Using the acoustic fingerprinter in vlc-git

I have successfully compiled the git version of vlc against chromaprint:

Code: Select all

andrew@corinth:~$ vlc -l | grep finger VLC media player 2.1.0-pre1 Rincewind (revision ef2377a) fingerprinter Track fingerprinter (based on Acoustid)


but I cannot see in the vlc preferences or standard menus where I can activate an acoustic fingerprint search. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Try the media information dialog

Thanks for looking at this issue! When I look at the Media Information box I simply get the usual 4 tabs: General, Metadata, Codec & Statistics. I coulod see no option within those tabbed windows for the fingerprinter. My apologies if I am missing something basic.

Or are.

Just open media info when a -file- is opened.
Fingerprinting option should appear, giving you the ability to fill missing or overwrite meta info.
