Jinzora One Click - No Media Showing

[gmw]

I must admit I am a little befuddled.
I added 100 tracks to my Music folder, rescanned.
I see the music listed under genre (each artist having a genre), but not under tracks (not intuitive ).

An easy way I found to see all the tracks was to click on the Slimzora icon (the second little icon in the top left).

Bottom line -- if the database is populated then the music is there somewhere -- just a matter of how Jinzora classifies it so it can be accessed.

I have been playing with Jinzora and this seems to be a "how to use" Jinzora thing.
I will play around with it and put some simplified instructions in the Wiki.

Basically, Jinzora is looking for a folder structure as such:

Level 1: Genre
Level 2: Artist
Level 3: Album
Level 4: tracks

If it does not see this structure then it can get messed up display info "on the right"

Thanks for the clarification gmw! I added the four directories to my music folder but unfortunately still nothing.

Does it need to be in the following order: Music/Genre/Artist/Album/Tracks (Tracks inside Album; Album inside Artist; Artist inside Genre; Genre inside Music)? If so did you move all the music into the lowest subdirectory Tracks?

If you think you were befuddled earlier I don't stand a chance

This should work --- uninstall Jinzora.

Create the following folder structure:
Inside the default Music Share:
Put folders for each Genre of music you have
In each Genre put a folder for each artist.
Inside each artist's folder put an album folder.
Put the tracks inside the correct album

then reinstall Jinzora and follow the steps in the wiki.

TO further befuddle you: thought I'd let you know the Ampache music server will be launched on Amahi next Tuesday!

I have the exact same issue. Have records in the db table jz_tracks. e.g. ...

| T49f08b1ea4896 | Alternative/The Whitest Boy Alive/Rules/04_Whitest_Boy_Alive,_The_-_Timebomb_Rules.mp3 | /var/hda/files/music/Alternative/The Whitest Boy Alive/Rules/04_Whitest_Boy_Alive,_The_-_Timebomb_Rules.mp3 | 04_Whitest_Boy_Alive,_The_-_Timebomb_Rules.mp3 | 4 | false | Timebomb | 04 | true | 187 | 44.1 | 5.29 | 223 | Rock | Whitest Boy Alive, The | Rules | 2009 | NULL | 0 | mp3 | | NULL |

Read the item above "Postby gmw on Wed Apr 22, 2009 6:24 pm" -- should solve the issue (Jinzora expects music stored in a certain way for the display on the right to work correctly)

Hey gmw,

The Fedora GUI Add/Remove programs doesn't show Jinzora - is there a command to uninstall it from the command line?

Thanks for all your help! (and patience)...at least you're helping three of us at the same time now

To uninstall:

goto http://setup
select apps tab
select the "Installed apps" sub menu
click on the Jinzora "row" in the table
click the uninstall button.

Uninstalled/re-installed but still a no-go for me - still get the blank screen. I found a forum post on the Jinzura site and we're not the only ones to have this issue (perhaps a php issue with memory allocation, etc). See below for the post and link. I don't have time to try it tonight but maybe this will fix it, sounds like it worked on the Windows WAMP version (see below):

This blank screen drove me nuts too. I have a WAMP installation on Windows XP and I spent ages trying to get this to work.

Start by removing your Jinzora installation. Delete all the files in www/jinzora2 and then drop (erase) the database using your phpadmin tool.

Restart the installation. Make sure you have selected the 'Classic' interface during the install - this is important.

When you finish the install, start up Jinzora and you will most likely get a screen with a single error message on it. Can't remember exactly what it says but it says something about running out of memory.

Next thing you need to edit your PHP ini file in a text editor. Look for the bit of code headed Resource Limits and set it up as below - upsizing the allocations.

Code: Select all
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 300 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Save the file and restart your WAMP installation. Then go to Jinzora and it should work. If it doesn't - and it didn't for me either - then check the location of your PHP ini file. In Wamp, I found I was editing the ini file in the PHP directory - but this is not where the real file lives. The real file can be found in /wamp/apache2/bin.

Simply use the one-click uninstall ..
then edit the php.ini file (as described above) found at /etc/php.ini on your hda

Hopefully that solves it all
