is this the only album with the problem?

if you open one of the tracks that doesn't show in the collection using Dolphin -> right click -> open with -> Amarok does it play?

if you create a new user and as that user start Amamrok and have that album be the entire collection does the full album show?

using a different player (sMplayer, VLC, whatever) is the entire album seen and playable?

No, It was For example, there is some more album with the problem.

if you open one of the tracks that doesn't show in the collection using Dolphin -> right click -> open with -> Amarok does it play?

Yes it dose

if you create a new user and as that user start Amamrok and have that album be the entire collection does the full album show?

I Didn't try

using a different player (sMplayer, VLC, whatever) is the entire album seen and playable?

yes.

I found a new fact:
1. when i limit albums, there is no problem and it will show all tracks, and plays every thing, but for my whole Music archive, Amarok behave like that.

Duplicate tracks.

I just assume that you have tracks with the same Name/Album/Artist in your collection.
You will see errors on the command line when importing the tracks and Amarok should also display a warning.

This is a confusing behavior of Amarok which we will probably change in the future.
You might want to vote for the bug report:

Amarok displays a warning like that:

Code: Select all
Track XXXXX with uid amarok-sqltrackuid://XXXX already committed. There seems to be a duplicate uid.


But I have Nothing Duplicated. My Whole Music Archive is Fully Tagged And I Checked Them For Duplicates.

are you using internal or external database?

is this a new occurance?

consider closing Amarok and renaming ~/.kde[4]/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde[4]/share/config/amarokrc then restarting, reconfiguring and rescanning your collection OR as a different user use your your directory as their collection to see if it still occurs as a diff user

I use internal db.

I didn't have this problem on Previous versions of Amarok.

consider closing Amarok and renaming ~/.kde[4]/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde[4]/share/config/amarokrc then restarting, reconfiguring and rescanning your collection OR as a different user use your your directory as their collection to see if it still occurs as a diff user


I did remove amarok db and configurations, but nothing changed.

Well, I don't think this is leading anywhere. Please see what rengels wrote, he is the maintainer of this code and it will most likely change in the future.


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 ...

Ok,
in this case Amarok might just think that they are duplicates because of the uids.
There is an application called amarok_afttagger which re-creates the uids. That helps in most cases.

It's easier if you can figure out which two tracks have the same ID.
If you have some time you can use the amarok_collectionscanner and then search in the results for the UIDs.

Downgrading will NOT help.

After reconfigure Amarok db, I figured that there is bunch of duplicated files, with difference qualities, is there any way tho find and remove smaller ones automatically?
