Setup JRiver Media Center 21 In Ubuntu/Linux Mint
Awesome Donkey:
What type(s) of audio files are missing? Do they have metadata? Have you setup auto-import to import those type(s) of music files?
frederic20100:
Yes I have set up auto import to import my music mainly Flac files a few MP3. I run the autoimport and it says that about 17 000 files have been imported in the library. during the importation, JR shows covers of some albums (up to 20 covers) and then shows other covers. At the end of the importation, it displays between 4 and 10 covers
Also when I open the library manager, it mentions a library called "main library" and indicates its size : it also varies from 1800 to 5000 files !
The library manager indicates the location of the library: home/frederic/.jriver/... so I tried to have a look at this directory but I cannot find it in home/frederic !!!
as you can see I am not very gifted with computers. By the way, what is metadata ?
Awesome Donkey:
Hmm. Metadata is the ID3 tag data embedded within the files. Is there any present?
Also make sure you have LAME and FLAC installed.
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install lame flac
--- End code ---

I have installed lame and flac but unfortunately nothing has changed. I dont know how to check the metadata inside a flac file but when JR shows an album cover, it also indictates all its song titles, artist, duration, year...
After installing lame and flac, I opened JR and the number of album cover shown changed from 4 to 8 and then 12 and then 17... I thought it would finally display all my album but no ! it came back to only 7 covers and after changing several times it now stay still. At the bottom of the screen, it indicates 123 files (3.7GB - 14:26:30) but it used to indicate up to 1200 files and about 25GB -2 days).

There seems to be an issue in the current build involving the JRWorker that does this parsing.
When the next build comes out will you check to see if that fixes your issue?
