Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, trying it on Windows has the same effect. It can scan some files, but it gets stuck on others. I've done more testing, and here's what I've found.
First, the problem is with specific files, not with analyzing in general. In other words, if I take an album of files and scan file by file, some files will be analyzed appropriately (doing local analysis) others will not. It is always the same files that don't get analyzed. In other words, if I copy a clean version of the files and try to re-analyze them, the ones that could be analyzed previously can again be analyzed again; the ones that previously failed will still fail. Second, I've now tried this on my main Arch system, an Ubuntu 11.04 system, my previous Ubuntu 10.04 system that has always worked, and on a Windows XP system. I've also tried both genpuid and the MusicIP interface (from the headless server). The problem is exactly the same. All these systems will scan some files, but the files that don't get analyzed on one system also never get analyzed on the other. The way it fails is exactly the same: The log file says that the file is fingerprinted, and then for files that can't be analyzed, mipcore just disappears from the process list. I don't get the "analyzing" line in the log file for those files. In other words, if I analyze three files successfully and then it hits one that fails, the log will state "analyzing" and then "analyzed" for the first three songs, and then the log just ends with no other message and no note that it is analyzing the fourth song. I checked, and this problem occurs for files that have successfully been tagged in the past. I copy a clean file (with no MusicIP tags) and only some can be analyzed. So it is not some change that Amazon did with their new files they are distributing. I have also tried copying my mp3 files to flac, just to check. Files that can be analyzed as mp3s can also be analyzed as flac; files that cannot be analyzed as mp3s also cannot be analyzed as flac. So it is clearly not file size, as all are much larger as flacs; but it is the case that the longer songs tend not to be analyzed, and short songs are almost always analyzed. I've tried removing all tags before analyzing (don't think that should matter) and the problem persists. I'm stuck and don't know what else to try! -- slamhound ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slamhound's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19473 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91499 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
