Re: [slim] Selecting Genre followed by artist shows ALL genres for that artist. How to change?

First, it's generally good practice to use the real artist name for the
Artist tag, rather than using V/A. I mean, the collection of tracks
-- whether from a compilation or simply your collection of singles --
may have various artists, but the track itself has a specific track
artist(s).

For your current problem, check your settings via the SBS web ui. For
your purposes, under *Settings  My Music  Filter genres at the album
 track level* you should probably select *Only show tracks or albums
matching the selected genre for an artist*. If you already have that
selected, then I'm not sure what to recommend.

Unfortunately that's already selected, and yes, that setting really
should do what I want it do to -but it doesn't.
I have a V/A artist because I don't want a list of hundreds of artist,
so when I only have a single song from an artist the get labelled as
V/A.

EDIT: It works fine in the Squeezecenter itself, just not with my
Android app, so I guess that's where the error lies.

If that's the case then yes, the problem is with your Android app. 

As for your other issue of avoiding a listing of hundreds of artists,
you can avoid that by simply using the SBS option to group artists for
compilation albums. Unfortunately, not all software is as good about
providing this option, but that's how you would do it with SBS.

[slim] Selecting Genre followed by artist shows ALL genres for that artist. How to change?

2010-12-15 Thread djon

I have a genre called Xmas. Most of my songs under Xmas are with artist
V/A since it's a lot of single tracks and not albums. Under artist
V/A I also have a lot of other songs from other genres.

When I select genre Xmas - V/A, I'd expect to only get a list of the
songs that are from the Xmas genre, but instead I get a list of ALL
songs with artist = V/A. How do I change this behaviour?
