Newbie Songpath Problem

[i_n0thing]

Saw this question posted before, but I'm still having a problem. After Installing Wincab and executing, i receive the message:

FATAL ERROR
No songs found!
Check the Song Path setting in JUKEBOX.INI

This is after i can see it finding the different folders. Even specifing a band folder it still comes up. The index is set to search the drive folder:

SongPath1 = F:\MP3

and set:

MaxFolderDepth = 4.

The majority of my music files are MP3 files. I have some M4A, WMA and APE files, but they're not supported so I'm guessing that those files are just ignored. Looking throu the debug log i find:


0:00:04.23-LVL2-INDEXER-LOOP: Entering folder Xmal Deutschland...
0:00:04.23-LVL5-STATUS: Updating database/Xmal Deutschland
0:00:04.24-LVL3-INDEXER-LOOP: Art for this folder (mask 1): F:\MP3\Xmal Deutschland\Folder.jpg

0:00:04.24-LVL4-INDEXER-LOOP: No match (no pointer). File ID=495412XMAL

changing the artist info for all the other folders I have.

Am I receiving this error message because I have multiple file types sharing the same folder or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Having mixed media shouldn't be the problem... as you've surmised, the unsupported files should just be ignored.  And according to the log snippet you posted, at least one MP3 song should be found.

Delete the contents of the DATA directory, run the program, and look through the debiug log again.  At the end of the list of artists and songs there should be a summary that lists the number of songs found and the time it took to find them.   What does this summary say?

This is from the last folder to the end of the report.

And what files are in the DATA directory at this point?  Can you ZIP them up and attach them to this thread?

[i_n0thing]

The DATA folder is empty, but here's the zip with that and the jbdebug file and the config file. I changed the location of the MP3s to a folder with just three bands instead of the whole 30 gig folder.

[Chris]

If the DATA folder is empty it is unable to create the database file for some reason.  Check for any of the following:

- The DATA folder being marked as read-only
- The current user not having permission to write to the DATA folder
- jukebox.db being created somewhere other than the DATA folder.  This might happen if you were trying to run the jukebox as a shell or from a misconfigured batch file or front end.

[i_n0thing]

As it turns out, I'm using TagTuner to edit the ID3 tags, and it changes all MP3 files to MPEG Audio files. That would be why I'm not able to get it to work. Go figure. Once i'm done with that I'll try it again.

I'll go bang my head against the wall now.


Thanks for all the help.
