Did you check the permissions of this folder? All the music is on an NTFS drive which is set have 774 permissions when mounted. I double checked and the permissions problem files and working files are the same, and so are the permissions of their parent folders. I also recreated the crash again. In doing some more checks, I think I just discovered the cause of the problem. I just copied some of the music out of the Classical folder into the main music folder (leaving the original behind). I then dragged the folder onto the playlist. All the artist tags were incorrect. Recently I changed the formatting of the artist tags and the genre tags for all my classical music, and the dragged-in playlist was showing the old artist tags. It did not show the new artist tags that were displayed when creating a playlist from Amarok's "Local Music" option in the Media Sources view. I then rescanned the entire collection (Settings > Configure Amarok > Collection > Fully Rescan Entire Collection). The tags of the new folder then corrected themselves to show the new tags, but Amarok crashed when I tried to play the music in order to recreate this bug (I'm guessing an unrelated crash, which would need a separate bug report). I then deleted the copied folder and rescanned the entire collection again. Now everything seems to be back to normal and I am unable to recreate the bug that I reported above i.e. I can download an save album cover art without any problem for the previously problematic files. My best guess is that when I did group tag changes (select group of music with the same artist > Right click > Edit Track Details > Change the common artist tag > Save & Close) from the playlist, Amarok's database got itself into a knot which a full rescan seems to have fixed. The music in the group selection is likely to have had different file formats (mp3 and m4a). This would explain why the problem was localised to the classical music. Thank you for the feedback. I close this bug for now, feel free to reopen it if you can reproduce it. |
