especially here, I don't understand, what "All Folder" and "All Music" are all about. Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-09 um 22.11.23.png

I have the same error on Windows 10. I upgraded to latest Madsonic without uninstall. If you have the same Error, you could probably try the same Solution. And please wrap your Logs in CODE-Tags, found here, when you write a post (which you can edit afterwards too). Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-06 um 16.08.56.png

I'll lose another permissions like accessing db.view if I remove the "admin" role? Yes, there is currently no Role (User Permission) to query the Database. Only for Admins. But I made a Feature Request

How can I debug this, and what can I do to solve it? For example, show us screenshots of your settings or write them down here. As well as this useful support-header . Did you find this post? Its called "WARNING no transcoder found!" and its about the transcode path . Maybe it helps.

Yeah exactly my thoughts, thats why i was asking if we can write them to the id3 field same as we do with genre and artist info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

("Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs.") Does it work now? If not, you could use pastebin for pasting your logs and posting the link here. I guess, spam-check works for new users, which don't have much posts. If you post a second time, it might work too ;-)

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the 6.3 release still considered beta (the download page still carries a warning that it is only to be used in test and not production environments)? If so, I will have to wait for it to be promoted as we run a production environment. stable 6.2.9040 beta 6.2.9080 alpha 6.3.9840 The Serverlog tells, 6.3 is an Alpha Version. I belive that, because I installed and tested it ;-)...

There is a Fast access mode in the Media Folder Configuration (Use this option to minimize disk access, for instance if your media files are located on a network disk. Note: Changes to files will only be visible after your media folders are scanned.) Also, Scanmode Metadata in the Admin Panel could be responsible for slower/faster scanning of files. See here. First time scans always take much longer as scans where only...

I was wondering if someone out there might have a list of sites that have Madsonic themes for download?!?!? I don't think so. You may use your favorite searchengine for "madsonic themes" and find only some facefook-links which mention "themes", but I guess, those are all you will get: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-06 um 04.18.27.png

It now is easily possible in the "playbar" (with MADSONIC 6.3.9840.8df1ddd.20180107.0710) There is a dropdown menu available to choose all of the configured players. Thats quicker than quick ;-)

can anyone help me enable multi-tag genre metadata on 6.3?? seems to be just one tag atm :/ You can enable it here: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-03 um 11.49.58.png If it is not working, then its probably a bug :-) If so, please file it here in the Bugs forum , maybe with an example file to check.

how can i organize the id3 tags so that i can have a single album with tracks of multiple artists in it Did you tried to set the Album Artist ? In the Tag Editor you need to show the Albumartist first, then you can set it. See also: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-03 um 11.32.06.png Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-03 um 11.35.34.png

Is it possible to create a cronjob under linux to get the process working automatically? What ist the Java Command for the cronjob? Scanning all files ... ? :? If you did not find it yourself, you can start here: Shell script to start media scan . Check the REST-API then for more commands.

I see there is a new Synology package release. What is the procedure to update a Synology installation without losing my settings? Can't say exactly, but: from the Download Page : Note :: Upgrades from older Madsonic 6.x versions are supported! and from the Installer Page : create folder: <Public>\Madsonic (for backup/restore) So I guess, you need/should make a backup before upgrading and then choose...

Trying to answer my own question, I guess , a genre map might be here to find (after activating the above setting and a full rescan of your music folders): Choose "Genre Radio" from the left navigation: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-03 um 06.18.56.png See the map: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-03 um 06.20.23.png Click on a genre and some albums should pop up.

To answer my own question: its not possible. You can only re-scan all Media Folders at once.

Hi, I have no idea how to help you solve your problem. All I can say is that I am currently running 6.2.9040 in a Docker container on my QNAP, and it works perfectly. Everytime I wish to upgrade, I always do a test first in a new container. If it fails, I have the previous container to go back to. May advice; Never upgrade anything unless you are prepared for disaster, - or if you have a backup either in the form of a...

+1 got the same issue. Using the latest 6.3 version. Tried different formats but none seem to trigger multiple genres.

To check your current Madsonic license status: best regards, The Madsonic Team

Thanks for getting back to me and offering your recommendations! I can only put my hands up at this point and say it was my fault! I'd been staring at it for so long I was blind to a few problems. I'll outline what I did and what went wrong, in case it helps somebody in the future. I had working install of Madsonic on my Synology, and decide to update to the latest bleeding edge version. I uninstalled, and then...

Still bumping my head around this, any ideias on how to solve this?

Nevermind, it started working when I enabled searching by tags.

Since version 6.3, more metadata is being read out, which will take much more time for the initial scan, all other scans will consume much less time. Go to Settings > Admin Panel and configure the scan mode to NATIVE which is much faster than the MIXED mode. Best regards, The Madsonic Team

I may be wrong but the beta of 6.3 on Windows seems to allow seeking within all types of files without setting changes.

huh. Nevermind. It seems to have fixed itself this morning. : \

Since Sonos rollout version 8 firmware officially, some problem exist with the auto Sonos service registration, a workaround for this is coming with the next snapshot build this week. Best regards Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk

Ya, don't think I want to delete all my playlists! Is there a formal support line in place for this since I paid for the product? Thanks.

Well I figured it our..sort of. For anyone else haveing similar problems. I factory reset my sonor, and imported all my music resourses again, including madsonic. And it worked without problems.

I have the same experience. I too got an email (back in 2015) after purchasing what I thought was a lifetime Premium fee (see attached) madsonic-premium-email.png I've also had to post on these forum pages a couple of times to get the license to work again for one reason or the other. For the first time, however, the thread/topic regarding current license issues is now closed/locked with a somewhat vague statement from...

Hello, you can connect your Paypal account to a bank account instead of a credit card if you want.

problems with temporary licenses Most Madsonc test licenses expire by the end of October 2017. Users with special test scenarios have already received e-mails that their licenses have been extended! For users who need Madsonic premium features, they can be converted to permanent licenses. Just go to: Regards, The Madsonic team

I have never tried this but if you use last.fm there is an option to sync cover art. See the attached screenshot. build 6.3.9560 sync_coverart.PNG

Confirmed, fixed with build 6.3.9560 :thumbsup:

I think I'm getting the same type of error. I'll post it here. Did you find a fix? I'll post a screenshot, this does not allow copy/paste due to spam restrictions.

Apparently, what I really needed to do was to post to the forum, cause then I managed to solve the problem. I replaced the transcoder settings to match what was on this documentation page: So far, not having the problem anymore. It was doing it on every track, getting stuck during playback. Made it through 2 albums now without any troubles.

Hi Eddie, I have similar setup as yours, all properly tagged with title, artist name and album name, album artist. But how do you deal with multi-disc album? see my problem here:

FIXED: Completely removed old version (6.2) shutdown and restarted computer, Installed 6.3 and had to start fro mdefault settings again Also updated java SE not that I think that had anything to do with it anyone that has trouble with this please try the above :) and don't forget ot backup any important playlists before total clean :thumbsup:

Doesn't anyone have such problem? :shock: If anyone doesn't have such issue, please share your folder structure or setup/how you browse the albums. I starting to wonder if this is a feature not implemented by Madsonic or I'm just plain stupid not knowing how to setup. Mods/Madsonic developer, please advise. Thanks!
