Duplicate entries each time autoimport runs

(1/7) > >>

hells:
Hey all! I tried searching about importing, but it brings up results from ~2002, so thought I'd post a thread.

My issue is setting up autoimport works great the first time, but it seems as it automatically does its thing, the media starts duplicating. We're talking identical paths (local not remote shares) filenames, etc. It just keeps accumulating entries. Every album will get the same number of additional duplicates too. So each run is 1 duplicate track for every track on every album.

Is there some knob I missed to stop this? I have fix broken links on "yes" just in case that was the issue, but alas not solving the problem.

Thanks!

EDIT: Perhaps this should be moved to the Linux forum. At first I assumed it was my Windows client possibly creating these entries, but my docker container that hosts the server is actually creating 20 or more copies for every track in my library, on every import. I'm not sure if server mode is important in this, but that's all it is functioning as.

Hi,

I'm replying to this topic because I get the (almost) same problem.
Maybe Hells you finally managed to find a solution to that ?

I'm running MC27 on a Linux Ubuntu 20 PC, wich I use as a server.

Each time I run MC, it will import again the same file (exact same path, exact same file). What is weird in my situation is that only few albums (always the same) are re-imported. They are the 6 or 7 last imported music albums.

If you have any idea on how to solve this weird behavior, I'll be happy to hear it :)

Unfortunately I did not, I tried many things.

It may be due to permissions or something weird with mtime/atime and docker, but I couldn't figure it out.

zybex:
Can you please post the full path to one of the affected files? Perhaps it includes a reserved character that MC is replacing on import.

Cmely:
\var\snap\nextcloud\common\nextcloud\data\imserveur\files\Musique\Divers\Leprous\Pitfalls (Album)\01 Below.flac

At first, I thought it was because of "/" or "\" character, so re did the import and the "search and replace" carrefully for a correct path. But it didn't change anything.

Like Hells, I suspect a weird problem of permissions...but I can't figure out what. Albums and files that are re-imported have the same permissions (to my knowledge, I'm not a great Linux user) than other albums that are not re-imported  :o :o :o
