Why do I have so many errors in my log?

[Mr_Withers]

This is hopefully my last post on my Melco/Minim issues!

I looked at the Minim og and it appears to be littered with various errors, I've no idea why, having a little bit of OCD I'd really like to sort them out if at all possible.

Couple of random ones

Error: chunk data extends beyond form size in WAV file import_CD/Fink/Perfect Darkness/01 Perfect Darkness.wav (length 70388807)

and

Warning: conflicting ALBUMARTIST values ignored for file import/2014-12-09/Gone Girl (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)/13-Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross-Empty Places (Reprise).flac
first conflicting value: Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
second conflicting value: Trent Reznor

Most of the errors appear to be the same as the above two.

Not sure whether any of them are causing issues or conflicts or how easy they are to correct?

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance!

I can't help with the first error, but the second indicates that you have multiple album artists for the track. Album artist is a unique value for an album and you should have only one. In the example shown, I would make the album artist "Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross." If you want to show the individual artists, you can add them as track artists, where you can have as many artists as you like.

The WAV file is not correctly formatted - use something like dbPoweramp (or other music converter of choice) to do a WAV to WAV conversion on the affected files, this should make those errors go away.

[Mr_Withers]

Thanks for thst chaps, much appreciated.

I've converted one album via dbPoweramp to WAV and have altered the album artist tag on another, the melco database is rescanning as I type this - once it's done I'll take a look at the log, fingers crossed! If they work I can sort out 90% of the errors relatively easily, bit time consuming, but if a jobs worth doing......I'll post a few of the other errors once the lions share are done.

Thanks again

[Mr_Withers]

Right, that worked both of those examples I highlighted in the first post are now no longer in the log, which is good!

I'll get rid of the rest and come back regarding the other errors.

Cheers

[Mr_Withers]

I've got rid of the majority of the errors, here's a selection of some of the remaining ones. Any pointers would be great!

This first error is the most common type, there must about 50 errors of this type.

Error: unexpected end of file at offset 0 in file import/2014-12-09/Dan Auerbach/Keep It Hid/11 My Last Mistake.flac (length 0)

half a dozen like this one below....

Maybe 25 like the error below.....

and lastly

Warning: conflicting ALBUMARTIST values ignored for file download/highresaudio.com/Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell/Old Yellow Moon/Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell - Old Yellow Moon - 08 - Bluebird Wine.flac
first conflicting value: Emmylou Harris
second conflicting value: Rodney Crowell

I know the above error in the same as the one I posted earlier, but if the album artist needs to be unique and Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell are the 2 artists in question I'm confused about how to make it work correctly. There's half a dozen albums left like this one.

Thanks in advance

Error: unexpected end of file at offset 0 in file import/2014-12-09/Dan Auerbach/Keep It Hid/11 My Last Mistake.flac (length 0)

I'm not sure but I think this means the file is corrupted. You may have to re-rip or see if you can verify it's playable on some other device. I seem to recall there was an issue with files converted or ripped with JRiver, were they converted or ripped with JRiver by chance? We may need more expertise than I possess on this.

This indicates that you have an issue with a disc subtitle on the track. If you use disc subtitles , all the tracks in a disc must have the same subtitle.

MinimServer internal error
We may need Simon or someone with more expertise to weigh in on this one as well.

Warning: conflicting ALBUMARTIST values

For albums like this, again the easiest approach is to make the album artist "Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell", then set each one as individual track artists. So for all tracks, "Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell" is the only album artist, but each track will have two track artists.

[Mr_Withers]

Thanks for that, a big help

Error: unexpected end of file at offset 0 in file import/2014-12-09/Dan Auerbach/Keep It Hid/11 My Last Mistake.flac (length 0)

I can easily check these files for corruption on both the Melco and other bits of kit

Don't need the discsubtitle so easy enough to remove I guess.

It's this one that hurts my head. Would I be correct in thinking the best way to do this with this particular album would be to the AlbumArtist set to "Emmylou Harris & Rodnet Crowell" and each individual track on the album has artists set as "Emmylou Harris" and "Rodney Crowell" separated by a , or a ;? does that even matter?

I've got a good handful of albums with the same error

Or is there a better way to do it?

Also discovered

Unsupported: ID3v2.3 frame is encrypted at offset 102 in file import/2014-12-09/Sheryl Crow/Detours/10 Diamond Ring.mp3 (length 10073259)

No idea why it's an MP3 mind!

Thanks

Yes, that's exactly it. I'm not sure what tag editor you're using though, so not sure about the proper separator. I think if converting with dbpoweramp you use "; ". If you have a Mac, the Metadatics app lets you add each track artist one at a time.

No clue on your new error.

Regarding the MinimServer internal error, I would very much like to see one of the files that is producing this error so that I can debug the problem and fix it. Can you upload an example file to something like Dropbox and send me a link via PM? If not, I can PM you details of my FTP server for file uploads.

Regarding the offset 0 / length 0 error, this is a file with no contents (zero length).

Regarding the "ID3v2.3 frame is encrypted" message, MinimServer does not support reading encrypted ID3v2.3 frames.
