Bugzilla – Bug 2228
Clear database & rescan needed to detect genre changes
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:36:01 UTC
If I change the genre information in my flac files, the only way I can get the server to notice and/or delete the old genre information is to clear everything and do a rescan. This shouldn't be necessary.
Fixed in subversion change 4610.
Will this fix also remove deleted genres from the database?
Not automatically - I encountered some issues with that. A rescan will though.
Shouldn't you be in bed? Do you mean a full clear and rescan? If so, I think this bug should really be left open.
Yes, that's what my girlfriend tells me at any rate. :) No - just a regular rescan. That's the only way to trigger a $ds->cleanupStaleEntries call. Most of the time it's not needed - just for the times where you removed the last referrence to a genre, etc.
Excellent, thanks.
