I tried BETA 2 several times yesterday.
Each time it would scan the 25K FLAC and MP3 files in the folder I used for the test.
But the Asset catalog would be empty, 0 tracks and 0 albums.
When I dump the contents of the library using uMediaLibrary-dumpdb.exe, all that it has is album cover meta data.
For the last attempt:
1. Installed 6.2
2. Successfully scanned the 25K files
3. Copied all versions of the MediaDatabaseFields file (identical copies for v5, v6, and v7) to a backup folder
4. Copied all versions of the AssetUPnPDefinedBrowseTree file (identical copies for v5, v6, and v7) to a backup folder
5. Ran V. 7 BETA 2 installation, which first uninstalls 6.2
6. After 6.2 uninstalled and computer rebooted I deleted allversions of uMediaLibraryMainDB*.bin file and all versions of ArtStore*.bin file
7. Proceeded with completion of installation of V. 7 BETA 2
8. Copied all versions of the MediaDatabaseFields file (identical copies for v5, v6, and v7) from the backup folder to the production folder
9. Copied all versions of the AssetUPnPDefinedBrowseTree file (identical copies for v5, v6, and v7) from the backup folder to the production folder
10. Restarted Asset
11. Did a full scan
Same results. Album cover meta data, no data for FLAC or MP3 when dumped - not even a header with the field names.
But the Asset catalog would be empty, 0 tracks and 0 albums.

Perhaps there's an error in MediaDatabaseFieldsv7.txt, if so you could get 0 tracks and 0 albums. Have you added anything in this file?
Also, what do you mean by "identical copies for v5, v6, and v7"? I've never seen a v6, and v5/v7 is not compatible. So I hope you're not using MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt in R7 (if that's what you mean).
Stop asset from running (control page), then delete everything in that uMediaLibrary folder, start asset, then change the path to your music library if you have to, then trigger a rescan.

Thanks.
The "v6" ones are non-operational - I think I just saved them to have documented what was in use then.
Got it right now.
Figured out how to define single-entity fields and multiple entity fields.

Very happy!
Nice job.
The only problem I have is with the "album artist" tag.
The values get scanned and parsed, but all of the containers below them are empty.
I have attached the browse tree and media files.
Album Artist / Album{_no_track_list_}{_a_to_z_}
Album Artist / Album\Album
does that work, if so then try:
Album Artist{_no_track_list_}{_a_to_z_}
Album Artist\Album
Same behavior.
I scanned just one item with 8 tracks (4 FLAC, 4 MP3).
Attached is the dump.
It looks like the indexes at the bottom have multiple items combined as t_artist (Artist, Album Artist, and Composer.)
Is that by design?

I loaded the same files in 6.2.
See same there with t_artist, so that is likely not the problem.
It is strictly with browsing "Album Artist".
I indexed the custom tag ALBUM TYPE in beta 3 and made the tree ALBUM TYPE > root, but it doesn't work. In Asset Control, I can select an ALBUM TYPE and return to the root, but when I go on selecting ALBUM the listing is empty.
This gave me some headache until I tried the same with some variant spelling:
ALBUM TYPE - does not work
ALBUM TUPE - does not work
ELBUM TYPE - working
ELBUM TUPE - working
So it would seem that anything starting with ALBUM doesn't work, except ALBUM and ALBUM ARTIST of course.
(I didn't use ALBUM TYPE in beta 2, so this is tried in beta 3 only)
