Repaired XML File empty, although operation succesful

[silveruzi]

The program runs perfectly and manages to analyze all problems in the collection. This can be seen in the Terminal, aswell as the report. But the generated XML file contains no data and when imported into Rekordbox shows as 0 tracks in collection. (Using Mac OS 12)

Hi @silveruzi , please could you send me the log file which is generated in the folder you run the tool in, maybe via a Dropbox link?

[silveruzi]

Update: In the library report it states that 0 tracks were repaired, but it found 1986 tracks with a missing file.

Update: Also good to know: I tried it 3 days ago and then it was possible to generate a working XML file with many fixed file paths.

[edkennard]

Is the drive /Volumes/F666 512 1 present at the moment?

[silveruzi]

no it is not

[edkennard]

Was it 3 days ago?

[silveruzi]

trying it right now with the drive present

[silveruzi]

Was it 3 days ago?

im quite sure it was

[silveruzi]

Okay, I ran it with the volume present. It now shows all tracks as healthy. (Which makes sense as the volume the missing tracks are located to is this USB drive.) (I restored the collection from this USB drive).

[silveruzi]

So unfortunately not the solution.

What are you trying to achieve? You want to relocate everything on the USB to your local disk?

[silveruzi]

So I have my collection in the original file structure on my disk. I copied the collection data from the USB stick into Rekordbox via Import playlist. I was able to recover 4000/6000 file paths via the auto relocate feature. I am not able to auto relocate any further tracks (the missing ones are totally random and no pattern can be found e.g. from one album 2 tracks are missing). I am trying to recover the missing 2000 file path.

All my files were back uped via ICloud Drive.

Apologies, but it's still difficult for me to understand what your original goal was. Was it to take all the music from the USB, copy it to your local disk, and add import it into rekordbox, so you don't need to use the USB anymore?

[silveruzi]

The situation is a bit tricky I guess.

• All the files are on my drive under /future.666 Track Collection
• My rekordbox library is gone
• (I want to keep my playlists and I want to keep the date added as information, which is why I dont want to start a new collection)
• I dragged the collection from a stick to rekordbox (just the rekordbaox data, no files)
• Now I need to rematch the file paths to my Collection Folder (USB Stick and collection have different sorting structure)

Thank you so much for your help! I just stopped the time and it will take me roughly four hours to manually relocate all the files... and I think I will do that (as I need my collection back working ASAP). Still amazing project!

OK, no worries and good luck :)
