Bugzilla – Bug 14542
Scanner misses new albums & wrong artist information
Last modified: 2009-10-02 20:56:31 UTC
Added a new album and rescanned for new and changed files. Upon completion the album did not show in the "new albums" section nor anywhere else. Even after drilling via the "music folder" it did not add this album. I tried to clear the database and scan all over again. This time the album appeared however it had bad tag information. For example the artist was "no artist,Little Walter" instead of "Little Walter". Other older albums also had bad tag information and some even seemed to have tags from different unrelated albums all mixed together. I ended up removing version 7.4 and installing version 7.3.4, rescanned from scratch and everything is good now. It seems that the 7.4 scanner has major issues.
Please include a Scanner Log file as well as example files that do not work
Please close the bug report for now. I ended up reinstalling version 7.4 and rescanned my whole library and it seems to be OK now. The only difference between what I did this time and last time is that previously I removed the old (beta) version first and then installed 7.4 while this time around I just reinstalled version 7.4 over version 7.3.4 (upgraded). I am not sure what happened before but it was really weird, as if the DB was corrupt.
