[Solved] load metadata

Post by psmoorf »

Hi,

I found a problem after I changed some configuration parameter.
If you disable the option: show_media_library_folder you don't get the metadata any more.
I don't know if it is intentional like that or if it is a bug.

(show_media_library_folder = false) -- disable library folder AND the metadata

I hope it's helpful for someone

I think must be a bug. I am using the latest build and I don't see the option to show the media library anymore.

Instead if you hover over the Resume checkbox it comes up with the tooltip for the media library.

All the other options in that section don't have working tooltips either but can't remember if they had them before.

There was something similar a few versions ago that when you don't show the media library it would turn off the "Enable the cache" instead. That was fixed but something might have broke again.

What version are you on?

Check your UMS.conf in "C:\ProgramData\UMS" and see if it is toggling the "use_cache" option.
The very next option in the conf is "show_media_library_folder" so the IDs of the checkboxes in web settings may be off by 1.

I'll make an issue for this on Github.

Hi,
im using the version 13.4.0 on Ubuntu Linux.
The use_cache Parameter is set to Default (true).

Setting in the menu looks like in your screenshot.
So I will have a look to this "bug" in the future.

Thanks for testing and response.

I have tried the latest patch and it has fixed the missing option for me but now I see what you meant with the metadata not showing.

If I have "Show Media library" on I get this
Show Media library.jpg
Show Media library.jpg (194.15 KiB) Viewed 10712 times
But with it turned of I get this instead
Hide Media Library.jpg
Hide Media Library.jpg (69.62 KiB) Viewed 10712 times
This should only hide the virtual folder for the Media Library but not prevent the display of metadata.

I think the Media library should always be shown anyway when using the Web interface as it is a big part of that, and the "Show Media Library" option should only be used for other renderers.
