problem with checksum on importing files

    I have set up a new airtime (2.4.0) for a new radiostation but when I try to import files the field checksum and md5 in cc_files is empty. And that of coarse causes some problem if you upload two files with the same ID3-data.

    What can it be that is going wrong? Is it any way one can rebuild the checksum?

    which file types do you use?
    I got no problems with equal metadata in different mp3-tracks and currently got about 20 of them in the library.

    Just normal mp3 files.

    I don't think this is because of equal Checksum/MD5.
    I've had problems uploading mp3-files containing more than ~80 characters in an ID3-Tag.
    So maybe this is just has to do with the number of characters in a Tag-field?

    What does "sudo airtime-check-system" say?
    What do your logs say? "sudo airtime-log --dump" (packs log-files in a tarball at home)
    Are your rejected files being moved to "/srv/airtime/stor/problem_files" (if you didn't change the folderlocation while installing)

    And what is your goal using MD5/Checksum in ID3-Tags?
    I don't see any benefit of using checksums in Airtime. But I'm open to hear some.
