Hi all,
Sorry to bump a fairly old thread but I wanted to see if anyone else
has been having problems with genpuid lately. I recently finished
re-ripping my entire CD collection to FLAC, and of course I want to get
all the MusicIP magic embedded in the tags so I can enjoy SugarCube.
Last year I went through this process on my old mp3 library... as I
recall it fingerprinted everything and then the (very) few tracks that
didn't have corresponding PUIDs it analyzed at the end.
I ran it two nights ago on a 311 album and it finished very quickly.
Looking through the tags I see a MUSICIP_PUID tag for every track, so
it seemed to work then.
But so far all day yesterday and today when I run it on an album it
fingerprints everything and then after it's done with the last
fingerprint I see this entry in the log file:
Code:
--------------------
Error communicating with server (2) : -1
--------------------
And then it starts analysis. After the first track's analysis is done I
see the same error message logged again:
Code:
--------------------
Error communicating with server (2) : -1
--------------------
and then it proceeds to analyze every single track. In the end no
tracks contain the MUSICIP_PUID track but they all contain the
ANALYSIS, FINGERPRINT, and MUSICIP_DATA tags.
So can any of you MusicIP gurus (hoping there are a few of you still
around) tell me does that error message simply mean the MusicIP server
is down? Or is it rejecting my DNS key? I've been using the same DNS
key since last year and never had a problem with it but after doing
some research I see that Gracenote recently bought out
MusicIP/Amplifind/MusicDNS/whatever's assets and is shutting the
service down. Does anyone know if that's already happened?
I think it's unlikely that it's totally shut down, because as I said I
ran genpuid on a single album two nights ago and every track now has a
MUSICIP_PUID tag. Which makes me wonder if they've just disabled my DNS
key.
Anyone know the hostname or IP of the MusicIP server? Would anyone mind
testing genpuid to see if you get the same "Error communicating with
server (2): -1" message in the log?
For the record I am using genpuid 1.4 on windows. I tried using the
linux and macos binaries first but in both cases genpuid would hang
after a certain amount of time in the analyzing stage.
I know I can complete this process even if MusicIP's servers are
down--I'm just wanting to see if people can confirm the service is
actually down or if it's rejecting my DNS key.
Oh, and one last question, anyone know if there's any rhyme or reason
to the order that genpuid processes tracks? In my log files it seems to
pick files in the given folder in totally random order. For instance all
my tracks start with a two digit track number, so if genpuid was going
alphabetically they'd go in numeric order. Instead I am seeing 12, 10,
04, 03, 07, etc. in the logs.
Thanks for any replies.
