Stop at start up screen "Preparing your library" #18

Closed bao3 closed 3 years ago

bao3 commented 3 years ago

I start TriPlayer, but it only show " Preparing your library" . My SD card is 512G, and musics are in folder /music .

This screen keep for about 1hr ... What could I do ?

tallbl0nde commented 3 years ago

This bug is caused due to the file names of your songs. Check that they don't have "special characters" such as é or symbols from other languages. Once all these characters are removed it should load normally!

bao3 commented 3 years ago

@tallbl0nde Conformed that ... My songs' name contain chinese characters .

So could you patch it ?

tallbl0nde commented 3 years ago

Hopefully, I'm still looking into it. Is there any chance you used sys-tune and these songs worked fine?

bao3 commented 3 years ago

Tried , and sys-tune has the similar issue. The sys-tune could only read and load the song with Latin characters , and wouldnt list Chinese characters songs.

tallbl0nde commented 3 years ago

Thanks for testing that, I'm starting to think it's an issue with Horizon (the Switch's OS), so I'm not entirely sure it can be fixed but I'll see!

When you say Special Characters - in the actual File NAME ( "song Title - here.mp3" ) , or in the Description Details? I know with Nero WaveEdit, when you change something in a Audio File, it changes the Album description to that weird y Symbol, and another one, like it is in Chinese. Yeah, also getting that Stuck at Building Library.

When you say Special Characters - in the actual File NAME

Yes. The metadata within the song (album name, artist name, etc) can contain these characters, however the file name essentially has to only contain A-Z, 0-9, etc.

Smoker1 commented 3 years ago

So no - in it, correct?

Smoker1 commented 3 years ago

Also, I created a NSP if interested. That way it should be running on it's own instead of Homebrew Menu NSP https://mega.nz/file/7J9EATKA#yqksbOSs3nZmeIjAawiAvNzlF6Bbiuia1BmI9gVSxGc

A dash and any brackets should be fine, essentially if the symbol appears on this table (only the first one) it should work.

Smoker1 commented 3 years ago

So - should be ok, and [ ] are ok? So no ( ) in it? Example - Song Artist - Song Title (Instrumental).mp3

If that is OK, then that means I wont have that much to Edit. But if I can work with [ ], then it will be more to Edit, but not as much. LOL

tallbl0nde commented 3 years ago

I used all those characters in my ~1300 song library without issues, so they should be fine! :)

For example, the following name would work: Artist - A Song Title (feat. Another Artist) [Remix].mp3

Smoker1 commented 3 years ago

Might need a list of Symbols that will NOT work. I went through everything, and Edited the Filenames as much as I could look through. Still stuck. So far, based on your Example, these are allowed.... ( ) [ ] . and - . any problems with the following? , & _ ' " "

tallbl0nde commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately I can't give a definitive list as I don't know for sure which ones cause issues :P However I'd say &, , and _ would be fine, not sure about quotes though.

There's one way I found which files were causing issues for me at least:

  1. Open a file explorer homebrew (I'll use N-Xplorer)
  2. Navigate to sdmc:/ and then /music
  3. Look over all of your .mp3's, if the file size reported seems wack, there's likely a bad character in the name

For example, when I replaced a character with é it said the size of my song was 2 bytes, which obviously isn't right.

bao3 commented 3 years ago

Close this issue ,because I deleted the songs and the app could start now
