I posted a similar experience in the other genpuid thread here. genpuid binaries for linux and macos seem to be having major issues.
If you have access to a windows machine, try using the windows version of genpuid. It is working for me--with several quirks. 1. If I use it to scan a single file it usually fetches the analysis off the server and the PUID to go along with it (assuming those tracks have had their analysis previously done and stored on the server). 2. If I use it to scan a single album, consisting of, say 10-15 tracks, it sometimes retrieves analysis for all tracks, sometimes just a few. The rest it performs local analysis on. 3. If I use it to scan a huge folder full of albums (with the -r flag) it may retrieve analysis on a couple of songs from the entire group, and analyzes everything else locally. Makes me wonder if it is experiencing DDOS attacks or they've throttled it somehow to drop larger queries. Haven't figured it out yet. But at a minimum the windows version of genpuid at least doesn't hang like the linux and mac versions do. I find genpuid better to use than the full Mixer app because I can specify multiple threads and make use of all my processor's cores--which saves a tremendous amount of time considering it's performing local analysis on just about everything. Keep in mind if MusicIP/Gracenote ever takes the server completely down then genpuid will cease to work (the very first thing it does when you run it is check to see that the server is up and running. It's more sophisticated than a simple ping, but not sure. Someone more experienced than I should wireshark it and see what can be discovered in the communications exchanged back and forth. Perhaps the server could be spoofed somehow. I am scanning all FLACs, by the way, so 99.9% of my files are larger than 8MB. -- bookemdano ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bookemdano's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91499 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
