We are pleased to announce the release of SongKong 9.3 Aerial
Support For Docker version 2
We used to automatically try and detect if SongKong was running on Docker system, and if so we then used the special virtual folder /songkong for configuration. However, this method does not seem to work correctly with Docker systems using cgroup2 such as recent versions of Unraid. We have now changed this so we have special docker build so that the docker version of SongKong will always be configured to work for Docker.
Improved Reports
In the Browse by Folder section of reports the album covers have green success badges for each folder that has all songs matching MusicBrainz/Discogs and orange warning badges when they don’t. However, it was not possible to easily detect when all songs are matched to MusicBrainz/Discogs but not the same album, this is now improved so in these cases the badge will be a warning badge
For example in this screenshot although all six songs in Best of Eddie Cochran Folder folder have matched to to MusicBrainz the MB badge is orange because they have been matched to two different albums
and you can use set the MusicBrainz filter to No Full Album Match to filter such situations
The two different MusicBrainz matches can now be clearly seen by selecting the folder. This display has also been improved so that is shows more information in the summary so you can clearly see the basic metadata information without having to select the song. If you do select the link in the filename column then the full details are shown for the selected song.
We have also improved the Matched to MusicBrainz and Matched to Discogs sections so you can now see how many songs have been matched to MusicBrainz/Discogs release. If the album has been matched completely then the badge is green (success), if not the badge is orange (warning)
Improved BoxSets
We have made many improvements to the BoxSet algorithm including some fixes.
Create Support Files
We have simplified Create Support Files so that instead of entering details about the issue you just enter the url of associated topic on the forum, it is much easier for everyone if we can track every issue on the forum.
Performance of Song Loader
We have improved the performance of the song loader used by Fix Songs, and improved the logging done by the MonitorExecutors process, this writes a summary of the state of all active tasks every 5 minutes to help with support and performance analysis.
