After ripping/encoding to FLAC via MythMusic I was unable to play the
songs which were ripped/encoded. I managed to determine the issue, and
fix it so I am able to play the songs, however I believe this is a bug. I
am going to describe the situation and the steps I took, which should have
fixed the issue, and what I ended up having to do to get the music
working.
Situation - I originally had the same CD ripped/encoded to OGG and have
been converting my music to FLAC. MythMusic was able to play the OGG
files with no issues. Initially I removed the original OGG files and
directory. Next I ripped/encoded the CD into FLAC. Prior to performing
the rip/encode, I was given the option to delete the original OGG files in
the database and replace with the newly encoded files. I chose the
"Delete All" option. After the rip/encode was complete, I attempted to
add the files to the playlist and play them. Adding the files to the
playlist worked, however playing the files did not. I tried deleting the
entire music database and re-scanning for new music, which completed, but
the files still would not play. After checking the mythfrontend.log file,
I noticed when adding the new FLAC files, I received the following error:
mythfrontend[3713]: E CoreContext metadata.cpp:649 (Filename) Metadata:
Asked to get the filename for a track but no file found: Dream Theater/A
Dramatic Turn of Events/01 - On the Backs of Angels.flac
The same error occurred for each song on the album, leading me to realize
the "of" in "A Dramatic Turn of Events" did not match with the actual
directory structure - the directory created by MythMusic during the
rip/encode had an "Of" with an uppercase "O" instead of the lowercase.
After changing the directory name to include the lowercase "o" instead of
the upper, the songs played. My best guess at this point is that the
original OGG files I had in the database were located in a folder with a
lowercase "o" instead of an uppercase "O" and for some reason the database
was not entirely cleared out when I tried to delete the music database.
The ID3 tags associated with the new FLAC files all have an uppercase "O"
in the "Of" and reflect that in MythMusic when browsing or playing the
files.
