Headphones - Music albums & artists auto download program

nowei · 2012-05-12 22:34

Ok, so I have this installed, pointed it at my music directory an hour ago with "automatically add new artists" checked. I have 0 artists. I know it's working, as I get an error every now and then that it couldn't parse a purchased aac file, but as 99% of my stuff is mp3 with good tags, shouldn't I see at least a few artists in there by now?

Odd. If I add an artist manually it's like it's in the database, it finds what i have by that artist. So I need to manually add the people who I want to watch for new stuff?

It appears I was just impatient. Once it scans it all, it starts to add them.

Wrong again, it added some, but not all. Odd.

Is it just here or can't we use torrents to download albums? If an album is downloaded it's not renamed as it should and thus Headphones can't parse it... Or am I missing something?

Hey folks.
Please have a look at my first iOS app, HP ctrl, the mobile companion for Headphones! Smile

I am loving my installation of Headphones... What a great software.

I have a question. Mainly, I am running it on an unRAID server... I would like to be able to have 2 separate installations for Headphones on same machine. I can install them on separate folders and start them individually like this:

Code:

python /path/to/folder1/Headphones.py -d -p 8091

python /path/to/folder2/Headphones.py -d -p 8092

So basically I have my own version which will download music to a specific folder containing MY music, and my wife can do the same for HER own music folder. I would configure each version to point to the different folders and give them their own SAB categories. I really do not want to mix my library with my wife's library.

Currently I have one Headphones running on unRAID and another running on one of my OpenElec HTPCs. It is working smoothly, but I prefer to just run them on the server.

Is this possible?

EDIT: The answer is... YES YOU CAN...!! So far so good...I will post anything if I run into issues.

Thanks,

Hernando

If you like the new interface, consider donating a few bucks to elmarkou (the designer):
PayPal link: elmarkou@gmail.com

He's freed me up to do some serious work on the backend. Some improvements coming:
-Fixing torrent post processing
-Fixing "library sync", i.e. showing the number of tracks you have. Sort of hit-or-miss at this point as it depends on metadata
-Caching artist & album images which will speed up page loading
-Mobile UI
-Stability issues
-New notification backends
-Other stuff :-)

Anyways thanks again for the support. It means a lot to me and you'll be getting headphones 2.0 as a result :-)

Oh another huge thing that's coming is the ability to handle your current music collection!

So like, adding album art after it's already been post-processed (if it didn't find it originally), adding lyrics to your collection, stuff like that :-)

That's the direction headphones is heading. Hope you guys like it! :-)
