    MediaDatabaseFields

    I am trying to add some new fields.

    I've always used the most current file like "MediaDatabaseFieldsv(*).txt IN the AppData\Roaming\dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary\ folder.

    Currently on Version 6 (file version 6.0.0.1)

    File added new fields to is MediaDatabaseFieldsv6.txt

    But after doing a complete reload and dumping the DB I do not see the new fields.

    Has something changed?

    Try adding the new fields to MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt and not MediaDatabaseFieldsv6.txt.

    Sorry, I'm not sure why that is. I have Asset R6.1 for windows and have added a custom field to MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt.

    Running uMediaLibrary-dumpdb.exe and my custom field appears in the output text file.

    If Asset is running as a Service, then the location you have is incorrect (that is for the local account).

    Running as local account.
    Certain I am looking at the right folder based on file modified dates when full refredh done.
    I already have numerous custom tags set up.
    Is there a maximum number of custom tags allowed?

    Just to confirm, the folder is %appdata%\dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary?

    ... also, can you post the MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt added lines for your custom fields?

    Got it to work.
    New fields must be added to the end of the file.
    I had added one to the end and one inserted with other custom tags so they would be grouped together with similar tags for ease of management.
    When I reverted the file to what it was before making any changes and added both new fields to the end of the file it worked as expected.

    Hmmm, I don't think so. My custom field is not at the end of the file. Perhaps the syntax was incorrect on first try.

    Anyway, at least you have it working now.
