Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Album import problem (Metadata Lookup)

I have been updating my music files and importing already ripped files from an external drive to my Sooloos library. Everything was working well over the last week (3-400 imported) and then, since yesterday, nothing. I cannot import or rip any new files at all. I have rebooted both my MC200 and QNAP and verified that they are online. Playback is fine so I assume that the storage is connected and functional. I gather this is the same issue as others here are experiencing, but if anyone has other ideas, please feel free to share.

Regards to all,

Is your store full?

I have over 6 TB empty! Unless I have set up the Sooloos volume on the QNAP improperly. My Control:Mac (and Control:PC) both indicate lots of room. It is very strange. It just stopped importing but nothing else changed.

Do you have the storage on the MC200 disabled? If so enable it using the Sooloos configure program and try an import if it works then it would point to your QNAP configuration.

Service is down. Someone else started a post too. I have only been at this a few weeks, but it doesn't seem that reliable.

It worked for me this morning.

Seems back on again. Does anyone know who handles the metadata for Sooloos?

Meridian do.

I was importing files yesterday and with the first file I could add decent sized artwork (1400 x 1400) without a problem, as has always been the case.

Then with subsequent attempts to import it shrinks all the artwork down to 225 x 225, irrespective of the original size, and irrespective of whether it is dragged to the import box or included as a jpeg in the folder being imported.

All of the metadata turns up as it should.

I was using the previous version of Control:Mac and so moved up to the latest version, but without any improvement.

Has anyone else seen the same issue recently?

Thanks,
Ross

Have not seen this. I just imported an album for which a 1400x1400 image was in the same folder. It's still at the same resolution after import.

If you point your browser at:

http://<core IP address>/debug/albums then look for the problem album and click on the [dir] link, do you see the cover in the original size there?

For example, I see:

cover.img02resize170.jpg File
cover.img02resize256.dds File
cover.img02resize256.jpg File
cover.img02resize512.dds File
cover.img02resize512.jpg File
cover.jpg File

The last file should be the original.

Thanks for the help.

When I looked, the main jpeg is only 225x225. It turns out that the browsers have stopped saving the full size image when I find it on google. They will only save that small preview-type size, and now I have to work out why that has suddenly started, when the day before it happened to After the Goldrush, I had pulled in a full-size one for Harvest, using the same save-and-drag to the picture frame in Control:Mac.

Weird. Thanks again for the help, and showing me how to access the files.
