268 discrepancies and it is only halfway finished the scanning.

Some days I
REALLY hate this database. But I checked several of the files and the script is identifying them as it should.

I just thought of a way to make it faster (I think)

If you want to speed it up, but it took about 10 minutes (didn't check the start time) to finish and now I have 397 tracks to fix. There goes another Saturday afternoon.

Thank you once again for all your assistance.

New Code. Technically it should be faster but I can't really see the difference

If it wasn't for you and your database scripters would have nothing to do

As for fixing them, I'm not sure that a general rule can be applied
Will have to have a think about the next part.

I have 1 album with 2 embedded images front and back but only 1 entry in covers table.
I haven't been able to fix it yet.
Completely removed them all and added them back produces the same result

Looks like we may have a bug

Yes it does indeed!
I have found a few of these as well. I.e more Album Art exists in the files tag, than MM can find.

Although I hate the idea of it being a bug, I am relieved because it means that my db is not doing strange things again.

I'm bumping this thread as I believe it has something to do with the iPod art problems
If the MM database has discrepencies with art then surely the iPod is going to suffer the same/worse consequences
I only have 1 album with this problem but it only takes one to throw the sync out
I recomend anyone having iPod art issues run this script to see if they are effected. No use looking at the ipod and sync process if the MM database is out of whack

Good debugging MoDementia! Jiri has said that this bug will be fixed in the upcoming 3.1 beta cycle. I guess a rescan then will fix these problems?

I don't think it can cause any iPod problems. As far as I remember the only issue was that Covers table didn't contain information about >1 image stored in tag. However, this doesn't prevent MM to read (and then show) correct album art when it's needed. It only caused kind of 'statistical' problems.

Yes Jiri the problem is exactlty as you describe.
If you are convinced this isn't the cause of iPod art problems then the only other conclusion is something to do with the deletion of tracks no longer in the sync list before the new sync, or other slight changes in the resync as I have never encountered an issue with a clean sync.
