Bug Reports / Re: Podcast "Episode Date" not sorting correctly

« on: April 13, 2021, 11:46:47 PM »

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but it looks like the episode number is part of the title. If so, sort by  the title and the episodes should be in the order in which they were released.

I tried that, but clicking on the "Title" header doesn't sort them (clicking on "Episode Date" does try to sort them, but they still come out in the wrong order)

Bug Reports / Podcast "Episode Date" not sorting correctly

« on: April 13, 2021, 07:58:19 PM »

I recently restored all of musicbee files (including audio files) to a new computer and my podcast now episode are displaying in a strange order. This is happening to multiple subscriptions. It looks like there's multiple date-time formats being used for some reason. I tried changing my short date format in my windows settings, deleting a few episodes and re-downloading them but that hasn't fixed it (isn't really a usable solution to re-download all my podcasts again).
.
All of those episodes pictured are files restored from my old computer so I don't know why they would have a different date format from each other. Is there a way to mass-unify the date format on these files? Or make it sort them via the actual order they were released...?

Questions / Migrated to new windows install - now many files can't be found (v3.3.7491)

« on: April 03, 2021, 09:52:37 PM »

I use MusicBee to download and listen to my pod casts. I recently migrated to a new windows 10 (from windows 10) install, and after restoring my MusicBee files, Music Bee can't find most of my pod cast files. It's really weird, for a given subscription sometimes half of the files will be found, but the other half not. Some subscriptions none of the files are found.

When I did the new install of windows, I ended up with a different user name than the old install. But other than the user name, the file paths are the same. Eg,

C:\Users\oldUser\Music\MusicBee\
C:\Users\newUser\Music\MusicBee\

After I installed MusicBee, I copied the config from AppData/Local/MusicBee and AppData/Roaming/MusicBee from the old install to the new user's AppData directory, over writing anything that was there.

I tried "Relink Music Files Path", going from
C:\Users\oldUser\Music\MusicBee\
to
C:\Users\newUser\Music\MusicBee\
and it did nothing.

I tried dragging and dropping the files, and just created duplicates of everything.

I tried File -> Scan for New Files and Folders and selected the MusicBee folder and it didn't fix anything.

I tried double clicking on missing files and pointing it at the right one, but there's too many for that to be feasible.

Finally, I tried Tools -> Locate Missing Files. I did this for each subscription, when I "found" one file it seemed to find the rest for that subscription.

I thought all was good after that, so I closed MusicBee. An hour or so late, I opened MusicBee up to listen to a pod cast and all the "missing" files were missing again.

Please help me fix this, I'm tearing my hair out.
