Buffer overrun when indexing music - 1.1.0.0

can you easily remove those ... from the file name and try reindexing?

It cleared out the index and then started re-indexing in reverse alphabetical order (i.e. Z to A). It chocked all the way at the end with the artist "...And They Will Know Us by The Trail of Dead" (nice name, eh? ..go indie rock ;) ). I'll put some money on the fact that the "..." - which is part of their name - is what's causing problems. As I have WMP rename all files with artist name included, this "..." is in the file names also.

WMP doesn't have issues, SD does. Chuck - guessing the 3 periods are the culprit?

Are those three periods actually three individual periods or the ellipsis character ? That might be the issue.

those weren't it. i see several songs listed consistently with an error:

I'm going to remove these and try again tonight. My guess is, looking at the 12 or so songs referenced, that the path or track name is too long.

After the next test, if needed, I'll post the logs.

Thanks,

I just looked at the 16 songs that were listed with the above error...the shortest file path is 261 characters long. If I'm not mistaken, the longest allowable file path is 256 (or 259 or 260 when adding C:\ and a null character) characters.

As stated above, I'll remove / shorten these tonight and see if the error goes away...I highly suspect it will.

Good thought, but I've verified they're periods. I think the above will be the answer...we'll see.

reporting back while stuck in traffic;)

That was it...path length was too long. feel free to close (again).

Thanks!
