Ultra not scanning all tunes.

[karlinamillion]

Have just purchased an Ultra, and have a bit of a problem.
My SSD drive has approx 24000 tracks on it. LMS reads this fine. The are all Flac, and only a few have the 'important' metadata missing. (Album, album artist etc)
Plug it into the Wiim and it only scans about 9700 tunes. Do a quick scan and it adds about another thousand.
What can I do/where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance
Karl

If you are already using LMS I would stick with that.

Can I put LMS on the Wiim?
Certainly don't want to involve my NAS, and using a pi etc seems a step back in neatness and box count

No but the WiiM appears as a player in LMS . What are you running LMS on?

It was on a Rpi 3.
But I would much rather the Ultra would read all the tracks, like it should

For the time being, I’d stick to using the pi. I got the Ultra as a replacement for a pi but that’s just been causing headaches and, for me at least, controlling the Ultra from LMS is a much better experience.

Can I ask why not? It's likely to be a better solution for your large library than a usb in the wiim.
But of course, it's your choice!

25watts in idle for my Nas is more that the power consumption of the entire house in 'idle'.
Really the point is that the Wiim won't read all the tracks...

Were they the numbers reported at the beginning of the scan i.e. Found 9700 Tracks?

The indexing process is a black box, so your only option is to send feedback through the WHA (More > feedback) which will give WiiM the necessary access to debug the problem.
