Dan, Believe me, iTunes drives me nuts too. I don't want Slimserver to do everything like iTunes (but Smart Playlists would be cool!). I won't go crazy, I promise. Regards, -Eric -- egauthier ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have tried with the nightly 6.1.2, then went back to 6.1.1, then went to nightly 6.2. Somewhere along the way, my problem with that specific artist was fixed. However, I am still having the problem with other artist/songs, I just don't know who they are. I currently have a discrepancy between iTunes and Slimserver of 90 songs and 208 artists!! This is driving me nuts. Regards, -Eric -- egauthier ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

* egauthier shaped the electrons to say... I currently have a discrepancy between iTunes and Slimserver of 90 songs and 208 artists!! This is driving me nuts. SlimServer does some auto-identification of Various Artists albums, and doesn't include those artists (often with single tracks) in the Artist Count. Please don't go crazy - just because we don't do something exactly like iTunes doesn't mean it's broken. :) -D -- fuz deregulation will lead to greater competition, consumer choice, and lower prices. my name is elmer fudd.

I am having exactly the same problem, running the 6.2b1 - 4156 nightly. Many artists and albums are missing from the library while browsing even though I can search the library and find them. I have tried rescanning, rescanning with clear library set, and exiting slimserver then deleting the database then restarting slimserver, all to no avail. The d_scan looks clean, and the tags are fine. This started happening about 3-4 weeks ago. Anyone else seeing this, or have any ideas for what could be happening? Thanks in advance for your help. -- markc ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

A quick update: Unistalling the recent slimserver nightly that I had installed, and re-installing the 6.1.2 maintenance branch fixes the problem for me, so it must have something to do with the most recent changes to the nightlies. -- markc ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Have the missing albums been filed under Various Artists? Recent functionality in the 6.2 release means that Slimserver will do this if the compilation tag is set - I don't know if this is also in 6.1.1. -- mikerob ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Mikerob, Thanks, but no it doesn't show under Various Artists. It is the strangest thing. An Advanced Search for the Artist doesn't find the Albums. When I search for a song that I know is there, the search results show the artist correctly. However, the one album that does show up normally under Browse by Artist shows the artist id as 1491 when I hover over the link. When I hover over the artist link in the search results of the missing song the artist id shows as 848. All of the missing tracks have this artist id. So, it appears that there are 2 different artists being created for the same artist string. I have verified with a tag editor and in the iTunes Library.xml file that the Artist strings are identical. I am running a rescan right now with d_info to see if that can tell me anything.

Dan's put in a few fixes over the last few weeks for issues similar to this. If you're game, you could try the nightly builds to see if the fixes for your problems have already been implemented. In general, I've found the nightly builds very stable once I adjusted to the new behaviors (particularly those related to Various Artist albums).
