Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee 13.2 Duplicate Songs in Library problem

Hi,

I suspect there is a bug in the Import Music algorithm that fails to detect duplicates in certain cases of program operation. In my case, the only operation I enacted that could be blamed would be the fact that I did a second Import Music command but pointed at my rip/ directory where I place new/ripped music...

Anyone else experience this problem with dupes in the library???

No, nothing that the Cleanup plugin couldn't correct. (I haven't tried in 0.13.2, so I don't know about whether it works, etc.)

Cleanup plugin definitely does not work with 13.2. I compiled the latest code and I suspect it just not quite right for 13.2. I had many obvious dupes in my library, including files where the directory was non-existant and the plugin never noticed... maybe a quick tweak of the code for that plugin will help it along...
 

So you're saying that you:
1. Set the Library location in Preferences.

Yes

2. Imported that folder to get your initial library.

Yes

3. Imported your 'rip' directory?

Yes

And I'm curious: do you have your Music Library symlinked to somewhere else? That seems to have caused problems in the past.

No.

And is everything duplicated? Or is there a pattern to what is?

It was actually only a small % of the library... it turns out that the only pattern I could attribute this to.. the only files duped in this whole sequence were ones recently imported from the rip/ directory.. so perhaps this was a case of the Import Music failing to detect dupes... and then when I moved the whole library and re-imported it, those failures were responsible...

At this time.. it seems pretty clean (my library).. so I will monitor how the next few imports go...

I also notice that upon starting Banshee, it complains it could not find NetworkManager which is correct, I use Wicd... but I was wondering if that will cause problems with Music Sharing once I can get Avahi to work again....

Thanks!!


 

Cheers,
Andrew
