modex Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi, Im using the latest Alpha 0.5. Installs, fine, applied licence fine and then select a folder with music, I thn close the import dialog box and nothing happens, no updating, no music. I uninstalled musicbox and physically removed all the related files and folders in the install direcotry and reinstalled from scratch. Still nothing imports or shows up. Am I completely missing something Im supposed to do to initiate the reading of the music files or should it happen automatically, I am completely at a loss of what to do. Is there any chance a "Begin or force reading music into musicbox" as a temporay measure to get it to read in the music. Desperate to try it out, and just cant get it do do anything. many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 @modex Thanks for the purchase! We'll get you going. What type of music files do you have in the music folder? What is the file extension? One thing you can try to help me narrow down the problem is to select a folder that contains a single album to see if that works, and see if there's a specific folder or file that's causing the issue.

modex Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ok, Ive done some more testing, I attached a folder from my network server and point to a folder for a specific album. Not sure if its a local/newtork issue or wether or not musicbox is expecting albums. At least I know its updating now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Gotcha, so it could be network related, yes. I haven't done significant testing loading music over a network as of yet, though I know that there are other people doing it successfully. My guess is that there's a file or two hitching it up somewhere, but it's hard to say. Let me know if you narrow it down any and I'll dive in deeper.

modex Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Hi Jason, Your program is running well, its me thats the idiot, I chose a couple of directories where I had new MP3s and there were no tags embedded in the files at all, so poor old musicbox had a read through them and obviusly couldnt report back anyhting as there was nothing to read. Meant to post a follow up statement but have been working all day. Re: loading over the network, no problem at all, reads the music files perfectly and very quickly too. I did however notcie when I imported all my Beatles music, which I embedded all the tags and pictures of each album, musicbox did not display the album covers, just an observation By the way, I watched your entire developer session yesterday on launchbox and really enjoyed it, you make coding look so easy, yet I know how difficult it really is. Anyway can I say a huge thankyou for both Launchbox and Musicbox, both absolutely amazing products. I even use Launchbox to manage my comic collection many thanks Nigel Edited September 29, 2017 by modex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thank you Nigel! Great to hear. I am aware that there are occasional incompatibilities with loading the album art, so that is on my list to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
