i realized that Dianemo is double tagging mp3s.
i am using an external windows software for tagging the files.
if i - e.g. add an correctly tagged album to dianemo it looks ok.
If i change something for example Album to something else externally, than dianemo resyncs it, but adds the new album as a second album tag in each file. So the album tag is existing 2 times. and the album is existing two times.
Same is for all other tags.

One possibility to explain why the suggested fix in 1485 did not seem to work is that you will need to restart the MySQL server (or reboot) after applying it. You could re-apply the fix and restart MySQL server.

Andrew, of course i did a restart - or better said, i tried to. After that i got the error message posted above.
Even a reboot doesn't fixed it. mysql will not start up causing system not to work right (everything which is related to mysql)

I'm also not totally clear as to what the problem is: do you get "file not found" or is it a display problem, where you get squares where the accented characters are?

Most of the times its only a mater of display. Doesn't look nice.
Secondly is, that sometimes because of that albums are broken into 2 or more "albums" e.g. "Bäst of", "B|st of " etc.

like possy said before, we did that a long time ago in linuxmce and changed the database.

Andrew,

the "recommdation" didn't broke anything, i removed it again and system is running as expected.
BUT, the umlaut problem was never working since i am using dianemo. Long time ago we fixed it in linuxmce.

So again:
i am tagging my mp3 - because of the hughiness - outside of dianemo.
In Germany and some other european countries we got some characters, like the german umlaut or french accents etc. If the UpdateMedia finds such a file, it is imported, but the ä ö ü is converted to some other character.

surely it is about the character set. The encoding of the mp3 tags in the files it utf-8 or utf-16.

Furthermore, sometimes after updating tags outside of dianemo (and linuxmce), when e.g. the album title was changed (from bla bla to blabla extended edition), updatemedia seems to save both of the albumtitels to the mp3 (or database), same for performer, and titel.

I know that isn't always a bug, but wanted, in case there are various performer, but in case of album titel and titel, it doesn' make sense at all for me.

Andrew,

can you take a look at that issue please?

Marc

did that already.
thx anyway

After making those changes, the restart of mysql brings up following error message:


120624 11:24:12 [ERROR] COLLATION 'utf8_general_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'latin1'
120624 11:24:12 [ERROR] Aborting
120624 11:24:12 [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete

This is an issue i had long time ago with linuxmce.
It seems not to be fixed in dianemo.

So if i have utf-8,16 or iso tagged mp3 with an Umlaut in the title or performer, than dianemo will convert it to a different unreadable character.

so how should i tag my files, to have them right in to dianemo?

(don't know, how many times i re-tagged them outside of dianemo)

Dear Andrew,

my NC is directly connected via hdmi to a lcd tv.
How every, sound and audio is working, but i have no ability to control the volume. neither of the soundcard" nor of any other device, like sonos, squeezebox, wd live or other connected mds.

Also mute is not working.

Do you have any idea about that.?

I sent Murcel Installer 1.16

Andrew

Thanks for your support. Worked like a charm.

Dear Andrew,

like written in the wiki i did a fresh install of 12.04.
After that i used the license and installer 1.11 (self updating?), to start dianemo installation.

it suddenly stops with installation failed. Just before it couldn't fetch some things from ppa.launpad.net/nkoegler/

Maybe you have a newer installer?

Look at the KNX/EIB page in the wiki. It is all there.

Did that :-)
Posde, i have choosen a minimum of products, just for testing. Can you please have a look wether its complete or s.th. is missing?

SCN-P360D3.01 PIR
STV-0160.01 PSU
SCN-IP000.01 IP/KNX
AKK-0406.01

Or do i need s.th. else?

* posde is happy with regular KNX PIRs, which all have a function to turn on a specific device for a few minutes.

Posde,
do you have a suggestion for a minimum knx starter kit? Which products, i believe you have :-)

Someone in this office found a fix, and his email reads like this:

This applies to the "nvidia" driver, but might work with others too. I haven't verified it though.

Hey Uplink, brilliant, that fixed it.

That being said , I would GUESS that that window is supposed to maximize, and it didn't. I am sure one of the helpful folks at Dianemo will have an answer in short order.

Yes i ask them several times, but they are just guessing it has someting to do with resolution :-)
But like always at lmce, rule no. 1, be patient !
