Is there someone with a large music library or with a library with a lot
of different file formats that could help me a bit ?
It works in my small 3500 tracks library but I would like to try it
with something larger.
I would like you to test the "Duplicate Detector" plugin which exists
in my testing repository:
Code:
--------------------
http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml
--------------------
You will need the latest Squeezebox Server 7.5 nightly or 7.6 nightly
release, revision 31264 or later.
I would like to to install the plugin and:
1. Goto "Extras/Duplicate Detector" in SBS web interface and start
detection. You need to hit the "Refresh" link to see the current
progress.
2. The default is to detect using the first 10000 audio bytes, if you
don't get any incorrect duplicates reported try decreasing this number
in the Duplicate Detector settings pages and see how low you can go.
3. Look in the server.log and see if you get any strange errors during
the detection.
The plan for this is a lot more than detecting duplicates, this is just
an initial experiment to make sure it's possible to uniquely identify
music files when ignoring tags and just looking at the audio data. The
long term intention is to be able to use this to connect statistics and
metadata to a track and still be able to handle that the file is moved,
renamed or re-tagged.
It won't detect duplicate files if they use different file formats, it
only looks at the audio data and since this differs from FLAC and MP3
version of the same time it won't consider these to be duplicates.
It should consider two files a duplicate if they have the same audio
data but have different tags.
Report back how low/high you had to set the setting without getting any
incorrect duplicates reported.
Also report which operating system you have verified it on and what
kind of music files you have (FLAC, MP3, ...).
The performance difference between 7.5 and 7.6 was very big in my
library, 7.6 was many, many times faster.
