Error:Metadata Lookup (invalid mbid.) / Error: Metadata lookup (undefined)

Post by IanRTaylorUK »

Whilst using Auto-Tag, I get these errors for a particular track(s) / file(s).

Do I need to worry about this?

How might I clear / fix?

I can also confirm. I get the error message every now and then.

If this is not documented anywhere, then it is of no use. With a few thousand songs you don't have an overview.

Which build I am using is in my signature

Please capture the error in a debug log (step 4b) and attach it to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why this happens in your setup.

Hi,
Also If you can supply us DL Link for at least one sample track that observes error would be also valuable.

Hi,
:( Unfortunately I can't replicate. Maybe it temp Metadata Server error. If it happen again maybe log file will show more.

Hi Peke,

Here's the error log (ran Auto-Tag Ctrl+L several times) and associated video.

I do not get the same error with MMW4 but will try swapping the files from my D:(MMW4) and E:(MMW5)... Essentially, they are the same file as "cloned" a while back.

OK, so instead of above, just used the Folders node to point to the "OneDrive" copy I sent previously AND my MMW4 D:\...\Music\... All 3 locations / copies give the same error! This was one a many files with this sort of error that came up when I checked "Lookup missing information via Auto-Tag (registered users only) option under Add/Rescan files to library...

It would be good to know if there is a fix.

I just got this error while testing for something else....

Interestingly it was while doing a lookup on a track I had just auto-tagged a new title, but for which no image was found.

Hi Rob,

I can confirm that I still get this error with the most recent release of MMW5 - 2682 - for the files mentioned previously.

I do not get the error message with MMW4.

I checked this "simultaneously" by selecting the same file on a Windows 10 / MMW4 vs Windows 11 / MMW5.

Does not seem to have any other impact. Hope this helps.

That is odd, because I am getting same error today for same file. Will try several times to confirm.

Also odd, if I remove the title, autotag re-finds the title in spite of also giving the error message.

Other files do not display this error.

Bear in mind that this file was successfully tagged earlier yesterday, with no error message, so it seems autotag has added something which causes it.
