Must use Advanced Search to show genre results ..

[kappclark]

I have noticed that searching for songs w/in a particular genre does not show all of the songs..this is a recent build using Ubuntu + LMS .. both players work fine, and rescannong library takes next to no time...

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1522157629 @ Fri Mar 30 12:25:29 CEST 2018
Hostname: ubuntu-lms
Server IP Address: 10.209.162.115
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux
Perl Version: 5.22.1 - x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
Audio::Scan: 0.95
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)
Total Players Recognized: 2



When I search Genre for "80s" I get 16 songs ... which is way off... rescanning library doesn't help...

If I goto Advanced Search, and use the Genre Search drop-down, I get the correct results (579) ... (so the tagging sw appears to be working - I am using Puddletag)

Is this a know issue ? No biggie, of course, but perhaps a loose end ?? Maybe a remedy ?

Follow-up on Genre listing issue ..


If I use Puddletag to create a NEW genre for a group of records, then, after rescan, the new genre shows up, but from main menu under Genre - i click on new genre but no items are listed...BUT if I change the genre of music files to an existing genre, then, after rescan, the items are properly listed under Genres.

I have cleared database and dis complete rescan, but no luck,,As before, the advanced search will display the records when searching by newly created genre...

So, the tagging sw (Puddletag) is tagging the records correctly, but I cannot list newly tagged records by genre from the main menu (it shows empty) , but I can using advanced search ...

I am wondering if someone cld try to reproduce this on their LMS -- Maybe there is a server setting that can fix this ?

Just to oblige ...

3 albums by "Alice Watts" I've never bothered giving a genre (I'm not a genre fanboy).

Using mp3Tag, I gave them a genre " "AliceWattsMusic".

Did a clear & rescan.

Albums appear under the new genre.

Thank you -- the mystery continues for me ...

I have a windows 10 vm which I can install the mp3tag sw on and re-tag some files -- see what happens... -- this seems to be the next logical step ....

**********
MP3tag on Windows 10 VM -- took 10 BB King songs - removed all tags. Re-Tagged all files using mp3tag with Genre BBKing -- added to library on server - rescanned folder -- Genre showed up, but same phenomenon...when I click on the Genre BBKing, it says Empty, but if I choose Add to Plalist, all the songs appear on the right pane... I am using Firefox browser - re-tagging with existing Genre works fine ....

Thank you for checking this out -- I will continue trying other settings etc ...

Cold up here in VT !
