Bugs / Re: Auto Mark - doesn't seem to be doing anything.
« on: February 28, 2016, 21:35:07 »
Generic recommendation:
1) Don't enable tags comparing at all (in options) if you have big amount if audio files.
2) Decrease thresholds for 2 other algorithms and see results, you always can unmark all items.
3) Always set needed priority/folders/extensions.
4) New 2.0 version has javascript support, you can easily write any marking script even without deep knowledge of programming.

News / Version 2.0.2 released
« on: August 27, 2015, 10:36:43 »
Download 32-bit version

Download 64-bit version

Changes list:
  • Introduced support for user written scripts (Javascript language). Many users ask very specific features that don't suitable as main feature of program, to not overload program interface most of this request will be implemented via scripting. You can write almost any script to compare/analyze/tag your collection and of course mark by any criteria with Similarity.

    Example of analysis script with user defined rating (analysis.js sample):

  • Updated all decoders to latest version
  • Added support for 2 new decoders: Opus Interactive Audio Codec, The True Audio (TTA) codec


  • Player/Spectrogram/Sonogram window autosave position
  • Fix cache synchronization
  • Huge amount of minor fixes

Bugs / Re: Theres is no %content displayed in the analysis
« on: July 29, 2015, 00:49:12 »
Is there a way to compare short files? Files with a duration of 1-2sec.
This files compared in Premium version with each other, short with short, they can't be compared with long files.

Hi support,

I am a Mac OS X 10.8.5 user: will there be a new beta for this version soon? Thanks for the support.
We release new version soon (August month) for OSX too.

Bugs / Re: Progression and time remaining
« on: July 21, 2015, 00:16:01 »
The main problem Similarity scans folder recursively and don't perform deep prescanning, we think about solution, but this isn't priority.

« on: March 01, 2015, 23:05:11 »
Files too short, Similarity uses 4rd special algorithm for such, it shown in precise tab. Content doesn't calculated for them. Normal algorithms calculated to files with duration 30-60sec.

Wishlist / Re: Browse... and select
« on: February 08, 2015, 17:31:33 »
We already send command to select file in Explorer not just folder.
What Windows version do you use ? Is this files hidden or read-only ?

News / Beta version 2.0.0 (Technical preview)
« on: February 03, 2015, 17:45:41 »
Similarity 2.0.1 build 2055 (Updated 2015.07.05)

Download (32/64-bit Windows)

Main feature of new 2.0 version will be support of Javascript scripting. We already added some support in this beta version, you can try it.
Many users ask very specific features that don't suitable as main feature of program, to not overload program interface most of this request will be implemented via scripting. You can write almost all you need to compare/analyse/tag your collection with Similarity.

Similarity JavaScript API reference
Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.





Known limitations:
  • No yet support for multithreading (JavaScript engine singlethreaded) (Added 2015.02.17)
  • No I/O functions (file streaming)
  • No include
  • No image comparing (added soon after audio api stabilizing)

Example of analysis script with user defined rating:

Code: [Select]
// after preparing analysis data (asynchronous)
function onprepare(file, result) {
    // skip all not audio files
    if (!result) return;
    // add to results list
    results.analysis.add(file, 'rating', myrating(file.analysis));
}

// file processing callback (asynchronous)
function onfile(file) {
    // just try to receive analyse data, if it has such data this is audio file
    analysis.prepare(file, onprepare)
}

// folder processing callback (asynchronous)
function onfolder(folder) {
    // recursively process subdir with same callbacks
    process(folder, onfile, onfolder);
}

function myrating(data) {
    var score = 1.0;
    // sample rate
    score *= 0.5 + 0.5 * (Math.min(44100, Math.max(22050, data.samplerate)) - 22050) / 22050;
    // bitrate
    if (data.bitrate > 0) score *= 0.5 + 0.5 * (Math.min(128000, Math.max(64000, data.bitrate)) - 64000) / 64000;
    // max.freq
    score *= 0.5 + 0.5 * (Math.min(18500, Math.max(12000, data.maxFreq)) - 12000) / 6500;
    // stereo/mono
    if (data.channels == "mono") score *= 0.5;
    // clipping
    score *= 0.7 + 0.3 / (0.01 * data.clips + 1.0);
    // dynamic range
    if (data.absMax < 0.75) score *= 0.7 + 0.3 * (Math.max(0.25, data.absMax) - 0.25) * 2.0;
    // dc offset
    if (data.absMean >= 0.05) score *= 0.7 + 0.3 * (0.1 - Math.max(0.1, data.absMean)) * 20.0;

    if (data.minStep >= 0.00004) score *= 0.5;
    return score;
}

// clear all results in program
results.analysis.clear();

// start processing files via callbacks
var folders = settings.folders;
for (var idx = 0; idx < folders.length; ++idx) {
    process(folders[idx], onfile, onfolder);
}

Changes 2015.02.17:
  • Introducing asynchronous callbacks, speed difference between native algorithms of Similarity and Javascript scripts between 2% (without OpenCL)
  • Removed isaudio, file tested in prepare, queue functions automatically
  • audio.prepare, audio.queue rewrited and they can be asynchronous
  • Added analysis.prepare
  • process, audio.compare always asynchronous

Changes 2015.07.05:

Thanks, we try to improve comparing algorithm in new year, we already have developments for new comparing algorithm.

Bugs / Re: Similarity has suddenly stopped working
« on: February 01, 2015, 09:45:08 »
Clear all files in "%appdata%\Similarity" folder (enter in Explorer), very likely some curropted autosave file.

Bugs / Re: decoder.exe stays after closing similarity
« on: February 01, 2015, 09:43:28 »
That's mean they hang up by some 3rd party decoder, try to disbale some decoders in Options, see http://www.similarityapp.com/help/options-decoders

General / Re: Change cache location?
« on: December 21, 2014, 17:59:59 »
Yes in normal installation config.ini located in "C:\Users\<currentUser>\AppData\Roaming\Similarity\config.ini" (shorty "%appdata%\Similarity\config.ini"), you can launch Similarity with portable mode switch (/portable) to store every file in same folder with main exe module.
Windows UAC protection forbids writting into "Program Files" directory for any program without Admin permissions.

New version has this feature, you need to edit ini file with configuration add text line:
CachePath="d:\\"
Just be sure you using build 1941, previous 1940 had some issues.
