Duplicate tracks with 'Unknown' properties

Posted by: nickpeacock on 05 April 2014

Copied some files onto my nas in alac (and a few in MP3). Ripped in iTunes originally and copied to USB key.

Synology Audio Station and n-stream both show the files in alac and MP3, which play fine BUT...

Audio Station and n-stream also show duplicate track files (all commencing in format ._ ) all of which have otherwise 'unknown' file properties and which I can't locate or see in the original folder in order to be able to delete.

Any ideas what's going on?

Try a reboot / re-scan by the server, and see if they disappear.  They might!

Thanks, Bart.

 

Turns out they were some hidden files, which I deleted manually without wrecking anything.

 

Re-indexed at the same time just to be sure...
