[PROBLEM] 2 moOde systems, same config, same music source, different songs counts

[zazouboy]

Hi there!

Many thanks to all for your feedbacks and suggestions.
mp3tag is a good one indeed.
Will test Easytag as well as it seems easy to handle.
I tested kid3 on Mac which seems pretty good as well.

I did some clean up, played som albums and saw that one system showed duplicate tracks in an album while the other did not...

I reinstalled moOde on the one showing duplicate tracks, and ended with 400 tracks less !

So I guess there were remnants from the numerous database regenerations I did...

Have a nice day !

Kind regards,
Renaud

Florian from MP3tag is offering a early ALPHA version for MAC since a week or so - Worth a try, I'd say.

By how much do the song counts differ?

You can try the command below to see what MPD thinks.

Code:

mpc stats

Both count 501 albums.
One shows 7477 tracks, 499 hours, 58 mins
mpc stats
Artists:   1463
Albums:     511
Songs:     7477

The other one 7021 tracks, 467 hours, 41 mins
mpc stats
Artists:   1463
Albums:     498
Songs:     7021

Even weirder !

In my case - all running 6.5.2, and following a "library update" followed by "regenerate album cover thumbnail cache" on each system.

Two RPi 3B based systems show

Library Tag screen: 30868 tracks, 2488 hours, 8 mins
Library Config Screen: 3267 albums processed
mpc stats
Artists:   1346
Albums:    3221
Songs:    30868


but the AlloUSBSig/DigiOneSig shows

Library Tag screen: 30857 tracks, 2487 hours, 12 mins
Library Config Screen: 3267 albums processed
mpc stats

Artists:   1346
Albums:    3221
Songs:    30857

I've started a another full library regeneration on the Allo system...we'll see what happens

Edit: regenerated library on both the Allo and one of the RPis. Results are unchanged

<snip> The latest version even resizes embedded cover art.

Buqqer!!!!!!!

I've just spent the last week cleaning up and resizing all my album covers, by hand........ in Photoshop and Mp3tag v3.0.0.

3.0.1 would certainly have saved me a few beers!

The thumbnail generator counts the number of album directories processed. MPC is counting the number of unique album tags and this count can be an undercount as explained in this thread http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.p...1#pid19311

As far as the diff in tracks try Clearing the Library tag cache. Its a button on Library Config.

Tried that (cleared all three units).......no change.

Can't say I've overly worried, but more curious.

[TheOldPresbyope]

What I don't see here is any statement about possible tracks on the SDCARD or local USB drives. MPD counts them too and not just the tracks on the common NAS.

If you were really curious you could start both systems with their MPD logs cleared, then tell each one to regenerate its library. Compare the (30+K, yikes) update lines in the two logs when done. You'd probably want to write a script to automate the comparison

In my case, there are no USB sticks, and the only file listed in Library/Sdcard (all three) is the Stereo Test file. I wondered about wired or wireless, but one of the two RPi3 (which give identical stats) is wired and the other wireless; the Allo is wired.

I think I’ll pass on the pleasure of comparing 30k lines of log files .........we’re enjoying some fine weather on the South Coast of the UK and it’s forecast to continue for the rest of the week, so  I have been directed to “pot on” some more tomato plants and walk the cat around the garden.

[Tim Curtis]

lol, keep an eye on that cat.

Most unusual
 
Hopefully @CallMeMike can confirm this...

Big thumbs up !!

walk the cat around the garden

Hmmm.... those two items are mutually exclusive here.... however Dog and Rat do go together very well!! 
Particularly around the compost bins...
