Database bug for generic albums??

[sgm]

I believe I've proven to myself that SlimServer messes up when creating the slimserversql.db file from stratch *IF* there is an album with the following tags:

album = album
artist = artist

I use those generic tags when ripping sometimes and then go to FreeDB or where ever later to do the proper tagging. If I use the tags above the resulting album (named "album" of course based on the tag) does not point to the right tracks, but to the tracks of some other album.

I tested this by deleting and re-creating the entire slimserversql.db file several times with the same result. I then changed the tags (using Tag&Rename) to be:

album = album1
artist = artist1

and recreated slimserversql.db file one more time, and voila the album (now named "album1") is correct.

I've had this happen more than once. It seems that using the tags:

album = album
artist = artist

is confusing slimserver when it builds the database.

Good, you should file a bug report at
bugs.slimdevices.com<http://bugs.slimdevices.com>so you can get some
movement on your bug.

Ah, so I can go directly to doing a bug report -- will do.

I am new here. I was sort of expecting a "confirmation" discussion to verify the bug before I reported it.

Posted as bug #2559

confirmation is useful, but you may get sent directly to the bug
reports by some posters anyway. it forces someone else to do the
confirmation

Sometimes that works and happens. However, bugs that are filed are much more
likely to get fixed than those that are passively discussed on the
discussion list/forums, in my experience.

Well, in fairness he spent quite a bit of time himself validating the bug
with very detailed description of the steps involved -- it's not a classic
cast of "it's broke, fix it TIA!". If all bug reports in
bugs.slimdevices.com <http://bugs.slimdevices.com> were as detailed as this
one the developer's life would be easier.
