After searching all over for the Tools -> Import feature from Beta 3+, I finally found it in Configure Amarok -> Settings -> Import collection.

Attempting to import from my 1.4 collection (in MySQL), however just returns "Failed: No tracks were imported".

I ran amarok --debug and got this output during the procedure:

Code: Select all

Is this because amarok2 automatically scanned the same collection directories when I started it and since the 1.4 collection has the same directories, it finds nothing to import? In that case, that's a serious bug, as it causes all the metadata not to be imported!

How do I get my precious ratings, score, lyrics info etc imported from 1.4?

EDIT: Btw I have tested the mysql credentials etc and they are correct for sure.

EDIT 2: Tried it again and this time amarok crasched. I have all the debuggin symbols installed but still got a useless backtrace. However I got this in stdout:

Code: Select all

amarok: BEGIN: virtual void FastForwardWorker::run()
amarok: BEGIN: QSqlDatabase FastForwardWorker::databaseConnection()
KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...


We have a number of bug reports and known issues with the Importer component. Please see here for a full list of our reports, and then just search for "import":

thanks for the url with the bug tracker.

i've had this problem since several months.... replacing "localhost" with "127.0.0.1" in the import sql dialog did the trick for me !

cheers,
chris

Same issue in this location.
Following was accomplished with 'localhost' as the host name. Whenever i put 127.0.0.1 or system's uname, amarok importer simply 'can't connect to the DB'.

All is going well after i deleted old ~/.kde4 (maybe ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok is sufficient but i didn't try)
Note: it takes ages as i had hundreds of covers in Amarok 1.4

EDIT : all *was* looking good but issues persist at the end of the import: nothing was imported :-(

Here's the end of the log:

Scan all collection and next import from MySQL

Wot?
Have you noticed, that this topic is nearly 4 month old.

m0nk

Yeah, four month old and this annoying bugger is still around. I WANT MY RATINGS BACK! Give me that import!

Oh well,
Steff

Amarok version?
Have you done an initial scan first and imported afterwards?

Oh, hello. Shure: The rocker's version is 2.1.1 in KDE 4.2.2 - an up-to-date kubuntu Jaunty.

Usually I'm tracking the bug here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174269 but it seems there is no cure from this pain up to now...

Cheers
