Import_music

z-vap

So i just started using the Funkwhale server for my music, mostly because I see it supports the Subsonic API. The one thing I am having trouble with is the import_music function. I used the AIO docker, noticed its going to become deprecated, and then generated the SuperUser. I then started to look into how to scan my music.

My NAS share is bindmounted as such
-p /Storage/Music:/music:ro
... and the FW gui sees it as such, in the Library "Import music from your server"

After looking in the docs, and github, i finally noticed a reddit thread that seemed to have the correct 'manage' commandline, with the library id and music path at the end. I ran it and it seemed to work.

But what about future entries, I know the server itself wont see those until i rerun that same command. Or would it be safe to just use the import button at "Import music from your server" and stop worrying?

Personnaly I use the button of the ui, it works just fine 🙂 before I had a cronjob that was doing the import automatically every x days

petitminion On that option: it seems to me that it works but only imports around 1000 Songs at a time. Where can I change the batch size? I am running funkwhale on a yunohost server and have symlinked my music-directories into the according funkwhale directory for in-place import, and as said, it works in principle but the batch is tiny. Also it needs quite a while until i can start the next batch (i assume some importer script running in the background?)

Aaaamu It will launch the next batch automatically, you just have to select your folder and fw will handle the rest. You can import various time the same folder, duplicates will be ignored.
The only issue I'm aware off is that it timeout after some time so with very big libraries this might be a problem.
