Missing Tracks

Post by villager » Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:58 pm

Hello

I just installed 6.0.36 last week and found that shutting down the system for a period of time, say over a weekend, results in missing tracks after a fresh reboot. Last time I lost about 1,000 tracks. However, rescanning the library always solves the problem. Does anyone have the same problem? My machine runs Windows XP SP3.

Thank you.

Clean shutdown I assume?
No longer running Twonky

Correct.

Another observation: If I interrupt Twonky while it scans (or rescans) the library, either when the machine wakes up from sleep or boots up, by, say starting a program, it stops scanning. Yesterday I woke up my machine to back up my entire hard drive using Acronis True Image. When the machine started backing up the hard drive, Twonky stopped rescanning and I lost about 9,000 tracks.

It sounds like it isn't having a chance to do a clean shutdown. Unfortunately I don't use it on Windows so can't really help any further.
