Database for Audirvana Studio on linux headless

Studio
1

Hello,
I have just entered the world of Linux by purchasing a Sonore sonicTransporter i5 server running SonicOrbiter with Audirvana Studio pre-installed.
When first loading the database of audio files I forgot to toggle the MusicBrainz to on so that any missing/incorrect metadata would be updated.
I now have the database populated but without any metadata corrections.
Therefore I now need to delete the database (sqlite file) so that I can re-scan the audio files (with MusicBrain toggled on) to create a new database.
However, as the sonicTransporter is headless I can’t find the sqlite file to remove/rename it before re-building the database.
Please, where can I find it?
Many thanks

Hi @Dinx53,

If you uninstall and reinstall Audirvāna Studio, it should remove the file automatically.

Many thanks. That did the trick!

Uninstalling and reinstalling Audirvana on my Linux distro did not remove an offline library from my Audirvana remote (headless). I added the correct library and it seems to work however I would like to scrub the offline library if possible. the solution did not work for me.

What distro (this makes a difference regarding the location of the database file)?

6

Zorin Linux. I understand it’s based on both Ubuntu and Debian. I am running on an old 2009 Mac mini (2009). It runs really good.

Issue the following commands:

sudo systemctl stop audirvanaStudio

sudo systemctl disable audirvanaStudio

sudo apt-get purge audirvana-studio

sudo rm -rf /home/audirvana

Then reboot and reinstall. You will have to re-add the correct library and re-do the rest of your preferred settings.

Thanks so much for your help. Will the same commands work if I am using Audirvana Origin?
Should I maybe replace Studio with Origin in those commands?

9

Yes, whatever the systemctl command (service name) and package name are for Origin should be used.

I performed the procedure twice with the same results.
I have used the exact commands replacing Studio with Origin, and studio (lowercase) with origin where appropriate.
The first 2 commands don’t acknowledge such services on my system.
The 3rd command does uninstall origin.
I’m not sure what the 4th command does, because it just returns to terminal prompt.
I then reboot, reinstall Origin and the remote still sees both the offline and correct libraries.
I don’t believe this is a problem except for knowing a non-existent library shows in the list.
If you have any further ideas, please let me know. I appreciate all your assistance.
Thank you Jud.

  • What command do you use to start Audirvana when you first install it?

  • When Audirvana is installed, do you see a /home/audirvana directory (using your file manager and/or the ls command)? If not, do you see a .config and/or .local folder in your /home/[your user name] directory?
