hi all,
after a partial system upgrade I reinstalled ubuntu (from 8.10 32 bit to 8.10 64 bit).
I didnt touch my /home with the cover arts, ratings and stuff... (~/.kde/share/apps/amarok) so I was hoping that amarok2 would use them after the reinstallation, which is unfortunately not the case :(
Did I miss something?
Would be terrible to lose all the work I put in cover arts, ratings, etc.

Can anyone help ?
Thx in advance.

I did the same upgrade (32 to 64 bit) a few days ago and there have been no problems, but my collection is on an external USB disk. Did you try rescanning the collection?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

hi!

I partially solved the problem. 
I have now at leas the ratings and number of time I listened to the songs, but the cover arts arent showing up (update: only a very few of them, in the cover art manager I have only like 200, before I had like 1500) :( ... My music partition is now called "MUSIC", on the old install it was called "sdb8", so I changed it back to "sdb8" which looks weird  with the other partitions having a normal name. Is there a way to make it work again by keeping the partition name called "MUSIC"? where shoud I change something in amarok?

thx
Djax

meh... I have an old amarok backup (I think it was a A2 backup tho), when I use this one I got everything fine but the ratings arent showing up at all :(
I edited the collection.db and the ratings are there tho.
When I use the actual "backup" it shows the statistics BUT the song database is messed up, and the song covers are just partially there.
Now I dont know what to do...
Since the ratings are correct in the collection.db WHY doesnt it show up in amarok ?
Please I need help badly :(
