Bugzilla – Bug 17336
Search results fail to display artist and album names
Last modified: 2011-07-29 07:21:58 UTC
Search results are mostly useless without artist and album names. The behavior differs slightly for the different interfaces. In SqueezePlay there is no problem, as a second line of text is always used to show artist and album names (but year is omitted). Albums: Search results in both the web and ip3k3 interfaces show only the album name and the year (and, inexplicably, uses two lines in the web interface). The results do not display the artist name. Songs: In both the web and ip3k3 interfaces, the display of search results for songs strictly adheres to the title format that is set. Since the default title format is only TITLE, this makes the search results useless. SBS 7.5 handles this well, adding 'by <ARTIST>' and 'from <ALBUM>' when they're not already part of the title format. And in the web interface of SBS 7.6 this same treatment can still be seen in the current playlist.

Jim - I can't confirm the comment about Songs results in ip3k. On my boom it shows "track - artist - album", even with the format set to TITLE only

This is mostly fixed in the web ui. It looks like the current playlist display has been affected, though. I'm now seeing a hash value in the output: Everybody Be Yoself from Big Wide Grin by Slim::Schema::Contributor=HASH(0x8f5797c), Keb' Mo' ipk3 uses a title format specific to the player, not the one in the 'Interface' settngs. The behavior there is still the same as it was.
Heh... didn't see you re-opened this bug. Should be fixed again in r32849. Thanks!
