MP3 files not added, refresh not always working, and more :)

Hello.

I have encountered similar issues as described in this post:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9740

I'll add some log info too, maybe it will help.
I'm using serviio pro 1.2.1, java version "1.7.0_17", windows 7 x64 Pro.

Also, if I may add some suggestions:

1. Please add a way of notifying the user that some files failed to be added to the collection. In my case I have a folder newly added that contained mp3s, all with the problem listed below. Because of that none of them was added so the initial guess was that either the Auto Refresh or the Force Refresh do not actually work. They did , but because of the errors and the lack of feedback all I could see was that the new folder was not added. It would be great to add either a small message in the Serviio Console, something like "XXX files failed to be added, please check the log file for more information" or simply a red flag with the same description to have a clue of what happens.

2. Please add a way to force refresh a specific folder within the collection and/or a way to force rebuild the cache for specific folders. I have added in an existing folder 4 new folders with audio (mp3/mp4) files. One was seen on auto refresh, the other 3 weren't. I tried basically everything (force refresh, restart the service, waited 24h, etc) but nothing helped. All the 4 folders have the same timestamp and there is no reference whatsoever to those 3 missing in the debug log file. I actually parsed the log step by step to see any hint but there was no hint at all, as if those 3 folders were invisible . I could see the one that was added in the log, the rest were simply not there. I intended to manually delete the corresponding cache files for the parent folder from this location "c:\Program Files\Serviio\library\db\seg0" but the naming of those cache files is not obvious so I think I have to delete them all to force a full refresh, which I don't really want to do. Is there any other option?

3. I know this is off topic , but I'm going to say it anyway: please update the flowplayer, preferably with the html5 version. At least for mobiles (Android/iOS/ChromeOS) this would be great. I own several iOS/Android devices and also a Chromebook Pixel and while for iOS/Android there are tons of players for ChromeOS there are basically no alternatives... The current Flash version works but is clumsy, takes a lot of cpu, and lacks tons of needed features (for instance the ability to select a specific soundtrack). Thank you .


Now, the logs/errors...

Is seems there were a bug for metadata extraction

Hello.

Do you have any idea of when the next version will be available (hopefully with the fix )?

Also, can you tell me if there is an workaround for the refresh issue (other than clearing manually all the cache files)?
An option to force refresh for specific folders or to clear only parts of the cache would help a lot.

Thank you.

Have the same issue. The quick fix is to download MP3Tag and bulk change the year field to a single four digit number for all the files.
