Showing multiple Titles, can't play all of them

[patrickschulz]

My player is showing each title of an interpret three times, but i can only play one of them. Playing a 'wrong' one shows OdysseyPlaybackService:IOError. I put a .nomedia file in my music library directory and updated the database there (in odyssey). Now there are only two entries per title remaining, only the broken ones. It seems to me that there is a link stored somewhere, but the file is not actually present on my device. Any idea how to fix this? Is it possible to reset the state of odyssey to its default?

Hi, it seems to me that there is something wrong with the android mediadatabase on your phone. Do you see these tracks in other music players as well? A reset of odyssey will not help because we didn't hold our own database and just use the mediadatabase provided by the system.

I actually have no other music player on my phone, but I will try. Since there are music players maintaining their own database, can you recommend any player i can test this on?

Hi, you could try this one https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla/

I tried it with vanilla and here it works fine. In Odyssey, i still get the error. I attached a screenshot showing the same title three times, only the last one is actually playable.

An logcat output of this situation would be nice 😉

Sorry, i'm new to android development, so i am not sure what one should include. Here is the logcat output while clicking on a title that produces an error. The filter i used is: ExtMediaPlayer-JNI:V MediaPlayer-JNI:V OdysseyPlaybackService:V audio_hw_primary:V MusicFXControlPanelReceiver:V *:S'

Here is the output:

The OdysseyPlaybackService says something about an IOError Exception, but there is not much more to that.

Thanks for your help.

It looks like the error is not caused by the track you want to play but the next in queue. Unfortunately we have no useful debug output for exceptions in the current stable version. I've added a debug output to the exception that should help. An test apk is located here: https://owncloud.cs.tu-dortmund.de/index.php/s/KmGBi4yYcxMJXfN

Sorry i took so long for the reply. I tried the debug version, but i can't see anything else in the logcat and the application. How can i access the debug output?

[djselbeck]

Logcat should print the paths that causes problems. Try filtering for GaplessPlayer

I'm sorry i took so long for this answer. Thank you for your help, unfortunately, i can't reproduce the error anymore. Now only one title "per title" is shown and they can be happily played. Strange. I guess i updated my media database somehow, although i don't really recall to do something else than before. If i find something i will post it here.
