Title: Tagging network files from one PC - no tags shown on other PCS
Post by: psam on February 10, 2014, 02:35:49 pm

I keep all my media on NAS folders, accessible from PCs/tablets etc.
I am keeping two individual libraries on two different PCs instead of going for the client/server approach.
When I tag a track from one PC , the ratings field specifically, the track tagging is not updated on the other PC even when I force an auto import on that one ...
Why is this?

Do you have Tag writing enabled in MC and in auto-import, as well as Update for external changes in auto-import?

Yes I do. I am not having problems with all tag fields. Renaming the Artist or Album from one PC goes through and when the second PC Auto Imports the new tags show just fine. I notice the problem only when I am adding Ratings on tracks.
If I tag ratings to selected tracks say by Tony Jow White from one PC, when I am trying to select these tracks and put them in a playlist on the other PC the tagsa are not there....

I find that ratings update in both directions.  It can take about 2 minutes for the push to occur, so test a rating change on one side, wait a few minutes, and then move the mouse over the item on the other side (row updates occur on view refreshes or mouse-overs).
