Duplicate files on import

<< < (2/2)

Mastiff:
And I love it when somebody has had the same problem as me before, so I can search and find the solution!  ;D So thanks!

Well, almost a solution. Because I had a problem with some (but not all, for some reason) files being imported without the album name. I got a window saying "Something went wrong with playback. Details: The file could not be found. Check that the filename in the library matches the filename on disk." I saw that the file name in the library was messed up.

My structure is like this (on an USB disk): /media/pi/MP3/Album/"Genre"/"Artist" - "Album"/ "Track number" - "Filename.mp3"
But for a random selection of files it got like this:/media/pi/MP3/Album/"Genre"/"Artist" -/ "Track number" - "Filename.mp3"

I say random because if I import the same genre folder twice the files that were wrong would differ.  But finally, on deleting the library and importing all again I think I have it working. ;D

JimH:
Thanks, Tor.  That's a nice clue.

Mastiff:
I hope you can find something out from it. I have stuff in my Windows library that isn't in any tags and that I would like to get over to the Pi library, only the basic stuff is in tags, like artist, album, genre. But it works now, I have ran the import three times, and on the two last it didn't find any new files.

I think I've already got my import rules fixed, but I'll change the platform and clean up and see what happens.

Thanks!

-edit

Well that worked pretty well, here's what I did:

* Fixed the platform.jmd to say Linux
* Did a rename (update) of "\" with "/"
* Ran an auto-import with fix links set to "Yes"
After that I had only a handful of duplicates which were easily fixed manually.  On top of that the auto import didn't find any new files (unlike previous runs, where it kept finding lots of "new" files).

So I think we're good, thanks again!

I've done step 1, I hope steps 2 and 3 fix it for me.
