Hi

After erasing .kde4 files :
Building collection is stuck at 93%

What shall i do to be sure it is builded properly ?

Thanks

> amarok --version
Qt : 4.7.0
Plate-forme de développement de KDE : 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2)
Amarok : 2.3.2

Try running the amarokcollectionscanner in -r mode, to identify an eventual faulty file.

Hello

Here's an example of what i've got (total count is 12 ) .
It seems like some files are disturbing the process, but what can i do now with them ?

amarokcollectionscanner /stockage1/musique/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><scanner><folder path="/stockage1/musique/"/>

<itemcount count="1"/>

<tags title="Shotgun" compilation="checkforvarious" bitrate="128" uniqueid="amarok-sqltrackuid://8bcc8e1850269f8575180fcf28a993aa" filetype="1" track="5" artist="Jr. Walker And The All Stars" path="/stockage1/musique/05.Jr. Walker &amp; The All Stars - Shotgun.mp3" filesize="2891528" length="181000" samplerate="44100" album="Soul ! - The Very Best Of Motown CD1" comment="" genre="Other" year="0" audioproperties="true"/>

Try retagging it with easytag or kid3, maybe that helps. MusicBrainz tagger Picard adds some strange tags that are not respecting the standard, that could also be a problem.

1s track i can't access it in easytag, i'll erase it

then i have plenty of tracks but no result : how come ? :

Code: Select all


$  amarokcollectionscanner /stockage2/musique/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><scanner><folder path="/stockage2/musique/"/>

Looks like you forgot the -r option that time.

I can't really follow what the symptoms are, but chances are your problem will be fixed with this patch to 2.3.2:

http://gitweb.kde.org/amarok.git/commit ... 9e37892638

plus this follow-up patch:

http://gitweb.kde.org/amarok.git/blobdi ... canner.cpp

If it works for you, please ask your package maintainer to push out a package with those patches.

Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry, i forgot the -r you're right,


strangely now i have so many files that i'd need 2 lifes to be able to retag them ...
I guess adding files directly in amarok is not a bad solution

I therefore tried to add bad tagged files in a file and now there's an error somewhere :

if i try ~> amarokcollectionscanner -r /stockage1/musique/ >musique1

i have this TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the frame type TDAT. It will be discarded from the tag.
TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the frame type TDAT. It will be discarded from the tag.
TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.

I understand you gave patches but i don't know how to add them to amarok.

Hi,

Those warnings you got should be harmless.

If you don't know how to apply patches, see if there is a nightly snapshot of Amarok for your distribution.

Unfortunately, I can't really help you more than that at the moment. Your problem is likely solved in code, so you either need to acquire a snapshot of Amarok from git or you need to convince your distro's Amarok package maintainer to issue a new package version of 2.3.2 with both of those patches.
