As my wife says, I'm obsessed, so I spent a "little while" last
night until I came up with what seems like a successful brute
force method for finding the problem for our missing music under
6.51.
Our music is already divided into a hierarchy ("his" vs. "hers"
and then by genre), so I just browsed into the music folders and
hit "Play" on each one and watched the log until I found errors.
The goal was to effectively "add" the tracks until I figured out
where it died.
Note: running the global scan and using d_scan still didn't
produce any output (except to note that it started). It only
works as I add directories. Am I missing something?
After a while, I finally found a track (Therion:Vovin:Draconian
Trilogy, for those keeping score) whose tags were clearly
causing a problem. Not only would all my other CLI tag tools
barf upon trying to read/open it, but trying to add it three
times in succession while working on it caused mysql to crash!
Finally, I decided just to remove it and...bing! I haven't done
a full rescan, but it looks like ALL our music is there.
And - ironically - the album art works now. It makes me wonder
if the folks who are missing album are also missing tracks and
don't realize it?
This method, while gross, may make it possible for some folks to
track down the offending file(s).
