Can't get forte running (pt. 2)

[JaxzKyd]

So I noticed that 1.7 just released, meaning I could finally use my entire music library with Forte, which I was excited to test out! Unfortunately, trying to start forte leads to the app container closing with these logs.

Hi, forte uses music-metadata library for checking out if the file is an audio file. Do you have any files that are not supported by music-metadata?

You can check the supported files here

I'll try to make a workaround for unsupported files :+1:

I don't believe I do. My library mainly comprises FLACs with the occasional MP3s and OGG files. All of which seems to be listed. I'll try a smaller portion of my library that I know only consists of FLACs and I'll get back to you.

I've pushed some changes to revert to manual tagging if parseFile function fails. Can you check if it solves the issue for you?

You can use the following docker-compose.yml file to build from the master branch quickly, but you have to clone the repository and change your directory to the server directory:

Guess I should make a list of available music formats to check against.

[kaangiray26]

Alright, this should finally fix those problems.

[JaxzKyd]

It did fix that issue, and ran fine when I mounted a smaller copy of my library. However, this is really a "cut off one head, two more grow in its place" type of scenario, because when I tried to mount my full library and run forte the app gave me this error log before shutting down

The last issue is about Deezer API's quota limit. I've added a small workaround for that. If you encounter any other problems please let me know :slightly_smiling_face:

[JaxzKyd]

That did solve that issue and I got forte started again! Follow-up question, I do have a few more problems, would you like me to make a new issue or continue in this one?

[kaangiray26]

Maybe you can create more specific issues for the other problems so that they will be easier to search and find for future reference.

Wait I do have a question, looking at the logs do you use the Deezer API to lookup album covers?

[kaangiray26]

Yes I use Deezer API but only for updating album and artist covers if there are no cover files put by the user in the library.
