Description Neil Hastie 2006-02-22 10:19:32 UTC

I have just upgraded from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2 and have hit
a problem with compilation albums.

I have "Group Compilation Albums Together" set and expect
all my compilation albums to appear under "Various Artist".

This is working fine - However the compilation artists are
also seperatly listed under their own names when viewed using
browse by genre.

I'm having this problem as well. Except I've only ever installed version 6.2.1 (on Linux) and "various artists" has never worked for me, under "browse genre" or anywhere else.

I have a few tracks where the artist is actually "Various". Maybe that has something to do with it.

I have this exact problem, as per the original bug logger; as of 6.2.2, various artists that work everywhere else correctly do work correctly when browsing by genre.  For example, Browse Music -> Artists lists all major artists, with others listed correctly under 'Various Artits'.
Browse Music -> Browse by Genre -> Electronic (for example) lists ALL artists tagged as Electronic.

Comment 5 Julian Neil 2006-04-28 03:01:05 UTC

While this bug has been fixed (thanks for that), the count stats at the top of the web pages are now out whenever VA is selected in a browse menu (eg, Browse Artists->Various Artists, or Browse Genre->(genre)->Various Artists), or when VA appears in the artist menu under Brose Genre->(genre).

Stats show "0 albums with 0 songs by <x> artists" even when there are albums with songs displayed in the menu.

Also the <x> artist count includes individual track artists and does not group then under VA, but I dont know if this is intended or not.

Dan - the change to Base.pm in this fix seems to mean browse by Genre with sqlite an inordinate length of time.  Without it queries are less than a second, but with it it can take over 400 seconds...  Can it be optimised in some way?

This bug fix is now part of a released version, and so has been marked closed. If you are still experiencing this problem, please reopen the bug.
