but either way i do have a mix of audio files and regardless of the filetype support it should still scan some of the files from the container
2007-10-24 29754, 2007
luks
it tries to open only supported files
2007-10-24 29712, 2007
luks
so again "does it list .mp3 as a supported format?"
2007-10-24 29716, 2007
notchamunks
yup and it doesent find the supported files either
2007-10-24 29722, 2007
notchamunks
No it does not thanks luks
2007-10-24 29733, 2007
luks
sudo apt-get install libtunepimp5-mp3
2007-10-24 29723, 2007
notchamunks
so that should give me the mp3 support
2007-10-24 29742, 2007
notchamunks
so if it still doesent scan recursively into the directory's than what?
2007-10-24 29754, 2007
luks
it should
2007-10-24 29704, 2007
notchamunks
checking
2007-10-24 29722, 2007

notchamunks, Picard doesn't like bad UTF-8 in files & dirs (if you're using UTF8, of course...)
2007-10-24 29721, 2007
luks
(if you are not using UTF8 :))
2007-10-24 29727, 2007

bad UTF8 is not UTF8

I've been doing puid submissions via your script, then double checking for any that get skipped ("No MB ID", etc) by loading into picard and re-scanning, then checking on the ones that don't get a positive puid match from the site.
2007-10-24 29745, 2007
luks sees "puid" and hides

nothing to actually do with puids
2007-10-24 29715, 2007
notchamunks
and im at least trying to select the whole artist to avoid having to go album by album and it wont give me a selection of files
2007-10-24 29717, 2007
brianfreud
I found that some small number did have puids, had identical tags to the site, yet at 75% puid similarity, they weren't finding matches at MB.
2007-10-24 29740, 2007
notchamunks
symphonick, i dont think i would have bad utf-8
2007-10-24 29753, 2007
l8nite
personally, if picard doesn't find something on the first try I just rm -rf it
2007-10-24 29754, 2007
luks
brianfreud, there is no such thing as puid similarity
2007-10-24 29756, 2007

symphonick, this library was previously organized by itunes but i have no luck with itunes and this size of a library
2007-10-24 29718, 2007
brianfreud
Seems that if a file has a decently long name, 50+ characters, and it has a : in the trackname tag, even when there's a puid match, and the tags are identical (as in just tagged from MB), at 75% on puid, they don't match.
2007-10-24 29730, 2007
brianfreud
Had to drop it down to 50% to get it to match up...
2007-10-24 29740, 2007
brianfreud
figured maybe something was funky in your similarity % routine
2007-10-24 29742, 2007
luks
oh, in picard?
2007-10-24 29746, 2007
brianfreud
yes
2007-10-24 29732, 2007
brianfreud
100% identical tag, with puid match, but no match found at 75% (ie, similarity ought to have been calculated to be 100%, was only calculating to 50%)

notchamunks, adding the files one by one works?

luks, if i add the files album by album yes
2007-10-24 29730, 2007
luks
hm, that's weird
2007-10-24 29740, 2007
brianfreud
I found it on 50 or so out of 3500 files - every single instance it was if a) tracktitle length was 50+ chars, and b) tracktitle contained : ... and only those cases.
2007-10-24 29701, 2007
luks
it could be a search server issue
2007-10-24 29707, 2007
brianfreud
oh?
2007-10-24 29711, 2007

so basically from /audiolibrary/artists/albums/tracknames.filetype i can add /specificalbum/tracksinalbumfolder
2007-10-24 29722, 2007
brianfreud
why would dropping similarity in picard down to 50% from 75% get a positive match then?
2007-10-24 29738, 2007
luks
ah, so it finds a match if you lower it
2007-10-24 29739, 2007
brianfreud
figured it had something to do with how picard calculates puid similarity
2007-10-24 29742, 2007
brianfreud
yes
2007-10-24 29755, 2007
brianfreud
no match at anything higher than 50% - but at 50%, it suddenly works
2007-10-24 29744, 2007
luks
if you can ticketit and send me mail with the file and the bug number, I will look at it later

drag and drop, "add folder", etc?
2007-10-24 29710, 2007
luks
I'd recommend you do try picardqt, but I don't have a gusty repo
brianfreud, the top left file tree panel im selecting the directory and its not scanning at all but it doesent work if i do it pretty much any other way but i could try them one more time jsut to be 100$
2007-10-24 29702, 2007
notchamunks
i mean 100%
2007-10-24 29723, 2007

sorry, thought you were running picardqt, not picard

notchamunks, wait a moment
2007-10-24 29710, 2007
luks
what do you mean by "scanning"?
2007-10-24 29745, 2007
luks
you should be able to just drag&drop the directory
2007-10-24 29756, 2007
luks
without having files in the left lower panel
2007-10-24 29717, 2007
notchamunks
its not finding the files within the containing directory structure if theres more than one level of directories
2007-10-24 29734, 2007
notchamunks
i didnt mean to get it confused with scanning the tags
2007-10-24 29753, 2007
luks
still not sure what exactly is "finding the files"
2007-10-24 29712, 2007
luks
you find a directory in the left top panel, right?
2007-10-24 29725, 2007
luks
then you click on it and expect it to list all files in the left bottom panel?
2007-10-24 29732, 2007
notchamunks
yep
2007-10-24 29756, 2007

ok, then don't :)
2007-10-24 29759, 2007

lol so your saying its not supposed to than?
2007-10-24 29732, 2007

just take the directory from the left top panel, and drag it to "New Files ..." or whether it's called in 0.7

yeah, ubuntu has "no mp3 in main" policy
