Thanks for posting this, but that is completely another bug then that that you reported in your last post and completely another problem that we already talked on the previous page of this thread. As I already said to you before and as I already mentioned in the Important section of the first post of this thread: "This add-on could only restore data from/to some backup file, it cannot restore the current database with itself. You need to have already made the backup file before you get some problem with the current database - nothing can be done if you don't have it."Thamesvalley wrote:Files are uploaded.

I already explained to you that you should not specify your current database file in the Backup database file text box of this add-on's dialog box. So, could you tell me what did you specify as the Backup database file when you got the error mentioned in your previous post ("Type mismatch: 'CLng' on the 2804 line)? If you specified the current database as you did on the uploaded video you would get the "database is locked" error instead, but not "type mismatch".

Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
Everything started with the replacement of my raid 1 array. I have one disk crashed.
So, made some manipulations and then, I saw my tracks were seen but I could not launch any of them anymore. They all were faded.
I tried to import the db, but failed. I dropped the library and rebuilding it; then retry to import db but failed.
Obviously, before posting, I tried to re-import the db from the default directory. How can I guess I couldn't ?
What do I have to do to restore efficienttly and quickly ? Does it work or not ?

If you have retained the same folder structure for media files as before crash, maybe you could use my Update Location of Files in Database add-on instead.Thamesvalley wrote:Everything started with the replacement of my raid 1 array. I have one disk crashed.

You still didn't answer to my question. What did you specify as the Backup database file when you got the "Type mismatch: 'CLng'" error seen in the screenshot? Could you upload that file to the file server instead of your current database?Thamesvalley wrote:I tried to import the db, but failed. I dropped the library and rebuilding it; then retry to import db but failed.
Yes, the restore works, but only if you have a backup database file. You cannot import data from the current (active) database into itself, there is no point for such thing.Thamesvalley wrote:I tried to re-import the db from the default directory. How can I guess I couldn't ?

Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
I changed the defect hdd and no datas were lost.
However I had to backup to an intermediate hdd. So, I replaced the datas with the same drive letter. No dammage encountered for my files.
I got the type mismatch clng with the same file mm.db
I've never had any other file than mm.db. Consequently, I cannot upload any other file.
The backup were made with Backup utility. See capture.

OK, I have fixed that problem. Thanks for the report.Thamesvalley wrote:I got the type mismatch clng with the same file mm.db

I don't understand.
What do you mean by update location ?
What should I do to solve my problem ?

You said before that you "made some manipulations and then, I saw my tracks were seen but I could not launch any of them anymore. They all were faded." Such problem exists after upgrading drive that has different serial number and because of that the location of files in the database is different and consequently all files in the tracklist are grayed. So, the mentioned Update Location of Files in Database add-on could be used in such cases.Thamesvalley wrote:What do you mean by update location ?
The Update Location add-on is mentioned in the Important section in the first post of this thread as an alternative to the Restore/Synchronize Database add-on that could be used in specified cases. It is mentioned on the download page of this add-on as well.

Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
Does this even work? I can select the database but the export and import buttons are greyed out.
Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
Yes, it works. The export and import buttons are enabled only if you have at least one matched track between the active and backup databases. This add-on currently cannot import tracks from the backup into the active database, but only their data (metadata, playlists, playing history...). However, you need to have matched tracks to be able to do that.shanemorales wrote:Does this even work? I can select the database but the export and import buttons are greyed out.

Request for Script GUI:
Would it be possible to add "Select All," "Select None," "Invert Choices" on the main window for the choices under "Restore metadata in Songs & other tables"? I had to do a number of import because of a crashed HDD and this would have eased my speed of using the script.
Thanks for an awesome script that has saved my butt quite a few times.

Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
Hiya
Am I right in thinking that this will merge two DB's into one. The reason I am asking is that my main DB is on my laptop at my place of work, but there are times that I have time at home to add some newer files and what I would like to do is then take the home DB and merge it into my main DB.
If so what settings would I need to do that please
Thanks in advance
Steve

Thanks for that, when you say their data do you mean, title, artist, album etc
Re: Restore/Synchronize Database 3.1.2 (2013-08-31) [MM3+]
Yes, of course. The mentioned metadata include title, artist, album etc. Please read the first message of this thread and you will see what data you could import/export.
