Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

Has this problem occured since moving the location of the Db folder ?

I dont know about that, however you can export the list of missing files as a comma seperated file, or spreadsheet so you could manipulate that list and feed it into another program.

It maybe a hidden file, within Windows Explorer, go to File and Folder Options and enable

Hidden Files and Folders/Show Hidden Files, folders, or drives

It might not even be the problem, what error are you actually getting ?

Cool, I will take a look however Musicbrainz are currently working on a Cover Art archive, its release is imminent and it will make it way into Jaikoz shortly after.

Essentially you just unzip it, run jaikoz-install.sh to install it and jaikoz.sh to run it, whats the problem ?

Did you actually install the application, or just try and run the license ?

The trouble with the old syntax is that it was too simple, you couldn't specify if/else and other constraints and functions

Do you have any knowledge of another scripting language that could be used instead which might be easier to work with.

Lilya really sorry just realised I edited your post rather than replied to your post I no longer have acess to your original post, do you want to reply ?

Well you can try my suggestion but Jaikoz has to match to a track even if it doesn't actually update the track fields, that how it works.

Well you could try setting the values of the fields you don't want to change to Never Alter in these preferences Remote Correct:MusicBrainz:Format and Format 2 and Remote Correct:Discogs

But Im not really sure oif this will work as you hope

Hi, the cluster albums function used to be required because matching in Jaikoz was just on a song by song basis. But with Autocorrect now this really shouldnt be necessary because songs are grouped first to try and Jaioz trys to match each group to one album. If your songs are already organized one folder per album you'll get better results if you enable Preferences:rRemote Correct:Group Songs by Folder Only

The sliders really didnt make much sense is many situations, the new algorithm is so much better.

I'm afraid the older versions are not aviailable.

The Only match complete releases option is slightly confusingly named. When you start Correct Metadata from Musicbrainz Jaikoz groups the songs into what it think are potential releases, then if you have this option enabled Jaikoz will only match the songs if all the songs in the group can be matched to one release. However this doesn't have to be a complete release ,i.e. say you have 7 songs of a release but the release is actually 8 songs it would be silly if Jaikoz didnt match all your songs to that release just because you only had 7 of the 8 songs.

However this isn't what is really causing the issue, the problem is how Jaikoz decides to group songs, they are grouped both on the value of their artist/album metadata and the name of the subfolder they are in, so a particular song can be in more than one group. And in your case I think you are hitting a problem with various artist releases that the songs are being added to both the various artist release and a single release just consisting of the song

i.e here is an extract of the log

Code:

 04/03/2012 01.12.50:com.jthink.jaikoz.manipulate.matchinghelper.AlbumArtistKey:musicbrainzMapAlbumsToTracks:SEVERE: Grouping:17645140:various artists/atmospheric drum and bass vol. 6:19 songs
 04/03/2012 01.12.50:com.jthink.jaikoz.manipulate.matchinghelper.AlbumArtistKey:musicbrainzMapAlbumsToTracks:SEVERE: Grouping:7806505:60 minute man/atmospheric drum and bass vol. 6:1 songs

looks like song has been put into two groups, and because one group consists of one song that song can be matched to just to that song even though you have 'Only match Complete Releases'

So what is the solution, if you have your songs organised on the hard drive as one album per folder (as I think you do) then if you enable Preferences:Remote Correct:Group Songs By Folder Only then songs will only be grouped by folder, so you''ll only get
Code:

  04/03/2012 01.12.50:com.jthink.jaikoz.manipulate.matchinghelper.AlbumArtistKey:musicbrainzMapAlbumsToTracks:SEVERE: Grouping:17645140:various artists/atmospheric drum and bass vol. 6:19 songs

and get matches to complete releases.

The only trouble is you have Prefer do not match to Various Artist compilations enabled, it is unlikely that songs that you currently have stored as a various artist album will be able to be matched to a single album with the group by folders option only you may have to change the options and do another pass just for the compilation releases.

Hope this helps, and I will have a think about how I could improve the logic or whether another option is needed

Well it doesnt work 100% of the time, did you only test against one file. Having said that I dont think it is working that well and I aim to improve it very soon.

No, word replacer doesnt accept wildcards.
