5.0.0 Alpha1: Music Player not finding all the MP3s

[MorrisJobke]

I have 5 MP3s I use to test ownCloud. I uploaded them to the system and when I double click on any one music file, it will play. BUT if I go to the Music tab, only 1 music file is listed, and it may or may not be the music file I clicked on.

Take this, for example, I clicked on a file that is the Cheers theme and it plays, but I see the Ghostbuster Theme, and can't even find the Peanuts theme in the music list that is also in my root file uploads.

Clicking rescan collection doesn't appear to find the other two files.

@MTRichards Can you reproduce it with recent master or stable5?

@MTRichards: I had the same problem, and got a strange error message from owncloud.log. The error reported owncloud not being able to stat a folder, but the real problem relates (in my case) to the mp3 files not having the correct id3v2 tags. As a minimum, the files need to have the tags "Title", "Album" and "Artist" set.
I use the id3v2 command line program to set these tags. I am sure that someone on the internet has cooked up a script to set these tags using information from the filename.

@manniche what owncloud version you have?

As a minimum, the files need to have the tags "Title", "Album" and "Artist" set.

It isn't no longer required for 5.0.3

5.0 (no patch number) as far as I can tell. OP apparently had 5.0.0-alpha1, so I guess you can most likely close this issue? It's been 2 months since the bugreport.

@manniche if you would like not to upgrade at the moment I'd suggest to update the media app only from 5.0.3 package. It has fixes for the media library scanner.

Thanks. It's not that I will not upgrade. I just posted to let the OP know that there could be a possible workaround for his version of oC, if he just annotated his files with the needed id3v2 tags. I'll upgrade eventually, just not today; I already solved my problem and got my files tagged correctly in the process, so I'm a happy camper.

hey guys, no problem. I am trying to get a few MP3s to test again - I lost my hard drive, and then got distracted. You are probably right, it is a tagging and meta data issue in 5.0.0. I will test again once I find the mp3s again to test with.

@MTRichards: you can just take an arbitrary mp3 file; strip it of its id3v2 tags; upload it; verify that it doesn't show in the "Music" folder; delete it from oC, and repeat the process in reverse.
