Amarok 2.3.0 is driving me nuts trying to get my collection in there.
I have a TB or so of media spread over my internal HDD and two external USB drives.
First off I ran into the crashing while updating / .m3u bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227599
Deleted all my playlists and that seemed to fix it.
But I still can't get it to pull in my collection properly.
I've rescanned and all it shows me is some of the files on one drive. It says there's a bunch of media in my local collection, but doesn't show any of them, and says there's 0 tracks on two of my drives.
I've cleared ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection* , cleared ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle/*, deleted everything in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/playlists/
Tried using the internal database, mysql, confirmed mysql accessibility, truncated all the mysql tables and started again...
Still borked.
Any ideas?
EDIT: OK, I think I've just figured it out -- it's dumping 75% of my stuff into "Unknown" so it's not reading the tags properly? The last version did just fine, and other programs see the tags OK too. What's different in 2.3.0? Anyone else having the same issue? Mix of mp3, ogg, flac. Mostly tagged just fine. Kind of annoying and it's going to be a lot of work to redo all the tags for a TB of stuff
EDIT2: Beginning to really hate Amarok. It will not remember the stuff on my external drives. It shows local collection 64000 files, most of which are Unknown. Ext drive 1: 0 files. Ext Drive 2: 0 files.
All this, and last night it was showing local collection 64000 files, most of which are Unknown. Ext drive 1: 42000 files. Ext Drive 2: 22000 files.
