| Summary | 0017782: Scanning - Continuous doesn't work (regression 5.0) | ||||
| Description | If the user enables Scanning (Continuous) for a directory, then MediaMonkey 5 fails to recognize tag updates made to files in the directory. In addition, scanning settings are lost on restart. To replicate: 1 Set MM5 to continuously monitor Music/Album X 2 Navigate to Music > Albums > Album X [album view] 3 In another program, change the artist metadata of one of the tracks in Album X --> MediaMonkey fails to display the change! 4 Press F5 --> MediaMonkey fails to display the change! 5 Press INS to manually initiate a scan of the directory --> MediaMonkey displays the change 6 Restart MediaMonkey 7 Press INS --> Scan settings show the scan settings for Music/Album X as 'Manual' rather than 'Continous'! So there may be 2 separate bugs (lost config setting / failed continuous scan) or just a failure to save the config which results in the failed continuous scan. This is a regression vs MediaMonkey 4 which is working correctly in my environment for the same usecase. | ||||

Tried briefly and I can't replicate the settings not persisting issue, but I can replicate that the tag metadata updated externaly does not update in MM5 (even if I see the file monitor working and updating it in the debug log), but in my case they don't update even after manual re-scan. Probably a ID3 version mismatch or something like this, I'll investigate this more deeply tomorrow... EDIT: OK, in my case it did not work because I had disabled the checkbox in 'Options > Library > [x] Update info from tags when rescanning files' Once I enabled the checkbox then it started to work, i.e. using F5 in MM5 > Music > Location > ... does show the new values. Note though that I used MM4 for the tag modification, I'll try with the Mp3Tag app tomorrow... |

There were actually three issues: 1) Folder's settings to "Continuously" was applied only once MM5 was restarted (should be applied immediatelly after clicking [Save] or [Scan now] in the Add/Rescan dialog) 2) Folder's settings to "Continuously" sometimes failed to save/store on MM5 closing -- thus not restored after MM5 restart => the Rusty's case 3) Metadata changes in tags were updated in the view only after pressing F5 (to refresh) All three issues are fixed in 5.0.1.2400 |

Verified 2400 Confirm all three cases fixed, I also tested regression, but it would be good to see second verification before closing. |
