mplayer installed and loaded.
Everything seems fine  :)

Thanks

totem (Video) reads them...
Soundconverter fails...

???

libmpcdec6, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
already installed, but it fails again.

Something else? I'm on Linux Mint Qiana, amd64, gmb 1.1.12

Thanks

from your main page:
support ogg vorbis, mp3 and flac files (and mpc/ape/m4a with gstreamer or mplayer)

I'm trying to read some .mpc files (with gstreamer) but it fails:

Errore di riproduzione : Impossibile decodificare lo stream. at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 137.

Nedd some extra tool?

Bye'n thanks

Did it. Pheeww...  8) no loss.
Many many thanks!
GMB is big, waiting for 1.2 and more...

OK, that's not the problem.
The real problem is that the perl command tells gmbrc where will be stored FILES I'm going to move, but what really I want to move is a WHOLE HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM of nested FOLDERS and - finally - files.
So , if I move files only, everything is fine (tags etc.), but if I move all folders gmbrc doesnt find the files it is searching, so I need to rescan and newly rescanned files are "new" with-no-tags.
Here is the problem, isn't it?
:)

[before]

I think the problem is the terminal slash "/", try :
perl -pi.premove -e 's#/home/ego/Scrivania/VANNELLI#/home/ego/Musica#g' ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc

OK, that's good... so and so...  ;)
Now the Perl script (without final '/') correctly overwrites gmbrc.
But, relaunching gmb, my settings are always lost: it reads VANNELLI in /home/ego/Musica, but nothing more than that. No counts, ratings...

Goin' to try again...

Question: how has to be set Settings/Library/ FoldersToSearch before and after filemoving?

Thank You  :)

[Target]

2 things
1) gmusicbrowser must NOT be running while you run the perl -pi... command
2) make sure you replace by the exact same folder, if you move everything that was in /A/ into /B/ use :
perl -pi.premove -e 's#/A/#/B/#g' ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc

you can move the files however you want, use a graphical file browser if you want.

I'm going crazy...  :o
Target: to move folder "VANNELLI" scanned and tagged in gmb from /home/ego/Scrivania to /home/ego/Musica without losing gmb data and tags

OK, let's start...
1- in gmb I can play files, add rating and follow playcounts...
2- quit gmb
3- gedit ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc

SO NOTHING HAPPENED!!!
Let's go on...
7- Graphically I move VANNELLI from .../Scrivania to .../Musica
8- run gmb: <Playlist Empty> ...sigh!
9- gmb Settings/Library: add folder to search for new songs > /home/ego/Musica
10- library gets populated with my songs, but I've lost my work in tags, ratings, counts, etc...
11- quit gmb
12- gedit ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc AT LAST:

I suppose it should be fine... but again i lose ratings, counts, etc...
I'll go symbolic, if nothing else helps....

No result, sorry.
GMB 1.1.7. I'm using folder >>> 010 Big Dreamers Never Sleep (1987) with 11 files in it (9 >mp3 and 2 >covers)
The folder is in /home/ego/Scrivania so I load it in gmb by scanning /Scrivania. OK. Then I play some music and rate it, seeing covers. OK. In Browser I can see changes. OK.
Then

Code Select Expand

perl -pi.premove -e 's#/home/ego/Scrivania/010 Big Dreamers Never Sleep (1987)/#/home/ego/Musica/#g' ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc and

Code Select Expand

mv "/home/ego/Scrivania/010 Big Dreamers Never Sleep (1987)/" /home/ego/Musica/
Back in Settings, I add /home/ego/Musica and scan it.
I have LOST all of my ratings and play counts.... NOK!!! >:(

Sure I'm wronging somewhat... what?
Thanks

Thank you.
Sorry, it doesn't work on my system...
I need to move/copy all my files cause I need them on an unique HD, and the current one is too much small (250 GB, but I need at least 1 TB).
Here the command I gave:

Code Select Expand

perl -pi.premove -e 's#/mnt/home/ego/Scrivania/2001 My Music/#/home/ego/Musica/#g' ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc

Is that right? Sorry, I'm not practiced with Perl, at all...
After command, no result (no file in /Musica...) Am  I wrong?

Hi.
I'm new to gmb: it's simply fan-ta-stic!!!
I'm testing it before importing all my music (42000 music files) in it.
At now I've imported about 10000, everything is fine, I'm very happy with it, but I realize I need to move music folders from one disk to another.
What's the right way to do it? Mass moving doesn't work for me (covers files...) and I'm afraid to lose all job done up to now...
Pleeze...
THX, byez :)
