Browse Library - Genre questions

[Club1820]

Hello.

I dont even have my squeezebox yet but have set up the server software and scanned my tunes. I am not sure if this is supposed to work or not - but when I browse by Genre, then select an Artist within that Genre - it lists all of my tracks! All 4000 of them under a given Genre/Artist!

This cant be right? So are you not able to see the individual tracks under a Genre and then an Artist listed under that Genre?

Thanks for you responses!

Yeah it should do what you expect - only show the artists in that genre.

- check your tags using MP3Tag
- under 'server settings - behaviour' there is an option for what to show based on genre browsing, but it seems to make no difference to me. Anyway, it should never do what you are seeing. So it's a tag thing.

Sorry about that, I forgot that bug is viewable only by admin and developers. I'll summarize:

Bug 4824: behavior setting: filter genres at album & track level broken.

It seems the filtering behavioral options is broken.

It seems to me that selecting the option "Show any tracks & albums for an
artist" (within a genre selection) should show exactly that, any tracks and
albums by said artists.

Reproduction steps summarized:

Server settings -> behavior -> filter genres at the album & track level -> Show
any tracks & albums for an artist.

Browse -> Genres -> (choose a genre) -> click all albums -> click all artists.
SlimServer doesn't show all tracks and albums in said genre, it shows all
albums and artists in the library regardless of genre.

Ross, so are you saying that yes, it is a bug that I can't see the tracks listed under a given Artist when browsing by Genre?

[Ross L]

Erland, you are correctly describing bug 4824, it is an issue when you browse -> genre -> artist, and yes you must select an artist to reproduce that bug. However, this is not what Club1820 *originally* described.

...when I browse by Genre, then select an Artist within that Genre - it lists all of my tracks! All 4000 of them under a given Genre/Artist!

Erland, it seems you're not seeing bug 4824, interesting. What version of SlimServer are you running?
