I'll check, I thought rembo had it fixed.

 

Git has turned out to be necessary for the other plug-ins as sickbeard and CP_v2 do not reliably update without git

 

EDIT: Actually, remembered incorrectly, it was couchpotato that had the issue with git, I had originally used git to pull headphones, but when git was installed couchpotato tried to auto-update, which was broken. Couchpotato_v2 has fixed the issue

Hmmm.. any idea what might prevent an update then? It reloads and the log refreshes so it feels like it updates but the version number is never stored so it is constantly telling me to update.

It is probably updating fine. Headphones uses a version.txt file for its version info and is most likely not finding it. I can't remember if it was headphones or one of the other apps but one was placing the version.txt in the wrong spot...

 

Is it telling you to update in the plugin settings or in-app? If its in the plugin settings ill look and see why my script isn't finding it, if its un-app there isn't much I can do but ill raise an issue on github about it

 

UPDATE: I'll raise an issue, it is getting an error even if you check for an update so the in app updater isn't working properly. I'll test tomorrow to make sure its not git causing the error but I seem to remember it working fine in my tests in the past

Thanks, Influencer. Let me know what you find out.

FYI: Update seemed to fix itself... now running latest version.

Rembo10 pushed some updates in the past couple days dealing with the updater, probably fixed the errors,

Has anybody else found Headphones using a lot of CPU?  I've had to stop it because Python was putting my server under heavy load

I've had the same issue.

I wonder if all the .AppleDouble files its scanning has anything tondo with it.

Any install/plugin available yet?  unMenu install maybe?

There's been a plugin available..

 

Get it Here

After a few minutes of heaphones running my unraid webpage stops working.  Any ideas?  I am a beginner so if there is a log or anything I can look at you will have to point me to it. Thanks!

Hm. Seems headphones has been using 30-40% of my CPU lately. (It's been scanning my directories for over a week now). The process name "python" likes to rise up after about a day of scanning. I stop headphones, it stops the high CPU usage.

 

Roughly 30,000 songs, 220+GB. I've had to kill headphones so Plex can transcode to my Roku.

Headphones is very much a work in progress, and unlike movies, which at 220 GB would be a pretty small collection, 220 GB of music can be pretty large, taking a lot of time to scan and a lot of processing power for everything headphones tries to do in the background.

 

I personally have never seen a spike like that in CPU usage, but I could see it happening. Especially if you are not using a custom server as MusicBrainz will deny access 9 times out of 10 due to throttling. This means for every song it pretty much has to try to get info 10 times, making your 220 Gb about 2.2 TB, or 300,000 songs. Big difference,

 

Headphones has to get the list of songs & artist name, get artist information and discography, match songs, and download the information you want. Doesn't seem like a lot but its doing this for every song(I believe thats the chain of events anyway, haven't looked at the code in depth)

Yes, that's why I donated $10 and got access to Headphones' members only VIP server. 

Indexing goes MUCH faster! 

I'm cheap, lol. I set up a personal server for the initial scan, then switched back to the public server since it doesn't hit the server nearly as much

I assumed it needed to process a ton of data, but I didn't figure it to push my CPU so high. I had a MusicBrainz virtual box setup for awhile there, but ended up removing it when I switched my HTPC to a Roku. I don't even really need Headphones, it was more or less just checking it out.

That's all I've really done, I turned it off for now, it kept downloading albums by artists I've never heard of

I had to uninstall a older version a couple of weeks ago. I just installed the new version 1.7 today. The interface looks a little different. I cannot seem to find were I can configure settings. there is nowhere to set up my searches or music directory. What version if the current working version. I have the newest from your site.

The plugin GUI has nothing to do with the search settings, you only have a place for data dir and install dir, everything else is set up from the apps gui

Sorry That is what I meant. there used to be a link on the gui to the settings but it is now gone. I now have to type tower:8084/manage or /config to get to those pages.

It chrome problem. If I try it in firefox it works fine.

Settings shows up fine for me in Chrome. You access settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right. I outlined it in my screen shot.

 

It seems like when Headphones an album and the post processing kicks in it creates directories like so: 755 drwxr-xr-x nobody:users

 

which makes it impossible to later write to that dir via samba with a user belonging to the the users group. I need to login and alter the perms to 770 every time

 

it there a solution to this? thanks

Make sure you are on the latest version of headphones(as I don't remember seeing the option in earlier versions). I couldn't find it in the config options for headphones, but if you open the config.ini in your headphones data directory, there is a line for folder-permissions, change that to 775 or whatever you want.

I don't know if it's a problem with Headphones itself or unraid but Headphones reports I am 27 commits behind but when I try and update it, it reports it is trying to restart as usual but never seems to update as I still get the same message about being behind. The same happens if I try and update from the plugins page on SimpleFeatures. Any ideas?

I'm in the same boat, but 16 commits behind. I think mine has never successfully updated...I'm a noob to all this so not sure what to do..!

 

Hopefully someone might enlighten us..!
