[slim] Re: Same album title, different artists
I downloaded the 8/24 nightly for 6.2. Erased my slimserversql.db file. Installed. After the rescan, the duplicate album names that I HAD listed in common album titles seem to be fine, with one exception: The Hits by REO Speedwagon is listed 6 times. This is probably because I listed song year for those that I knew. The duplicate albums titles that were NOT listed under common album titles are still all grouped together. Examples: X by Various Artists shows one album by INXS and one by Def Leppard, all mixed together. Stand Up shows three albums all mixed together one by Dave Matthews Band, one by Jethro Tull, and one by The Del Fuegos. Note that on once case the Album shows Various Artists and in the other, no artist is shown in the Album list. This goes back to my original message #1, for which there is already a bug report (1378). Do you want another bug report filed since this is still happening in 6.2?

[slim] Re: Same album title, different artists
If I install the 6.2 beta will it treat duplicate album titles by different artists as separate items I didn't get an answer to this yesterday so I just went ahead and tried the beta. The answer is no. So why was 6.2 beta suggested to me? It actually makes things worse than before. I took the album titles 'X' and 'Stand Up' out of the common titles listing, wiped and rescanned, and they are are still grouped under one album with 6.2. The responses in this thread led me to believe this would not be the case. I left the album title 'Shine' listed under common album titles and now it is listed 3 times when it only should be 2 albums (by Cyndi Lauper and Daniel Lanois). For some reason the Daniel Lanois album is split up with half the songs under one entry for 'Shine' and half under the another. I've looked at the tags and they are correct. Also in this 6.2 beta I can no longer generate a MusicMagic mix either from the WebUI or from the player. -- MeSue Sue ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know it's being worked on. By the way, most of the duplicate album names that I left in the common titles section are now listed multiple times for the same artist. I did the logging of d_musicmagic and the problem only occurs when I have certain filters selected for the mix filter. It works fine for some filters and with other filters I get nothing.

[slim] Re: Same album title, different artists
It does require a rescan. There is already a bug open for this - the complication is (was) that slimserver tries to pickup Various Artist Albums, where Album title is common but Artist isn't. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Ok, I guess I'll have to find all the duplicate album titles and put them in the common titles for now. Grrr. I think I found the bug you mentioned (1378?) and I voted on it.

[slim] Re: Same album title, different artists
* MeSue shaped the electrons to say... That must be in the 6.2 nightlies. I've been sticking with 6.1. I'm not sure how it relates, though, since the issue I described has nothing to do with various artist albums. What is needed is support for the AlbumArtist tag, I think. 6.2beta has support for the ALBUMARTIST tag.

[slim] Re: Same album title, different artists
Does the common album titles setting support wildcards? If so, then I could just put something like * in there to have it match artist and album for everything. Is there a performance reason why artist and album aren't automatically compared for everything? -- MeSue Sue ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
