Your Ripped Music Collection - Automated Reporting (coming soon)

[himey]

Ok, getting hang of it. If my tagging is sloppy then the MMH library is sloppy.
I want to start over.
How do I delete all or a single line.
I stopped processing at 288 files, now want to start over.
I basically have three folders in my NAS.
An Atmos Folder, and MQA Folder and then all the rest.
I think I would like to try copying them over one folder at a time rather than the entire NAS.

I simply deleted the 3 db files in the MMH app data folder.

Re running ‘Scan’ deletes all data and starts again from whatever your Source folders are. You can add all three of your folders as 3 separate Music Sources. MMH will scan them all at same time.

No need to delete the db. Just do another Scan

I will hold off on using Mp3tag. That would be great.

I’ll add a new Preference to ‘Extract Embedded Cover Art to a jpg file if Cover file does not exist ‘

EDIT: I added a new option to MMH’s ‘Audio Batch Tools’ in its ‘Check Cover Art…’ to extract cover art from embedded media if cover art file does not exist. If you run that on a Source folder it will recursively find all albums without a cover jpg and attempt to extract the cover to a ‘folder.jpg’ file. Then running the new Music Scan will fetch the cover art from the updated album folders.

You can add more than one Source folder to the Sources.

I haven’t got the Advanced Report working with filters yet. If I do that Yiu can then apply the filter.(Stereo) to the grid then do a Stereo report.

That would certainly be a step forward if multiple libraries aren't an option.

I’ll add a new Preference to ‘Extract Embedded Cover Art to a jpg file if Cover file does not exist ‘

folder.jpg format would be my preference rather than cover.jpg or front cover.jpg. It seems more universal as someone who usually uses Windows.

 

[HomerJAU]

Having thought about the missing cover art and extracting from embedded art. I think I'll add that to the Audio Batch tool. It already has an option to look for Album art (files or Embedded). Best to go there.

I'll do that today.

An updated beta 3 just uploaded that has this change from Bet 2 earlier:

Batch Audio tools: When running option 'Check Cover Art...' a new sub-option added to extract embedded art to 'folder.jpg' file if a cover art file does not exist. @himey

Beta 2 version with fixes to column widths

Can you add the track total to the same fix? It seems to get lost in the view with the other numbers.

 

[HomerJAU]

I thought I had. Have you tried Beta3?

 

[himey]

I thought I had. Have you tried Beta3?

Yes. DR looks great.

 

[HomerJAU]

I’ll check ‘Tracks’ later today. Heading out for a couple of hours shortly.

 

[himey]

Other observations, when you remove a music source it shows back up after deletion on restart.

DR on the Advanced Report becomes redundant because there is already a fixed DR. It shows as DR DR12 for example.

 

[himey]

If you remove all the sources, then re-add, I haven't seen the issue I saw when I just removed sources.

A new Beta 4 version just uploaded (same link as previous, this fixes a few things reported here and has updated reports for Music and Music Videos:

Grid widths fixed from Tracks (No. of Tracks).
DR displayed correctly in Music new report

CUE file tracks shown without the source media file name (just the track name now) - See Creedence at bottom of this Concert/Music Video Report, but now same for Music (Audio) CUE files.

A new Beta 6 version just uploaded:

https://reva.blob.core.windows.net/mmh8/ReportingBeta/MMHInstaller.msi

Changes since last beta release:
Scanning crashed with error if an album cover image file was corrupted
Music Report now correctly sorted by Artist, Album, Year
Updated to UI Controls to 24.1.8
Music and Concert/Music Video Reports can now be filtered (whatever filter is active in the File Manager grid when Report is initiated is applied to the Report (e.g. 'Codec Contains 'Atmos' reports only Atmos albums)
Beta 6 creates a track list in the Report for max 100 tracks then stops with '... more tracks not listed'. Hopefully that fixes the crash**

** A tester has found the scan crashes when saving data to the database with a dataset of 10TB (15,820 albums/folders). I think its related to the No. of Tracks. One album has 265 tracks and MMH creates a single string for the report concatenating 265 song titles into a single string for the Report. So now reduced to 100 track titles only.

One more update (same link as previous post):

Fixes crash if an album folder contains only Wavpack files with .wv file extension (it was a typo by me )

I think this is the fix for the test user with 15,000 album folders? (It was crashing on .wv files not huge number of album files)

Show album tracks working great. Album tracks # are pinned to the right of the column and has no space between column to the right of it.
Advanced Report DR, looks much cleaner now.

You should be able to make it a little wider now, but maybe it needs more. I asked you what your screen text size was set to, but you didn’t answer. I can’t replicate your view without knowing.

You guessed correctly so I didn't follow up. 150 on my Windows 11 machine. I can't get any space at all between the track # and the next column.
