Bugzilla – Bug 216
Genre-All Albums-Album not played in song order
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:18:41 UTC
When selecting an album via the Genre:All Albums:specific album path the songs are played in alphabetical order, not song order. This is especially a problem with multiple artist albums which is the primary reason to use this path.
Genre:All Albums:specific artist:specific album? from remote or web ui? is this with latest cvs, because a patch was done recently to fix the "all albums/songs" special cases. At least, for use with the remote.
I am using the 5.1.1 general release for OSX and the bug is still present. I do not use the CVS distributions mainly because I do not know how to use them:-(
The latest pre-release version from CVS is available here as a regular installer: http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest Can you try it out and let us know if it fixes the issue? thanks, dean
Unfortunately it is not fixed in the 3/12 dmg release.
It appears to sort songs in compilation albums using the artist name rather than the track number. Here's the playlist output: 9. Search For Marden Hill... from Winter Chill by 45 Dip 3. Wouldn't She from Winter Chill by A Man Called Adam 2. Breather from Winter Chill by Afterlife 4. Cold Water Music from Winter Chill by Aim 10. Only One from Winter Chill by Anthea 1. People Make The World Go 'round from Winter Chill by Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra 6. Channel 1 Suite from Winter Chill by The Cinematic Orchestra 10. Serenity from Winter Chill by DJ Trax 13. Sky Inside A Room from Winter Chill by Dust 11. Heavy Interference from Winter Chill by Eyedentity 12. Curious from Winter Chill by Guardians Of Dalliance ... 6. We Be The Crew from Winter Chill by Wiseguys
This appears to be fixed in the 2004-03-19 build. Pherhaps earlier.
I have tried the 3/19 build (dmg flavor) and Genre:All Albums:specific album still loads in alphabetical order, not song order. This is the case for both a Squeezebox and a Slimp3. Simon@imaginator.com, what platform are you using the SlimServer on?
I have been using the slimserver on Linux. I will test again with the latest build. S.
I'm marking this as a dupe since its the same section of code involved in Bug 231. I have sent a patched version of the module to Julius for test, and a patch to Dean for review. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 231 ***
