Proper syntax of multi-value fields in MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt
Hi,
I´m using dBpoweramp for ripping, PerfectTunes for editing tags and AssetUPnP as Music Server. I´m using multi-value tags when ripping classical music, unfortunately only the first entry is shown both in PerfectTunes and Asset.
Here is an example of what I´m typing in, e.g.:
Artist: Sviatoslav Richter; Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
Artist Sort: Richter, Sviatoslav; Fischer-Dieskau, Dietrich
The MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt (and the IDTagDatabaseFields.txt for PerfectTunes) looks as follows:
title,0,NVARCHAR(150)
t_artist,3,INTEGER
t_artist_sort,3,INTEGER
t_album artist,3,INTEGER
t_album artist_sort,3,INTEGER
t_album,0,INTEGER
t_genre,3,INTEGER
year,0,INTEGER
track,0,NVARCHAR(10)
disc,0,NVARCHAR(10)
t_composer,3,INTEGER
t_composer_sort,3,INTEGER
t_conductor,3,INTEGER
t_conductor_sort,3,INTEGER
compilation,0,INTEGER
t_style,3,INTEGER
Opus,3,INTEGER
t_orchestra,3,INTEGER
t_chorus,3,INTEGER
t_soloists,3,INTEGER
t_soloists_sort,3,INTEGER
Label,3,INTEGER
Instrument,3,INTEGER
Does anybody have a clue why only the first of the multi-value entries is shown in the generated lists of Asset and/or PerfectTunes? Am I using a wrong syntax of the fields?
Thanks

This is by default in asset, only the main artist is shown. You can change that by selecting (in the configuration 'Contributing artists with Main Artists')

Hi Spoon,
thank you for instant reply.
I've set the checkbox in asset config as suggested, now it workes. Although I get two entries for Artist: Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, one containing 2 albums, the other one the rest (10+CDs), no album shown in both. I`ll investigate further, maybe some inconsistency with naming in the sort fields.
Re impact of the check box 'Contributing artists with Main Artists': Does this mean, all entries in the fields 'Album Artist', 'Artist', 'Soloists' are merged? Are there any other fields that are merged into 'Artist'?
As I posted initially under PerfectTunes: Any chance to get multi-entries shown in PerfectTunes (at least the first 4)?
Thanks

Perecttunes will only browse by the main artist of the track.
Asset does not merge 'Album Artist', 'Artist', 'Soloists' to artist, only multi artists.

Hi Spoon,
understood.
Re PerfetcTunes: this explains why multi-entries are overwritten entirely when single suggestions/recommendations are accepted, e.g. in the 'Sort Tags' window. I would like to put multi-entry functionality on the wishlist for PerfectTunes!
Cheers
