Bugzilla – Bug 15553
Album missing on Squeezebox Radio (album artist or composer but no artist)
Last modified: 2011-05-12 14:26:28 UTC
One of my albums that show up perfectly in Squeezebox Server (version is 7.4.1) is missing in the album browser of my Squeezebox Radio. I can neither find it in the album list nor via a search on the radio. I can start playback from Squeezebox Server. The album is kind of special, because it has no artist in its tags.
I'm giving this a P1 priority. As I've been reviewing bugs the last couple of days, this kind of thing seems unpleasantly popular.
FWIW, this is going to be a server-side fix. Suggest Michael to look at Slim::Control::Queries::albumsQuery() push it back my way if you feel this is poorly assigned Michael
Wolfgang - would you mind uploading this track? I just tested with one file I removed all but album and title tags. And I see it without any problem.

Created attachment 6485 [details] one of the songs in the album
I don't know if you get a notification for uploads, I uploaded one of the songs in the album this morning. I you need more information (network traces, ...) just let me know. I can get them as soon as my squeezebox server is running again (hardware problem :-()
don't worry, I see the file. Will investigate later. Thanks!
Andy - what's particular about this track is that there's a composer, but no artist in the tags. It does indeed not show up in SP, while it does in the web UI. But if I remove the composer, it would be on SP too, under the "No Artist" group. Tested with 7.5/trunk and embedded. Same behaviour.
OK so what I think we should do in this case is use the composer value as the artist, if there is no artist tag.
IMO it should be in the "No artist" group. Just my 2 cents.
OK, I'll just see about fixing the bug with the SP listing.
This track shouldn't show up under No Artist, that is only used if the track contains no contributors at all. So J. Brahms will only show up if you enable composer browsing. If you really want to have files tagged this way it makes sense that you'd also want to enable composer browsing. The bug here is that SP does not work the same as the other interfaces when it comes to composer browsing.
OK I take that back, the easiest way to fix this was to assign a primary contributor of "No Artist" for this case.

This bug has been marked fixed in a released version of Squeezebox Server or the accompanying firmware or mysqueezebox.com release. If you are still seeing this issue, please let us know!
I updated Squeezebox Server to "Version: 7.5.0 - r30464" and installed the new firmware (7.5.0-r8673) on my radio. But I'm afraid I still can't see the album, neither on the radio nor on a controller, which is still running on 7.4.1.
Target is in the past
Will retest in 7.6.
Reassigning to QA to check out.
*** Bug 15996 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is fixed in onebrowser, possibly in 7.6 trunk.
