Hi,
I'm switching my music library from Plex Media Server to Asset R4.4 Debian x64 on ubuntu linux (big improvement, thanks a lot!). I've been mostly able to get it to do what I want, except for one thing. Artist Sort handling seems to be completely broken in my install. Whatever configuration I choose, the different sort tags are completely ignored, e.g. Gerry Rafferty appears under G, and never under R. I hope that you can help me out. Here is the debugging that I have already done:
Anything else I can try? I'll try to attach my config dump
Thanks in advance,
Davy
I'm switching my music library from Plex Media Server to Asset R4.4 Debian x64 on ubuntu linux (big improvement, thanks a lot!). I've been mostly able to get it to do what I want, except for one thing. Artist Sort handling seems to be completely broken in my install. Whatever configuration I choose, the different sort tags are completely ignored, e.g. Gerry Rafferty appears under G, and never under R. I hope that you can help me out. Here is the debugging that I have already done:
- I have tried with flac (ogg vorbis comments) and mp3 with id3v2.3 and id3v2.4. I have also tried deleting the id3v1 tag from the files.
- Artist, artistsort, artistsortorder, albumartist, albumartistsort and albumartistsortorder tags are present and identical for a given artist.
- I have tried each of the settings for Artist Sort handling, the result is identical
- I have checked under different tree configurations: Album Artist / Album, Album Artist, Artist / Album, Artist, with or without A-Z listing
- I have restored the default settings by removing my ~/.dBpoweramp directory
- I have tested with and without 'Combine Duplicate & Similar Artists'
- I have tried disabling all appending options for track numbers etc
- I have tried different configs for the multi-disc options
- I have tried with and without 'Contributing Artists with Main Artists'. This should not matter, I don't have any contributing artists in my test library
- I have tried with the BubbleUPnP control point, the Windows 8 built-in UPnP browser, the 'djmount' linux app, and my Denon CEOL N9 built-in browser
- I have tried with 'The' handling on Smart, and Leave as is. 'The' artists (but not album artists, is this not implemented?) are correctly resorted according to the specified settings
- I have looked at the SQLite database. t_artist has the unsorted value in 'storedvalue', but 'sortvalue' is empty for all. Should have done this first, would have saved me a lot of time. In the uMediaTable, t_artist and t_album_s_artist reference the correct row, the related 1,2,3 fields are 0
- When doing a rescan all, the debug Library log mentions the 'adding new track', counting tracks, combining artists, and detecting split compilation albums steps, nothing about sorts, and no errors.
- I have of course done many, many rescan alls...
Anything else I can try? I'll try to attach my config dump
Thanks in advance,
Davy
