Pip install errors....

Bug Description

Hi Antoine, so I wanted to give your stemgen a shot :-)

pip install gave errors:
20240724 Antoine Stemgen install.txt

so I wanted to give the dockerthing a shot. I have about 10 dockers running on my NAS, but haven't installed docker on windows. running your docker gives a failure.
On my NAS I could create a nice config file where my network, map bindings etc are listed, can't find it on windows.
I can't get the env right I suppose.
Can you write me a line to convert A:\Stem\ToDO\Gloria.m4a ?
I tried with / and \ and // and \
docker run -v /A:/Stem:/A:/Stem -it --rm aclmb/stemgen:0.2.0 \ /A:/Stem/ToDo/Gloria.M4A

Thanks
PS I'd prefer the python because the docker is eating my diskspace, I will remove it again.
PPS the pyenv-win thing is used to give different py's another version of python, somethings don't work with newer versoions and vice versa

Version

docker 0.2.0

OS

win 10

Hey Evelynne, thanks for giving that a go!

Likely, you won't be able to install the pip package because it requires you to have the TagLib v2 installed on your system, and that can be a nightmare on Windows machine. Going forward, if any Windows dev read this, I'd be happy to get contributions in to have taglib installed by the pip installer, but likely not something I'm going to do right away as I'm not using Windows enough to know the correct way.

When it comes to running the Docker container, same again here, Docker and Windows is pretty upsetting. Make sure you use Docker in Linux mode or WSL.

Could you please share the error message you are getting ? I believe you should be able to do something like this:

docker run -v '/A/Stem:/A/Stem' -it --rm aclmb/stemgen:0.2.0 '/A/Stem/ToDo/Gloria.M4A' /A/Stem'

Note you might want to try following as well if you have a NVidia GPU

docker run --gpu -v '/A/Stem:/A/Stem' -it --rm aclmb/stemgen:0.2.0 '/A/Stem/ToDo/Gloria.M4A' /A/Stem'

Let me know if you get any errors!

Bonjour,
The taglib is used to copy the metadata drom the original file to the stem, right?
That is your perfectional instinct, but maybe that's overkill and not direct needed to create the stems.
Since years there's a great tool to edit/copy/clone ... metadata: MP3Tag, the nice thing is the import/export part (fi export the title of a list of files to txt, edit and re-import) and the flexibility (all kinds of music files).
It's possitble to copy 'all' tafs from one file to another (just ctrl-c ctrl-v) and there is the scripting function.
So I think the metadata part isn't that important.
I will do some extra tests without the pip install.

I agree it would be great to have it optional, but unfortunately, it isn't that simple with Python.

The way I use this tool is to batch convert many files (100+) into stems, so having to re-tag them individually and manually, including adding artwork isn't that user friendly and not quite realistic.

Thanks! If I get the time, I will also give that a go in a Windows VM

So do I, 4à 500 per night, with mp3tag I copy all tags from the original to the destination in 1 (one) action (artwork included)
select all files in source dir -> ctrl-c -> select all files in destination dir -> ctrl v
done!
it takes a littlebit longer because the files are bigger but in less then half a minute the tafs of 500 files are copied. (with artwork)
