Quoting Cams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Thanks. I did use the RPM installer but am not sure how to see whether that folder exists or how to copy fonts into it. I'm running ClarkConnect 3.2 and have an SSH client. What would be the commands to copy a true type font into that folder? I see from the Slim Devices site that unicode fonts are natively supported in SlimServer 6.2 but that doesn't seem to affect the player. 6.5 builds already have CODE2000 installed, but 6.5 is still considered a development build, only for those who are prepared for certain problems and to help fix. To see if Graphics folder is there (it had better be!): ls /usr/local/slimserver/ to copy the fotn file: cp /path/to/font.ttf /usr/local/slimserver/Graphics Of course, that assumes that you've downloaded the font file to the clarkconnect box.

That's how I have it set, my config file has
variousArtistAutoIdentification: 1
And SS does list them as VA in Browse Artists.
Just not Browse Artwork.

What would sorting by albums.namesort have to do with VA?
Maybe you mean contributors.namesort?
Here's the data in my DB for a VA (multiple artist) album (I've
elided the empty columns):
sqlite> select * from albums where title like "Folkscene%3%";
id = 526
title = Folkscene Collection, Vol. 3
titlesort = FOLKSCENE COLLECTION VOL 3
titlesearch = FOLKSCENE COLLECTION VOL 3
contributor = 308
compilation = 1
year = 2001
artwork = 7518
sqlite> select * from contributors where id = 308;
id = 308
name = Loreena McKennitt
namesort = LOREENA MCKENNITT
namesearch = LOREENA MCKENNITT
I suspect all that's needed is a patch something like this:
Index: Slim/DataStores/DBI/DBIStore.pm
===
--- Slim/DataStores/DBI/DBIStore.pm (revision 5975)
+++ Slim/DataStores/DBI/DBIStore.pm (working copy)
@@ -992,6 +992,7 @@
$::d_import && msgf("Import: Marking album: [%s] as Various
Artists.\n", $albumObj->title);
$albumObj->compilation(1);
+ $albumObj->contributor($self->variousArtistsObject->id);
$albumObj->update;
}
Hopefully you get the idea even if it is not syntactically correct.
I may have time tonight to debug and test this hypothesis.
