Can Anyone Help Me With Some Annoying Issues I have? [#19068]

Post by enderson »

My music collection totals 18.6k tracks, all tagged, rated and with album and artist art.

Problem 1: I drag all the 4/5 rated tracks (currently totalling 774) from the "All Tracks" screen to the "Auto-DJ" area, and then I select "Randomize List" from the playlist option menu. Huge chunks of the list then go missing from the playlist as the music is playing, plus the same thing happens sometimes if I restart the app or it crashes out. It isn't the same number left each time either?

Problem 2: Some of my artist overview screens have lost their Wikipedia extract, despite it being present previously. When this happens, the option to switch to a different artist only shows "Update Properties". I'm assuming this one is a DB issue, but I don't know what to do to fix it?

Problem 3: Using any of the themes I have installed (Code Monkey, Material Design, Metro M, Monkey Groove and my own twist on the material theme with darker colouring) and in the Album Art view, the window keeps forgetting the widths of the various areas?

Thanks in advance for your assistance! :)

1) Auto-DJ is likely set to remove files. You're likely not starting at the beginning of the Playing and files prior to the playing file are set to be removed.

2) Can you provide some Artist samples?

2/3) Please update to the latest beta: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 86639&sd=d

If you mean the "Automatically retain previous files in Playing list", then it's set to All? I haven't seen any other option to do with the Auto-DJ feature, unless I've missed it?!

Beyoncé, Ava Max and Doja Cat are the last three I've noticed?

Done. It made no difference to my issues sadly. When the beta launched, it took 74 tracks off the playlist again?

1) Please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

2) Added as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19068

Ticket opened, but the Auto-DJ issue seems to have resolved itself with the installation of the Debug build... I'll use that for now, and pick up this again if it returns.

Thanks ;)
