Description Hakan Tandogan 2005-08-04 11:51:09 UTC

I'm using slimserver (SVN 3855) on Linux.

The server dies with "Can't call method "namesort" on an undefined value at
.../Slim/DataStores/DBI/DBIStore.pm line 1502, <GEN28> line 1.", with both mysql
and a SQLite backends.

I have attached the file that demonstrates this problem.

This file causes the described problem.

bouncing this to Dan.

I get this same problem myself.  workaround is to change DBIStore.pm line 1502 to:
	my $primary_contributor = defined($contributors->[0]) ?
$contributors->[0]->namesort : 
		((defined($albumObj) && defined($albumObj->contributor)) ?
$albumObj->contributor->namesort : '');


The sample file seems to come up as No Album, which I expect is the same fo the
files of mine that cause this.  I would expect that a "no album" would still be
a defined $albumObj, without any defined contributors.

This should be fixed as of subversion change 3861.
