Common issues with Nicotine+

Scanning shares crashes Nicotine+

There is an major issue with  PyVorbis 1.3 and 1.4 where often (and sometimes always) scanning your shares causes a crash if there are any ogg files in them. If you run Nicotine+ from a terminal, you'll will these and other messages into a terminal after i crashes.

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x09441e50 ***
...
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ogg/vorbis.so
...

The solution is to either remove  PyVorbis or get it patched (there are no fixed releases as of 13 March 2007).

Hardly anyone downloads from me

This is because only official clients ( Windows Soulseek and soulseeX ) are allowed to use the distributed search tree , which is the best search method.

If you don't like this, complain to the Soulseek administrators about it.
