts the log is:
Code: Select all

After trying to browse by artist from the squeezebox android app this messages added to the log:

I tried to remove the squeezebox server and reinstall it.
Rescan the library
Reboot the b3 and the squeezebox touch
Nothing helped to solve these problems.
Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade to version 7.6.1
And nothing changed at my music folder.
I installed squeezebox server 7.6.1 on my Ubuntu laptop, scanned my music library and then connected my Squeezebox touch to it and everything worked as it should.
Please fix the squeezebox server on the b3.
My last request from you is, next time test your updates
thoroughly before publishing them.
It is better to wait a month or two longer for an update but to have a stable and working server!
