Bugzilla – Bug 2744
Track details shows only first of many Genre values

Situation: when browsing or in "now playing", press "right" when looking at a track... get a list of details about the track including artist/album/bit rate etc etc. Genre is in this list. Problem: if I have several "Genre" values associated with the track, only the first one appears in the list. I am using multiple genre values with a ";" separator. The multiple genres are working fine for browsing purposes, so I know they are being registered by slimserver. I don't have the means to test if I'd get the same outcome if the original files had multiple separate "genre" tags, but I guess the result would be the same. Solution: Either (1) Show a separate line in the listing for each Genre (preferred) or (2) Reconstitute the original tag value and show all the values with the separator Note: if we ever get as far as treating other tags like "performer" (i.e. ones which are allowed to have multiple occurrences) properly, the same problem is going to occur there too.
Just to clarify: I note that the full list of Genre values (separated by spaces) is correctly provided in the Web UI equivalent screen (song info). Repeating this behaviour in the Player UI would be fine.
Ceejay - I've commited change 7049 which is a basic fix. A more complete fix (with separate genre lines) will go in 6.5
