Hi all,
I'm fairly happy with EMMS, but it seems I misunderstand some of the basics. A
typical usecase, I'd like to add some new music to the cache so I can see it
in the browser; to do this, I have a function
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun djcb-emms-update-cache()
"update the EMM-cache by (re)scanning all new/updated files
under `emms-source-file-default-directory'"
(interactive)
(with-temp-buffer
;; get a list of new/updated files
(shell-command (concat
"find " emms-source-file-default-directory
" -type f -a -newer " emms-cache-file))
(let ((count 0))
(apply (lambda (fname)
(message "update %s" fname)
(emms-add-file fname)
(setq count (+ 1 count)))
(split-string (buffer-string) "[\n\r]+"))
(emms-cache-dirty)
(emms-cache-save)
(message "EMMS-cache: updated %d file(s)" count))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, this seems not to work for some reason -- I can see newly added files
under 'misc/misc' (it seems for some reason the metadata is not recognized);
and for many of the files, when I start playing them (C-j), I get an error
like:
emms-player-start: Don't know how to play track: (*track* (type . playlist)
(name . "/home/djcb/Music/foo/bar/cuux.mp3") (metadata))
I.e, emms sees it as playlist, not as a file. I probably misunderstand
something, can someone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance,
Dirk.
