Customized "Various Artist" identifier does not work
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:36:01 UTC
I tried to use a customized "Various Artist" identifier but that did not work at all. The albums are always listed unter "Various Artists".
Can you upload your slimserver.pref file to this bug? Thanks.
Here is my slimserver.pref file (in which the variousArtistsString is empty since I removed the customized identifier): --- 00:04:20:05:b5:86-activeFont: - light - standard - full 00:04:20:05:b5:86-activeFont_curr: 1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-alarm: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-alarmfadeseconds: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-alarmvolume: 50 00:04:20:05:b5:86-autobrightness: 1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-bass: 50 00:04:20:05:b5:86-bufferThreshold: 255 00:04:20:05:b5:86-currentSong: 2226 00:04:20:05:b5:86-digitalVolumeControl: 1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-disabledirsets: [] 00:04:20:05:b5:86-doublesize: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-idleBrightness: 3 00:04:20:05:b5:86-idleFont: - light - standard - full 00:04:20:05:b5:86-idleFont_curr: 2 00:04:20:05:b5:86-idlesaver: nosaver 00:04:20:05:b5:86-irmap: Default.map 00:04:20:05:b5:86-lameQuality: 9 00:04:20:05:b5:86-maxBitrate: ~ 00:04:20:05:b5:86-menuItem: - NOW_PLAYING - BROWSE_BY_ALBUM - BROWSE_BY_ARTIST - BROWSE_BY_SONG - BROWSE_BY_GENRE - SAVED_PLAYLISTS - SEARCH_FOR_ALBUMS - SEARCH_FOR_ARTISTS - SEARCH_FOR_SONGS - RADIO - PLUGINS - SQUEEZENETWORK_CONNECT 00:04:20:05:b5:86-mp3SilencePrelude: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-offDisplaySize: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-offsaver: SCREENSAVER.datetime 00:04:20:05:b5:86-pitch: 100 00:04:20:05:b5:86-playername: 10.6.0.30 00:04:20:05:b5:86-playingDisplayMode: 1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-power: '' 00:04:20:05:b5:86-powerOffBrightness: 3 00:04:20:05:b5:86-powerOnBrightness: 4 00:04:20:05:b5:86-repeat: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-screensaver: playlist 00:04:20:05:b5:86-screensavertimeout: 30 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollMode: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollPause: 3.6 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollPauseDouble: 3.6 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollPixels: 7 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollPixelsDouble: 7 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollRate: 0.15 00:04:20:05:b5:86-scrollRateDouble: 0.1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-showbufferfullness: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-shuffle: 1 00:04:20:05:b5:86-silent: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-syncBufferThreshold: 128 00:04:20:05:b5:86-syncPower: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-syncVolume: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-titleFormat: - 5 - 1 - 3 - 6 - 8 00:04:20:05:b5:86-titleFormatCurr: 4 00:04:20:05:b5:86-transitionDuration: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-transitionType: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-treble: 50 00:04:20:05:b5:86-upgrade-5.4b1-script: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-upgrade-5.4b2-script: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-upgrade-6.1b1-script: 0 00:04:20:05:b5:86-volume: 70 MMMMixType: 0 MMMSize: 12 MMMStyle: 0 MMMVariety: 0 MMMlastMusicLibraryFinishTime: ~ MMSHost: localhost MMSport: 10002 MoodLogicplaylistprefix: 'MoodLogic: ' MoodLogicplaylistsuffix: '' MusicMagicplaylistprefix: 'MusicMagic: ' MusicMagicplaylistsuffix: '' allowedHosts: '127.0.0.1,10.6.0.2,10.6.0.*' artfolder: '' audiodir: D:\Eigene Dateien\Eigene Musik authorize: 0 browseagelimit: 100 cachedir: C:\Programme\SlimServer\server\Cache checkVersion: 1 checkVersionInterval: 86400 checkVersionLastTime: 1123531575.83917 cliport: 9090 commonAlbumTitles: - Greatest Hits - Best of... - Live composerInArtists: 0 coverArt: '' coverThumb: '' csrfProtectionLevel: 1 dbpassword: '' dbsource: dbi:SQLite:dbname=%s dbusername: '' disabledplugins: - SlimTris - MoodLogic::Plugin - RssNews - Podcast::Plugin - MusicMagic::Plugin - iTunes displaytexttimeout: 1 enabledfonts: - small - medium - large - huge filesort: 1 filterHosts: 0 groupdiscs: 0 guessFileFormats: - '(ARTIST - ALBUM) TRACKNUM - TITLE' - '/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM - TITLE' - /ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM TITLE - /ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM.

Can you try this with the latest nightly? This is working just fine for me. Currently a wipe & rescan is needed when you change the name.
This works now for me with the August 12 nightly. Maybe I couldn't test it since a wipe and rescan with the previous versions did delete the "Various Artist" section (and so I had no possibilty to see the customized identifier) which was resolved with the August 12 nightly.
