Help needed

[Jay1530]

hi,

First off I am a complete noob at coding and I'm trying my best to configure my Beets using the doc, but I have run into some problems. The first one is the gstreamer plugin. When I type ''pip install gstreamer'' I get this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gstreamer (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for gstreamer

I have managed to install ''gstreamer-player'', but I am not sure if this can be used for acoustic fingerprint.

The second problem is in my yaml file, more precisely in line 10 and 11 column 1 :

configuration error: C:\Users\jerem\AppData\Roaming\beets\config.yaml could not be read: while scanning a simple key
in "C:\Users\jerem\AppData\Roaming\beets\config.yaml", line 10, column 1
could not find expected ':'
in "C:\Users\jerem\AppData\Roaming\beets\config.yaml", line 11, column 1

Here is my code so far :
directory: ~/music/Music After Beet library: ~/music/Music For Beet/newlibrary.blb import: move: yes threaded: yes paths: default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/$track - $title ($bitrate) singleton: Non-Album/$artist/$title comp: Compilations/$albumartist/$album%aunique{}/$track - $title ($bitrate) languages:en jp plugins : fetchart lyrics discogs pyacoustid gstreamer

I am on windows 10, if any other info is needed please ask!

here is my yaml file but in the right form :

directory: ~/music/Music After Beet
library: ~/music/Music For Beet/newlibrary.blb
import:
move: yes
threaded: yes
paths:
default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/$track - $title ($bitrate)
singleton: Non-Album/$artist/$title
comp: Compilations/$albumartist/$album%aunique{}/$track - $title ($bitrate)
languages:en jp
plugins : fetchart lyrics discogs pyacoustid gstreamer

It seems there was a missing space in the ''language'' line

Now I get this, even after rebooting :

** error loading plugin pyacoustid:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\jerem\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\beets\plugins.py", line 268, in load_plugins
namespace = import(modname, None, None)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'beetsplug.pyacoustid'

** error loading plugin gstreamer:

I suggest you add one plugin at a time to avoid multiple points of failure. Note that the plugin names are chroma (pyacoustid is the dependency and not the name of the plugin)and replaygain (gstreamer is a backend and not the plugin).

[Jay1530]

Thank you I am not familiar with these terms, like the naming of my directory and library doesn't really reflect what they actually are lol. I managed to install chroma, but the same error with replaygain :

C:\Users\jerem>pip install beets replaygain
Requirement already satisfied: beets in c:\users\jerem\appdata\local\programs\python\python312\lib\site-packages (1.6.0)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement replaygain (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for replaygain

Please take a look at the documents for each plugin and follow the steps listed.

Chroma - https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/chroma.html
replaygain - https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/replaygain.html

Again, do this for one plugin at a time.

Now there's only one thing not working and it's the fpcalc:

chroma: fingerprint generation failed: fpcalc not found

I have put the fpcalc.exe files (even tried the whole folder and renaming it to fpcalc) in the Program files like the doc said :

Installing the Binary Command-Line Tool
The simplest way to get up and running, especially on Windows, is to download the appropriate Chromaprint binary package and place the fpcalc (or fpcalc.exe) on your shell search path. On Windows, this means something like C:\Program Files. On OS X or Linux, put the executable somewhere like /usr/local/bin.
