LMS scan (quick vs long) and MusicIP

[SlimChances]

One more thing: you can see that the second screenshot is from a full
wipescan. It shows the number of tracks as reported by MIP. Whereas the
first screenshot would be a "import my tracks only" scan. I assume (can
check the code, if you want) that it's the number of tracks LMS assumes
could be mixable, rather than the number of tracks which actually are
mixable.

LMS scan (quick vs long) and MusicIP

I wonder if this is a bug with the scanner for LMS. If I scan my library using the quick option(Look for new and changed media) it gives me a larger number of MusicIP results than if I scan with the long option (Clear library and recan). The latter scan reflects the results of a MUsicIP scan. All the pictured scans were done withing a half hour with no changes to my library. I have noticed this occurring for years through many versions of LMS, Does it matter or effect how MusicIp is implemented by LMS?First pic is a quick scan and next is long scan and last is MusicIP scan

LMS scan (quick vs long) andMusicIP

The two scans indeed use different methods to import data from MIP:
wipescan would bulk download the full list, then parse that list. Rescan
OTOH would look up tracks one by one, assuming that it would only have
to do this for a smaller number of tracks (IIRC - I might be wrong
there, it's been a while...). Therefore I wouldn't be suprised if there
was a slightly different experience.

What would http://localhost:10002/api/getSongCount (or whatever
host/port you're using) return?

24500

mixable.

The mixable songs are 24494 and total songs are 24500
There are in fact over 50000 tracks in my library but I confine MusicIP to FLACs in specific folders

I don't care if the numbers don't jibe if it does not have an impact on how MusicIP works on my system. Because of the discrepancy I have tended to to a clear libbrary and rescan. However recently I have started using Dynamic Playlists3 and a Clear Library/rescan wipes out some playlists I create for some reason

Does that mean a lot of your tracks don't have MusicIP fingerprints? I found that when I had a large section of my library that wasn't analysed by MusicIP the unanalysed tracks would always be scanned during a new and changed LMS scan.My solution was just to analyse all my tracks even if I had no intention of allowing MusicIP to select them. I use a filter in MusicIP to screen them out.

The tracks I want to use MusicIP have fingerprints. The other folders in my library that I don't want to use MusicIP I don't scan. I will look into filters. Are they implemented in MusicIP or LMS or both?

LMS still scans the folders though. Filters are defined in MusicIP then selected in the LMS MusicIP plugin settings.
I stopped using the standard MusicIP plugin and replaced it with "MusicIP mixer". This doesn't require LMS to import the MusicIP info at all.

I don't see MusicIP Mixer in the list of plugins how is it implemented?

There is a repo to add. See this thread.

Thanks I will try that. Does it still use MusicIP fingerprints and do I need to do the "MusicMagic server" scan at http://localhost:10002/server ?

Looks promising

EDIT: I have installed the plugin and I am reading the thread you linked.Thanks @Startibartfast

Yes it still uses the fingerprints and the MusicMagic server.
