Config3 not finding all albums version 2.2.17

[Woody]

Barry

I just noticed that when I started freebox(2.2.17) it showed page 0 of 54 (should be 1 of 55) but the real problem is that I recall having somewhere arround 79 pages @ 12 albums per page. I opened up an older copy of config2 and ran it and it found 960 albums, config3 only finds 650 albums. I have not made any changes to to my files whatsoever. I tried to use config2 libraries but they cause juke app to crash.
I reverted to older juke and config2 and that finds all albums and runs fine.

Thanks

Woody     


What the hell ?  I started poking arround trying to find any library problems (I didn't) and I went to the last album that wasn't displaying and found that it had only one song in that album, I put a secound copy of that song in the same dir and ran config3, results looked the same. I ran freebox and all of a sudden the entire library came up (0 of 79 pages)
the missing albums and tracks show and play. This is wierd. Something wierd is happening with albums with only one
track...... I think? I can,t reproduce the problem

Any other reports of this type of behaviour ?

I just ran 2.1.13 and 2.2.17 with identical results however I don't have any albums with singles in them.

I did however notice with 2.2.17 the focus doesn't appear to be on the main Jukebox app anymore. Meaning if another program loads it will cover the app and you have to hide the new program to see the juke app. It was sometimes annoying before because you would have to reduce from full screen to do anything else, but now its well just the opposite.

Woody,

Looks like you just re-created the same issue jonfinpausa is having... He has many albums with just one song in them, so he would see the same thing as you are seeing. I tested it myself, and I could not re-produce it, only because I have all full albums, no albums with just one song in it. So the issue looks to be narrowed down to the one song per album issue. At least now jonfinpausa won't think he's nutts!!

Yeah i think if you have one song in an album it doesn't like it... How many real albums have one song? I will attempt to fix this but i didn't notice becasue i only have real albums.

One of the reasons I enjoy a mp3 jukebox is because you can pick and choose what songs to have on it without being forced to have the full album.

Hey all

I guess I am too cheap to buy a bigger hard drive, I just rip the hits I like and put the cd in storage.

Hi All,

Guess Im cheap too but being a part time DJ I really dont need the whole album, I just need what people will request.Great job on the find everybody because I was really pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was going on.

I should have this fixed tonight and be able to make a release.... 

[jonfinpausa]

Hey Barry, take a close look because I did have some artist with only one album and one song in that one album and I think that didnt show up, but if I had one artist with 2 albums and one album had one song and the other was a complete album with say 10 songs, then both of those would show up. 

LOL not to confuse things anymore... Have a good day Bro

I have an order for a Jukebox, money coming your way as soon as I get the deposit.

So it's more stuffed than i first thought, at least i know what part of the app to look at anyway. Hopefully i will have it fixed.

[jonfinpausa]

Thats cool bro, at least I know Im not crazy now !! LOL

when ever you have time its all good, I was more concerned about the loosing my mind part.

Now Im pulling in out with the Karoke, but im sure its just a matter of time before I get it figured out as well.

[Barcrest]

I actually am loosing my mind.... 

[jonfinpausa]

  LOL

I think I might have found a bug.It would seem if you have an album with more then one artist that album will appear with a Various Artist for the artist name.When you try to add more then one various Karoke album it seems all hell breaks loose especially if you manually tag the Karoke album as a Various Artist and you already have one karoke album that is a various artist.Does this make sense to you Barry or should go have a beer?

Further more it seems the if its a Various Artist album then the config and each artist name infront of the song title on the song selection screen, Im not sure this is a good thing especially if you have a long artist name cause then you cant see the title of the song...its a catch 22 I think.

For various artists you can make it show track title first on the album screen via the options... The other screwy stuff you are going on about i don't have a clue. It only will be listed as various artists if your artist tag doesn't match on every track in that album.

Try the attached config to see if it fixes the issue you had with the albums not showing up anyway.

nope its the same as the other config3.

But the changing the list track first works ... Cool beans.

Still loose alot of albums with the config3 file.

Ill just at version 2.2.11 until you get it sorted, No Problem
I would really like to see the button to remove albums back in the config where it was in config2.
