Description Joerg Schwieder 2010-12-30 17:57:50 UTC

In SBS 7.6 Albumartists and Conductors are shown among the list of "Artists" when this is queried through the CLI/SqueezePlay.

But these entries don't work, in some cases if you try to query the list of albums for a conductor it won't work, in some cases you get albums but no content if you try to open the album.

The behavior is the same in SqueezePlay and iPeng so I believe it has to do with the underlying database queries.

There have been some changes in this area to improve the consistency. Do you still see this problem?

Comment 2 Joerg Schwieder 2011-05-11 02:35:13 UTC

Is this in trunk or onebrowser.

On my main server (Ubuntu 8.04, trunk, nightly build from a few days ago, r32390), it looks better now (the composers don't seem to be in the list anymore) but I'm still seeing a number of artists that don't work.

All of them seem to be artists which have punctuation characters in the name, so this is probably a different issue.
Examples:
DJ's @ Work
BOOMTOWN RATS, THE

They don't work in all interfaces.
I do have other artists where similar punctuation characters work fine, though.

I think we can consider this fixed in 7.9.

Comment 4 Joerg Schwieder 2014-08-06 10:33:42 UTC

Oh, this particular bug was probably already fixed in 7.7 or the release version of 7.6 :)
It was about all artist roles showing up in the main artist list (like in "arr artists" in 7.9) but not being available for browsing in lower level menus then...
