hello all
The ghost is back....sig
Sorry to do this, but i believe i am either cursed, unlucky or plain stupid.
From the post above I had completed phase 1 and was happy as a clam because as i mentioned no duplicates, no gibberish no matter how many times i updated the library.
Since then, I went through the remainder of the library and checked if i or MB missed anything from the first pass.
There were leftovers
I started running them through MB and for the most of them I saves then once tagged. and added them to the development share. Certain of these files were salvageable most I deleted. Once this was done I had 3431 records in Music+songs. all was fine with the world.
Yesterday I started to rip the CDs for the artist i previously deleted. I run the cds through MB and again saved them. i was upto 3832 records
I was tired and fed up with this task last night but after dinner I decided to rip 2 more cds.
The beach boys pet sound and still cruisin.
I loaded the songs in MB and MB automatically suggested 3 albums in the right column. Pert sound. Pet sound and still cruisin. Yes it did show 2 pet sounds . In one of the It had God only Knows as a green rectangle and the rest all had music notes. In the other pet sound it had all the rest of the songs with green rectangles and God only knows with a music note. So I dragged God only knows from the first pet sound to the second pet sound. At this point the first pet sound had all the songs with music notes so I deleted it and the second had all the songs including god only knows with green rectangles. Hence I saved the complete pet sound and the still cruisin albums to my musicbrains share.
I Updated Kodi music and it showed 3897 tracks I updated kodi once again (without adding, deleting, or playing anything), The result was I now had 4224 tracks. Sig
I looked at the beach boys folder in kodi and I saw that it had 4 albums. (one track on one album was from an other compilation) and the it had a pet sound album with god only knows, a second pet sound album with the rest of the songs and still cruisin album with no songs. I checked my drive and it only had 2 the 2 albums. I searched in explorer the the group and it showed the 2 albums. I looked at other artists i loaded during the day and I saw the same situation with the beatles folder.
Frustrated i gave up and went to bed.
This morning
I opened kodi and cleared the music library. When I checked the artist view, the artist were this there. I proceeded to remove the share from the music library
- I deleted the 2 artist folder from my drive
- i uninstalled kodi including user settings
- Re installed Kodi and turned on log function
- added the share drive to the music library it now showed 3832 tracks in the song view
- I ran the update library again and now the song view shows 4193
I am going through the artists view and looking at all artist with the same issue
Other artists are
america
- Andrew Gold
- Andy Williams
- The Animals
- Annie Lennox
I ran these through MB again and they all seemed fine to me. So i do not understad why these duplicated occur. I suppose that all taggin is correct therfore why would this be happening
I ran all my music through MB as i learned, however i do not understand why this is happening just o some of them . Maybe i am too fastidious and therefore pedant with this because i love my music, maybe i should look a less complicated environment. Not all artist have this issue.
Once more thank you for your time allocated to me
Here i include the log file and the mymusic72 db
