Disabling CUE file extension support? (1 Viewer)

It looks to me like MediaPortal picks up the CUE files in my music folders because I see tracks being listed twice - presumably one for the .CUE and one for the actual .FLAC. The problem is that I've checked in my music extensions and I cannot see CUE listed in there. So how do I stop this?

From the MediaPortal.xml:

<entry name="extensions">.ape,.b4s,.cda,.flac,.m3u,.m4a,.m4p,.mp3,.mp4,.mpc,.ogg,.pls,.wav,.wma,.wpl,.wv</entry>

Note that CUE files are listed under my supported extensions for DAEMON Tools, but this shouldn't interfere with the music settings, right?

    Don't have access to the code now, but normally, we should just get the files out of the CUE and suppress the listing of the original FLAC file.

    Can you post the content of your CUE file please?

    Ended up fixing the duplicate issue by removing .cue files from the list of supported images for mounting.

    Just started looking into this duplication behavior as well and discovered the cue files and eventually arrived here. I know I can remove the cue files to fix. My case is the same, it is for flac files, but the cue files have them listed as above as wave files this is what I am guessing is causing the duplication as the extensions don't match. Not sure if this is a normal result of creating flacs or not but doesn't seem right does it.

    Only just noticed that. Yes the cue file is wrong. It is making MP think there is a wav file and it is also picking up the flac file.
    Does one of the duplicates not play?

    edit: just read this properly and the cue file is not yours...
    The but that says wave is fine but the file names should match the actual file names

    Yes one of the files does not play. My cue files are basically the same as the one above my post, flacs files but listed as wave in the cue. File names should match no doubt. Think this may be common behavior for some flac rippers unfortunately. A quick search and replace on text in .cue files should work to correct for me or just delete them as mentioned earlier :).

    The bit that says wave is correct but the filename should match the actual filename. Assuming cue file is for multiple music files it should contain something like

    Code:
     FILE "The Specials - Singles - 01 - Gangsters.flax" WAVE 
    TRACK 01 AUDIO 
    TITLE "Gangsters" 
    PERFORMER "The Specials" 
    INDEX 01 00:00:00 
    FILE "The Specials - Singles - 02 - Rudi, A Message To You.flax" WAVE 
    TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Rudi, A Message To You" 
    PERFORMER "The Specials" 
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
