Re: [mythtv-users] mythmusic not resolving cd information

art as you RIP a CD. I have way too many albums already ripped so
this wasn't going to work for me.
So I wrote a little script to use in concert with Paul's amazon.pl
script. Now I can use the AlbumArt visualization and see most of my
collection. I'm posting it here in case anyone's in the same boat as
me. The script assumes you have your music organized by musicroot/
artist/album. It will also detect when album art can't be found and
skips it if it runs across the album name again during the same run
(in the event that you have albums with many artists on a single
album and you're strictly organizing by artist/album). It's also
smart enough to skip an album if the art is already there (from a
previous run). Feel free to mod as needed.
Make sure amazon.pl is in your path, then pass your music directory
root as an argument to this script (e.g. ./albumart.pl /mythtv/music/):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $musicdir = shift || die( "Specify the music directory root\n" );
$musicdir =~ s/\/$//g;
my @albumsnoart;
opendir MYDIR, $musicdir || die( "Couldn't open $musicdir\n" );
my @artists = grep !/^\.\.?$/, readdir MYDIR;
closedir MYDIR;
foreach my $artist ( @artists )
{
my $artistdir = $musicdir."/".$artist;
if ( -d $artistdir )
{
next if $artist eq "Compilations";
opendir MYDIR, $artistdir || die( "Couldn't open $artistdir
\n" );
my @albums = grep !/^\.\.?$/, readdir MYDIR;
closedir MYDIR;
foreach my $album ( @albums )
{
next if ( grep(/$album/,@albumsnoart) );
my $albumdir = $artistdir."/".$album;
if ( -d $albumdir )
{
print "Grabbing art for $artist - $album...";
if (-f $albumdir."/folder_large.jpg" )
{
print "SKIPPING: I already have art for this
album.\n";
next;
}
`amazon.pl "$musicdir/$artist/$album" "$artist"
"$album"`;
if ( -f $albumdir."/folder_large.jpg" )
{
print "DONE\n";
}
else
{
print "NOT FOUND: Sorry, no album art found.\n";
push( @albumsnoart, $album );
}
}
}
}
}
Also, I had to patch amazon.pl with this so the script won't bail
when it can't find any art:

It hasn't been fixed, as of svn 8350. The earlier efforts to fix haven't resolved it. Please, add to the ticket if you have any additional information that might help in tracking down the bug.

I've posted a couple of times about skipping in MythMusic (I get skips of up to 20s randomly during playback). There were no replies, so I figured no-one else was seeing this issue. I am upgrading a system in the next few days to see whether a new version of Fedora/libraries will cure the problem. The machine I see this on is running FC2 and MythTV 0.18.1 from atrpms.net. I am also outputting via SPDIF, but I got skipping previously when using analog output too. The files play fine on my Windows machines in WinAMP, so again like you, I'm pretty sure the files are good (tried with 44.1kHz and 48kHz files). Again, no messages in the logs and no problems when playing the files back in xine (also via SPDIF) Nick ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'm using ALSA w/OSS emulation. Are you using ALSA for MythTV and then OSS for MythMusic? Have you tried using OSS for everything to see if that removes the audio level problems? MythMusic requires OSS, so it might be interesting to see if using OSS throughout makes any difference (as it should then be using the same mixer device). I'm not sure whether your mixer would show a different control for audio using the OSS compat.

I have a similar layout and a similar problem. Eventually I worked around it by making a parallel directory hierarchy with A-D etc directories containing symlinks back to the artists in the main tree.

I don't watch many video's, so this can't be the sole culprit It's possibly related to watching tv as well, but I haven't been able to decipher any set pattern of failure. It sounds to me like you have database issues. Every time you change any files in your music directory, you have to go to Setup -> Music Setup -> Scan for New Music. If the files are on a network share, make sure it's working, and make sure the MythTV user can read the music directory -- and can write if you're ripping CDs. I've never changed any files in the music directory. I add new stuff through "import cd". I find it's generally easier to use direcotry sorting rather than id3 but you need to plan your directory structure. I keep everything in ~/music/genre/artist/album/track.ogg. In the music setup, there's a sorting option. Set it to directory. I do use directory sorting but was hoping that with the compilation artist feature I could use genre/artist/album sorting but until I can get compilation artist to work right directory sorting is much better. I'd really like it if the playlists were a bit easier to deal with, but it still works well if you just set a default playlist and randomize. I find it's a lot easier to change the playlist later by pressing '3' if you know where all your music is because you put it in /genre/artist/album/ than to worry about where id3 sorting might have put it. I'd love to use the "3" option from the playlist to change the current playlist, the problem is that it either freezes the UI on the frontend or it ignores the changes I've made. So it's not really useful. Also It is annoying that when I change the selected music the update is not immediately pushed to the database, so that when I try and play the playlist and mythmusic crashes, on restart of the frontend I've lost my selected music and have to do it all over again. This is what really hurts. I don't know what the limits of the database are, but I run a P3 700 with a Turtle Beach Riviera card. I usually keep around 40-60 records in the playlist, but I've had the whole lot -- around 6k tracks in the list at once with no problem. Still, I wish it were easier to set up and maintain playlists, and switch between them more easily. What I'd really like is if there was a priority queue. I'd like to have it play a default playlist in random order, but let you browse the library and send things to the front of the line in the order you pick them.

OK, more to the story... while I posted the last email, it eventually freed itself up. The terminal posted the message databasebox.o: Couldn't find your CD. It may not be in the freedb database. More likely, however, is that you need to delete ~/.cddb and ~/.cdserverrc and restart mythmusic. Have a nice day. MythThemedDialog.o: something is requesting a screen update of zero size. A widget probably has not done a calculateScreeArea(). Will redraw the whole screen (inefficient!). I tried deleting .cddb (I have no .cdserverrc) but it hasn't helped. Now it has freed itself up, I can select the CD for playing in the playlist editor, as 'unkown' and it will play. I closed myth and fired up kaffeine. It accepts the same CD and gets the names and tracks from the net fine.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythmusic sorting order
http://musicbrainz.org I've had very good luck with the MusicBrainz Tagger application for cleaning up ID3 tags. However it's a Windows-only app (there is an OSX version IIRC). I ran it on a rag-tag collection of about 150 MP3's from various sources, some pretty obscure, and most with munged or inconsitent tags. MusicBrainz found EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM in its database and both fixed the tags and renamed the files to my specs. Sometimes the initial search doesn't find it, but you can dig in to view the possible hits and I always found what I was looking for there. If by chance you have something they don't, you can add it to their database so the next person can find it. Perhaps it will help in your case by consistently naming the artists. David Fedor Pikus wrote: Question: can I affect the order in which mythmusic lists files *in the play window*? I can change the tree order, but that affects "Select music" window. So, I have the tree sorted by artist then title, and I select all music by Mozart and Paganini. Then I go to "Play music" and I see all titles by Mozart, followed by all titles by Paganini, but the order within each group seems to be random, definitely not sorted by title or album. On a somehat related question, has anyone found a way to deal with this little annoyance: I ripped 3 CDs and now I have music by 3 artists: "Mozart", "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart", and "Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus". In three different places in the search tree too. I can manually edit id3 tags, of course.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythMusic shows no length for MP3s
HI!
I have "Ignore ID3 tags" on, because I want it to display the filenames,
not the ID3 names. But it displays the track length for MP3s I
downloaded, just not for the MP3s that I encoded myself. But other
programs show the length of my MP3s. So, there is something different
going on.

Is there any way to get Mythmusic to re-read the ID3 tags from the files
in the music library? Being the obsessive sort that I am, I just updated
a bunch of the tags in my collection, but mythmusic is still displaying
the old information from when they were previously imported.
I believe it only does processing for 'new' files; doesn't
timestamp-check them.
I'm afraid I [yes, I do it too] resort to fixing the musicmetadata
fields manually in SQL :)
And on that note: does SQL have a regex-style search & replace
("replace()" only matches fixed text)? That would ease a lot of pain in
this area!

that tracks also finish early, e.g. a 4:47 track finishes at about
4:28. I'm using ALSA output to SPDIF on an EPIA M10K/FC3 system.
Just a followup on this.
It turns out I maligned mythmusic when in fact it was an issue with the
SPDIF output. SPDIF needs a sample rate of 48KHz, while mythmusic,
mplayer, etc output 44.1KHz from most music sources, since this is
their native rate. Using "-srate 48000" fixed mplayer. To fix mythmusic
I needed to add the following to /etc/asound.conf and tell mythmusic to
use "ALSA:rate_convert" as the device.
pcm_slave.test
{
pcm "spdif"
rate 48000
}
pcm.rate_convert
{
type rate
slave test
}
I'm sure there's a much better way to do this in general, in particular
by using the advice at
http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo and adapting it from
the nforce example to the VIA 8236 chipset on my board.
Does anyone already have such a beast for the VIA?
Matt.

OK Fixed it now I think, unfortunately I'm not bright enough to make
patch files, so I'll describe the changes ;)
1) in mythmusic\settings.pro:
Added the line: INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/mythtv after the isEmpty stuff
2) in mythmusic\mythmusic\mainvisual.h:
changed line 65 to: class MainVisual : public QWidget, public MythTV::Visual
(Added MythTV namespace to class extension definition)
I doubt these are 'fixes'..but now my mythmusic cvs (as of 30 minutes

For what its worth I've also just run into this :( I fixed the
'missing' visual header by adding it as aspecific include in the
mythmusic.pro file, but then I ran into your next set of errors, and
I'm not even close to vague familiarity with the code to fix em :(

Hi all,

skips
ahead
a few seconds at random while playing. Most of my music is in OGG
format,
so it may be something specific to this format, I'm not sure.
Anyone
come
across anything like this?
My post of a few days ago ("MythMusic playback speed too fast") is
probably related - I'm seeing a similar thing for mp3 playback
minus
the skipping (they just play fast and end early). But I'm pretty
sure
it's been happening for a few OGG's in the collection too.
I had a bit of a hack around with module options to see if it was the
soundcard output bitrate or anything, but with no luck. I tried
setting
the output bitrate explicitly to 44100Hz, but then everything
noticeably
slowed down - pitch changed and everything, but the timer on
MythMusic
still ended a few seconds early, just as before, so I put it back.
I'm using the built-in AC97 sound device using the ATI IXP driver,
so I
put this in modprobe.conf to change the bitrate:
options snd-atiixp ac97_clock=44100
If you're not getting pitch shifting though, I guess this isn't your
problem either...
I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly?) that if sound is working OK for
other components of the system (which it is), then this is more likely
to be related to the mp3/ogg decoders rather than the sound driver.
I haven't had time to look into this properly yet, and indeed I'm not
even sure where to start playing. Does anyone know where to start
tweaking the decoders used by MythMusic?
Don't know if the information in this post is still relevant, but
maybe it
might point you in the right direction:

Hmm, it's 2 years old but does sound very similar to what I'm seeing.
Might be useful - thanks.

I've tried configuring Xine and mplayer to just send out 2.0 stereo (an mp3 music file), and yes, the sound comes out of all speakers, not just the front ones. Now I don't know where the upmixing is done. If I set the ALSA 'Center' and 'Surround' settings to 0 with: amixer set Center 0 amixer set Surround 0 , the sound only comes from the two front speakers. But then that is true regardless of whether the source is 2.0 or 5.1. :-( So it seems 2.0 stereo is upmixed to 5.1 in or before ALSA.. But where?

If I have to choose, I'd rather have TV and Music both use 2 speakers than they both use 5, but I'd prefer TV to continue to use 5 speakers while Music uses 2. I use Xine for MythVideo, and the sound setup for Xine is separate from myth altogether so I suspect any settings will be local to MythTV and MythMusic. Anybody succeeded doing this that? How?

It is certainly possible to access music on a Windows box from mythmusic. This method worked fine for me when accessing regular .mp3 files on a Windows box. I don't know anything about iTunes, so perhaps there are other issues related with the format the music is saved in? This may not work at all for you. To access any windows folder under linux, you can use smbfs to mount a windows file share. This requires enabling file sharing on Windows, allowing it through the Windows firewall (if XP SP2), and creating a file share for the Windows folder. I'll assume the Windows name for the PC is "windowsbox" and the share name for the shared music folder is "itunes". I will also assume that the username and password for the windows file share are "winuser" and "winpass". Substitute as appropriate. To test if the PC is correctly configured, try the command: smbclient -L windowsbox You should see the shared directory in the list of output services. >From here on, you'll probably need to be root. You can test mounting the share with the following command: smbmount //windowsbox/itunes /mnt -o username=winuser If that works, you should be prompted for a password. After entering the password if you "ls /mnt" you should see the contents of the windows folder. Now unmount it: umount /mnt You need to create a directory where you want the mount point to be on your mythtv box. I don't recall what the default location mythmusic searches for music is, but it's in the settings. I'll assume it is /var/myth/music for now. If you are using some other directory, either because you changed it or because that is not the correct default, substitute as appropriate. If the only music you want to access is on the windows box, you can mount the windows folder directly on /var/myth/music. If you have some other music local on the mythtv box, then create a subdirectory to mount it on, for example /var/myth/music/windows. To make the mythtv box mount the windows file share automatically on boot, add the following line to your /etc/fstab: //windowsbox/itunes /var/myth/music/windows smbfs \ username=winuser,password=winpass 0 2 (remove '\' and combine into one line) To test it, do mount -a ls /var/myth/music/windows If everything has worked so far, then just run the "scan for new music" option from the settings to update the database. One important note about this: if the windows box becomes unavailable (for example because it is shut down) it takes a long time for filesystem operations to time out. This makes mythmusic *very* unresponsive. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Mythmusic itunes share client?
> I was wondering if it was possible to make mythmusic act as a client for > an iTunes shared library? > A down and dirty way would be to run samba on the mythbox and have the itunes server on the windows box save the music on the mythbox via the samba share. But then you need more storage in the mythbox and you can't use your windoze box to host the music. I'm not sure if you can mount the itunes share with samba and have the mythmusic use the windoze share that way. I don't use mythmusic though. -- -=/>Thom ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
