Music collection in external storage not detected

keirlawson commented 10 years ago

Using Owncloud 7.0.2 my music collection, mounted via external storage, is not displayed within the music player. The player does seem to scan the directories but apparently finds nothing. Files are mostly MP3.

Hi @snowball,

It looks like there is some information missing from your ticket that will be needed in order to diagnose and fix the problem at hand. Please take a look at the Contribution Guidelines, which will tell you exactly what your ticket has to contain in order to be processable.

I'm marking this one now as needing some more information. Please understand that if you do not provide that information within the next two weeks (until 2014-10-21 11:56) I'll close this ticket so it doesn't clutter the bug tracker.

I'm having the exact same issue.

For example, If I have music on an external hard drive. I set the music up to 'mount' in OwnCloud to /Music/

I add /Music/ to the Music app's location.

I go to the music app, and it shows an error, "Nothing in here. Upload your music!"

Tested on Windows, Owncloud 7.0.2

I'm also having the same issue.

Steps to reproduce

Fresh Owncloud install
Login as admin
Mount "local" external storage to folder "Music", make it available to a user (called "User" for example).
Install Music App and enable it.
Login as "User", go to Music app.
Ask for collection scan.
Enjoy listening to your music!

Expected behaviour

After scanning for music files, the music app should list all available music.

Actual behaviour

Scanning for musing files seems to work at first, since the progress bar indicates the correct number of total music files (around 3,000. mp3, ogg and flac mixed) However, once scanning is done, collection remains empty: "Nothing in here. Upload your music!". Call to https:///owncloud/index.php/apps/music/api/collection just returns "[]"

Music files are listed in the File app. If I click on one, Music app opens: URL: https:///owncloud/index.php/apps/music/#/file/958 but still the same "Nothing in here..." message. If I middle click on the file in File app, I can download it.

Hi, I've made some more testing. It appears that in my case, and I cannot speak for keirlawson or jleaders, the problem may not be linked to external storage, although I use it. If I set the collection root to a single artist's folder, instead of the whole collection, it works fine. Here is a little experiment I've done, with browser network log enabled.

First, I choose the whole music collection.

Go to user preferences, choose /Music/ as music path.
- POST path query
- -> Parameters: value="/Music/"
- -> Returns {success: true}
Go to Music app.
- GET collection query
- -> Parameters: None
- -> Returns: Nothing
- GET scan query
- -> Parameters: dry=1
- -> Returns: {0: {processed: 0, scanned: 0, total: 0 } }
- Displays: "Nothing in here..."
- Does not display: "Unscanned files" link

Then I did the same on a single artist's folder:

Go to user preferences, choose /Music/Adele/ as music path.
- POST path query
- -> Parameters: value="/Music/Adele"
- -> Returns {success: true}
Go to Music app.
- GET collection query
- -> Parameters: None
- -> Returns: Nothing
- GET scan query
- -> Parameters: dry=1
- -> Returns: {0: {processed: 0, scanned: 0, total: 1 } }
- Displays: "Nothing in here..."
- Displays: "Unscanned files" link
- If I click the link, the songs appear as expected in the Music App.

I've also checked for ownCloud logs, but they are utterly empty regarding Music app. Also, please note that the scan?dry=1 query runs very fast either way, even on the 3,000 song collection.

Let me know if there is any other test I may run...

Thanks for testing.

@keirlawson @Xavtak @jleaders This issue is old but is it still valid with most recent Music app version (currently 0.5.4) and more recent ownCloud/Nextcloud version?

paulijar commented 6 years ago

With almost a month with no reply, I assume that this old issue is no longer valid.
