Amarok 2.2.0
Suse 11.1
KDE 4.3.3

Hello, since Amarok 2 i have the problem that, let's say every 3rd time i open amarok my collection is gone It is extremly frustrating to rescan the collection every time... i tried everything... first i used a local collection on my clients over nfs. Then i changed to mysql over NFS -> the same. I don't think that NFS could be a problem, but because of mysql i was able to put amarok on the computer where the collection is, so i have no NFS, but -> the same

When the collection is gone he says: 0 titles, or 1 title or so out of 22.000 is left in the collection. And he does nothing... this stays the same until i check off all folders in the collection, say ok, check them again and then he rescans... Arg, this is frustrating.

Here i have now a funny thing (ok, not so funny because also frustrating). On the clients i put off "looking for changes" that he only uses the collection from the server. Now on the server the collection is gone again (he says 0 titles) but on the clients, where i have exactly the same mysql collection all titles are there...

I don't think that my 22.000 titles are to much for amarok? What can i do? Should i create a bug report? But i have no error messages for this?

It's really frustrating, because i loved Amarok, but this way it gets useless for me.

I am happy for all tips.

Thanks

No, you're right, that's definitely not normal. I can only assume that something is wrong with your MySQL build (MySQL Embedded is used by default).

Here's one tip: Since 2.2.0 Amarok also supports an external MySQL server. Try using that.

From your report it's a bit unclear whether you are using it or not. Local collection, local server, these are different things.

Thanks for answer!

I use mysql 5.0.67 from opensuse 11.1 repository. I run a lot of different things, also own scripts and a much bigger database and had no problem until now in several month with this version.

I have tried both. Perhaps i must be a little clearer:

Two computers: "server1", "client1"

1. Try:

"MySQL Embedded" with Amarok on "client1"
Files on "server1" and share over NFS

2. Try:

"Mysql" with Amarok on "client1" and looking for changes _enabled_
"Mysql" database on "server1"
Files on "server1" and share over NFS

3. Try

"Mysql" with Amarok on "client1" but looking for changes _disabled_
"Mysql" with Amarok on "server1" but looking for changes _enabled_
"Mysql" database on "server1"
Files on "server1"

In every case i have the same effect like i wrote.

I forgot to say: Its wrong that i have 0 titles in collection... i have always exactly 1 title in my collection when the collection is gone.

First thing I did on openSUSE 11.1 was updating MySQL to 5.1.36 from the server:database repo.
5.0 doesn't really work.
