Parameter `--equate` produces an error message under specific circumstances

[2600box]

Hello,

I have been using m4b-tool to take metadata from directories and include it in my audiobooks. Works great like this:

m4b-tool merge -v --no-conversion --jobs=2 --output-file="output/" --batch-pattern="en/%g/%a/%n/" en

The problem is that I need to have the Album field populated as well as the Title though they can be the same.

Can you please direct me on this one? I am stumped!

Thanks!

Use --equate=name,album...

m4b-tool merge -v --no-conversion --jobs=2 --output-file="output/" --batch-pattern="en/%g/%a/%n/" en --equate=name,album

Thanks!

You're welcome :-)

Sorry to bother you with this, but this gives an error I don't understand... m4b-tool merge -v --no-conversion --jobs=2 --output-file="output/" --equate=name,album --batch-pattern="en/%g/%a/%n/" en

destination property title is not a scalar value and cannot be equateed

Any idea what is going on?

Any idea what is going on?

maybe an issue with the equate tagger. I'll take a look. Could you please tell me which version and which os you are using? To get the version please run:

m4b-tool --version

Thanks!

m4b-tool latest-168-gb154c85

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

ok, strange. I'll take a look asap...

Well, as I pointed out in #201, I could not reproduce this... I would need the exact file structure for a next try to reproduce. I'm very sorry.

-- was not a typo, but I tried with a single -

m4b-tool merge -vvv --debug --tag-debug-path=./debug/ --no-conversion --jobs=2 --output-file="output/" --batch-pattern="en/%g/%a - %n/" en --equate=name,album
