A conundrum - how to troubleshoot

[d6jg]

2 installations of LMS
One on Linux box and one a Pi
Both use the same media files - on a NAS and identically mounted via NFS

In the following screenshot you will see that there is a difference of 1 album but 40 files

There are also differences in the Perl and Audio::Scan versions

The question is how can I compare the 2 libraries to find where the difference lies i.e. has anyone any magic ideas?
Export the album tables into excel and compare side by side?

I would think you could open the database in a sql workbench. And write a query to do it.

But likely the issue is the Audio::Scan version.

I found it - by pure chance.

A Qobuz album - Crossroads Revisited , 40 tracks. As it is Qobuz that won't be anything to do with the Audio:Scan version difference.

I did a clear and rescan on both LMS before posting so .....

Do other Qobuz albums appear on both machines?

Yes. Qobuz is otherwise complete on both instances of LMS

Done some more digging.
It is a problem with this one album on Qobuz alone in conjunction with the older version of Audio::Scan on the Linux server vs Pi server.
It’s OK on a third server also Pi but running a version of 8.1
Basically the scanner doesn’t add it to my library.

@michael - if you think this is worth investigating for others (I’m not bothered as moving fully to Pi shortly) then I will switch on scanner log and do a clear & rescan and submit results.

It’s this particular album

Please enable Qobuz logging instead. And upload the scanner.log to

Uploaded scanner.log zip
I had a quick look and the album is found by the scanner but not put into library as far as I can see. Nothing in full text search.

Today I had occasion to re-look at this as the 2 servers became slightly more out of line than they were before - now 2 missing Qobuz albums

I stumbled across the cause - it was the following "Play samples" setting in the Qobuz plugin.

One of the two servers had it checked the other did not. I checked it ON on the server with 2 missing albums and rescanned and hey presto we now have the same numbers in both libraries BUT .....

I already knew that one of the missing albums was "Crossroads Revisited by Eric Clapton" - having looked more carefully it doesn't have Samples but Qobuz state that the FLAC version is only available for purchase/download so its given me MP3 versions in my Library instead. I still don't know what the other missing album was.

This suggests that the "Play samples" switch doesn't quite work as intended ????
