Bugzilla – Bug 3514
Duplicate songs listed in the Squeezebox Music Player server list
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
Duplicate songs are listed in the online player UI music player, using 6.5b1 June 8 nightly. Steps to duplicate: 1. Under Browse, select "Artists", then select an artist you know as having a complete album 2. Click the play button next to one of the albums 3. In the music player list notice that the songs are listed in duplicates (ie. 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,...) Expected behaviour: No duplicate songs should be listed (ie, 1,2,3,4,5,6,...)
please leave targets unset for review. are you using musicIP, musicmagic and do any songs have non-latin/unicode characters Have you tried running a complete clear and rescan to see if this changes the duplicates? Note: 6.5 is considered experimental at the moment, and is unstable. If you wish stable use, please stick wtih 6.3 builds.
some clarification...the music list is from my local directory of MP3s, running winXP. Bug is not relevant to the type of characters used. A complete clear and rescan does not help rectify the issue. The slimserver will play the duplicate songs in the list (ie, does not skip the duplicates). can you repro with the steps I provided?
Matt - this should be fixed as of the June 13th build - you may need to wipe & rescan for it to take affect.
Created attachment 1273 [details] screenshot
I have cleared out entire directory and installed june 16 nightly but noticed the issue persists. I have attached a screenshot that best describes the issue I am seeing.
Matt - are the tracks duplicated in the album list itself? IE: If you drill down Album -> Tracks? Some more relevant changes went in today - when you get a chance, can you try the 2006-06-29 nightly build? (will be built in ~4 hours from this post) Thanks
Ping. Matt - can you try the latest nightly, and let me know if this is still an issue? Thanks
I tried the July 9 nightly, and the list of songs in the online server list GUI is still showing duplicate songs, similar to the screenshot I have uploaded previously.
Matt - did you run a 'Wipe & Rescan' after installing the latest nightly? What is your Music Folder set to? Can you drill down to the "Song Info" page for two of the duplicated tracks? Is the Location: line the same for both? Please check the case carefully. Thanks
I normally don't wipe and rescan - what I have been doing is uninstalling slimserver, then deleting the slimserver directory, then installing latest nightly, pointing to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music Playlist is the same directory, although I don't have any saved playlists Upon install, the slimserver does its business in scanning the above folder for music, etc... this time around I cleared the library and scanned everything just in case if I drill down to the list of songs (ie click artists > click an artist > click an album), the left pane shows the album art and UNIQUE instances of songs (no duplicates in the left pane) if I click the play button for "All Songs" (in this instance it is http://localhost:9000/status_header.html?command=playlist&subcommand=loadtracks&contributor.id=89&album.id=40&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac) the playlist is populated with duplicates in the right pane (example 1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7) The song locations appear to be the same for the duplicates. Hovering over each song shows URLs such as: http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=301&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=301&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=302&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=302&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=302&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=303&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=303&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=303&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A62%3Aac I noticed with slimserver 6.3 and 6.3.1, the URL is different: http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=303&player=00:A04:A20:A06:A62:Aac I hope this helps
oops, 6.3 and 6.3.1 shows the URL structure as the following: http://localhost:9000/songinfo.html?item=303&player=00:04:20:06:62:ac : instead of %3A if I try the same steps in 6.3.x, there are no duplicate songs in the playlist
sorry, I must be tired, clicking the song title in the right pane brings up the song info page, and the location is the same for the duplicates in 6.5b1, 7/11 nightly (same directory location and file details) The songs all have titles start with a number if this helps (ie 01 - first_song.mp3, 02 - second_song.mp3) I also just tried removing duplicate album art JPG's from the folder, but this didn't seem to help
Matt - do the tracks that get duplicated have both an Artist and Composer that are the same? Please try the latest nightly - I just fixed something along these lines. The July 14th nightly or later. Thanks
I had exactly the same problem as reported (6.5b1 on Linux Fedora). I've just installed the 15 July nightly, and (after a brief panic because of the fixed IP address bug in the new firmware) I can confirm that this is now fixed for me. Keep up the excellent work! Richard
I installed the July 15th nightly and I too confirm that this bug can now be closed. Thanks Dan for your efforts in isolating the root cause.
