I have discovered a possible Bug when using Multi Encoder. Maybe its just a limitation like the fact that you can't implement a overwrite check.
For a specific device i have set up a conversion, where the following dsp actions are included:
1)-add ID-Tag "Original Artist", set to "0"
2)-Map "Artist" to "Original Artist"
-map "Album Artist" to "Artist"
This is done because the device sorts everything by "Artist" and ignores "Album Artist", so finding any song that is part of a Compilation or that has a featuring would otherwise be very difficult.
I still want to retain the additional information in the filename, if there is any, so i create "Original Artist" and use it in the naming scheme.
When I do so with a standard conversion, everything works fine.
When I apply the same settings in Multi-Encoder, "Original Artist" is correctly tagged, but in the filename it gives me nothing. Signs like "-" that are bound to the existence of that Tag are written, but in the filename it is just followed by blank.
For example:
This is my naming scheme:
In Multi-Encode it gives me filenames like this:
If i do a single conversion or apply "Arrange Audio" with the same settings afterwards i get this, as intended:
This is a special example, but simpler ones produce the same behaviour.
But this should show more clearly which part is missbehaving.
Searching for new files and applying Arrange Audio is an easy workaround, but i thought maybe its something to improve.
Im happily providing more information, if demanded.
