Bugzilla – Bug 10426
Albums with tracks from more than one year can result in empy years
Last modified: 2011-04-08 02:02:08 UTC
This is with SqueezeCentre v7.3.1. I have an album where different tracks have different years, e.g.: TRACKNUMBER=1 TITLE=India YEAR=1961 ALBUM=Impressions ARTIST=John Coltrane TRACKNUMBER=2 TITLE=Up 'against The Wall YEAR=1961 ALBUM=Impressions ARTIST=John Coltrane TRACKNUMBER=3 TITLE=Impressions YEAR=1962 ALBUM=Impressions ARTIST=John Coltrane TRACKNUMBER=4 TITLE=After The Rain YEAR=1963 ALBUM=Impressions ARTIST=John Coltrane When browsing (player UI or web interface) under years, 1961 shows but has no albums listed. I assume this is because the scanner adds all tracks to the album, then cleans up and keeps the year for the album from the last track imported (bug 5211 related?), leaving empty years (if there are no other albums from that year). In this case, I would expect that these would be cleaned up so that no empty years remain. Thanks.
Brandon: Would this be solved by new schema?
I have the same problem in 7.3.3. Here is what I did: * I created an album (FLAC) with 5 songs with 5 different years (from (1951 to 1955). * Done a clean and full rescan Then I try to browse by Year and there is nothing under the years 1951 to 1954. Under 1955 the album is listed (not sure whether it takes the highest or just the last - should be the highest) but only one song (the one with 1955 as year) is listed. The other 4 songs are not to be found anywhere!!! So as it is now it doesn't work at all, which means Severity should be Major and priority hopefully P1 and definetely we should not wait to the 8.0 release to fix this. Note that there are really two probelms here: 1. What year to use for the albums that contain tracks form different years. This is already tracked (and suggestions made) in bug 5211. 2. Browsing by year should show the songs that have that year a track year. Nothing to do with what the album release date is. This is what this bug is about.
(In reply to comment #2) > I have the same problem in 7.3.3. Here is what I did: I will just confirm to have excactly the same problem with empty choices in "browse by year" caused by compilations of songs from different years.

Alan, i thought this might be inside the scope of onebrowser
Would you like to test it?
