Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux This is really strange... The Track Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush, if inside the folder Orlovich 4, is not added to the collection, on a brand new database... Other file from the folder is added of course, and if I move the track in another folder is than added! So started logging from mysql and ... INSERT INTO urls (deviceid,rpath,directory,uniqueid) VALUES (3,'./mp3/Orlovich/Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights.mp3',827,'amarok-sqltrackuid://file:///mnt/dati/mp3/Orlovich%204/Kate%20Bush%20-%20Wuthering%20Heights.mp3') Wait What ? amarok-sqltrackuid: is normally a amarok-sqltrackuid://99e76cace2a31b6475b46d35941057d8 amarok-sqltrackuid://6533c249830f37a704debc8f311ba519 amarok-sqltrackuid://e63dd71e4311a7440988b06c8e29cdda amarok-sqltrackuid://e7684da464dbf8e3f8b87656a621e261 amarok-sqltrackuid://08051b461dd21f5800c0d4d07ab3a953 How can i track why this is happening, the sqltrackuid NOT calculated Because now the track is loaded.. after some try... amarok --debug is not giving any useful information... Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: Dunno in your computer... I've also renamed the folder, it happens again!!! Dropped the DB some times, and recreated... maybe 30% chance ... Actual Results: sqltrackuid is NOT computed the file path is added Expected Results: sqltrackuid is computed like the other 6780 tracks Uhm ... The folder is on a software raid 1...
Hi Roy, the unique id is not always computed. If the track already has a unique id tag then that one will be used. That is why you get a //file:///mnt/dati/mp3/Orlovich%204/Kate%20Bush%20-%20Wuthering%20Heights.mp3 That id won't change if you move the file around (which is kind of the idea with unique ids :) Next you might run into the problem that currently Amarok is rejecting tracks with duplicate IDs. If you have another track with the same unique id then Amarok will just forget about your song. I am assuming that you have this problem. Another "Wuthering Heights" somewhere. Now depending on the order that the folders are scanned one of your songs is the first and the other will be skipped. If you move the tracks around that might happen (that is your 30% chance) There is a tool called amarok_afttagger that you can call to re-tag your song. It might help.
Also why would you use such an old Amarok version? Please upgrade to Amarok 2.4.3 or 2.5, your version is quite outdated.
Closing for lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen this report if the bug persists with Amarok 2.5 or later and you can provide the necessary feedback.
