[campcaster-support] Problems deleting songs from database

    Hi folks,

    I've setup a Campcaster machine as a playout system for a local show
    that the radio station I work at will be attending. I have about 700
    odd songs loaded and everything seems to be working okay (apart from a
    couple of crashes and errors when building playlists).

    Now I loaded a few pre-recorded links on to the machine but it turns out
    the names needed changing. I went into the web interface and removed
    these individually. I got a message saying they were in use but they
    then appeared to be deleted.

    I then tried to batch import a few of the new links but they are now
    coming up as already being in the database despite having a different
    name. I was wondering is there any way of deleting these audio files
    from the database manually? (and also from the machine).

    Ta,

    Rob

    Hi Rob,


    This is a known bug.

    We have a ticket filed for this at this address:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/2218

    There isn't a mass delete tool available as of yet, but I could see how
    that could be useful.

    I know that in the development environment version you can reset the
    storage server completely, but I don't think that'll work in the
    'official' version. I'm not sure if there's a lot of material you could
    stand to lose if you uninstall/reinstall; one workaround might be to
    export the playlists you've created if there are a lot, and then reimport
    the remaining files on a clean install using the mass import script.

    Hope this helps,
