MinimServer scans the USB and logs errors, as attached. I have errors on ID3v2 tags, and also TDAT tags (not in screenshot as I fixed those). I can’t see that Mp3tag has a log when it loads the library files? Does it do any error checking at all on load? It would be great if mp3tag could do what MinimServer does, as then you are in the right app to fix the issue, rather than an external app. Possibly mp3tag could also suggest the fix and apply the fix.
Also, if there were such a log file, could it also complain that the Genre tag of a file is not in the list of “Custom Genres” if you are using that option as many files I collect don’t conform to my genre list.
If you want to see something similar right now, you could use a filter or a column to make such files stand out.
The filter could look like "$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,'PopRockDiscoSoulJazzMetal'),0,yes,no)" IS yes
You would have to complete the comparison string with your list of genres.
In respect to the log: IMHO the log of the Minimserver is not very helpful as it does not state what kind of information got ignored.
Also, as shown in the linked thread, MP3tag would not have created a log entry as for MP3tag the data was perfectly OK.
Just do a me favor, add a song that only has the tag Artist and Title
And then add the TAG : Graham and text Mp3
I bet you that Minimserver will start complain about that text.
In that example Extended Tags you showed it's no doubt complaining about DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID and COUNTRY ? or STYLE?
If you don't want errors to appear in MinimServer just keep to (ONLY) the standard tags they support. What they are you have to ask on the MinimServer forum.
MinimServer can support any tag name. There's a configuration property named indexTags that you can use to customize the list of tag names that MinimServer will scan and index.
WOW. Thus that one it accepted it, but others it generated errors.
what happens if you re-save the ones with mp3tag? Just add (for example) an A to title, remove it and press COMMAND + S. I know you can also press COMMAND + S without an actual change but just to be sure.
Yes, it (MinimServer) is inconsistent on the reporting. Notice that the original files in my screenshot are not in the rescan, nothing is. Not touched a thing an apart from the test file. Will wait, as mentioned, MinimServer does stuff in the background, so I will be patient and wait a bit, then review the log.
If you want to see more information about unsupported tags, create a column with the value %_id3v2_unknown_frames%
or filter for files with %_id3v2_unknown_frames% PRESENT
(whether tag fields are unknown is an interpretation of MP3tag. It does not help to find out what other programs have implemented.)
