Description Nigel Birch 2007-05-08 06:31:07 UTC
This is with SlimServer v6.5.2 - TRUNK - Windows XP - EN - cp1252, Perl v5.8.8, MSWin32-x86-multi-thread & MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt.  It's a v6.5.2 branch checkout at r11872.

The Nokia770 skin's 1-by-1 Artwork browse method does not shows VA albums as being by "Various Artists".  Instead, it shows  them as being by one of the track artist (no pattern that I can see).

I had a quick to see what's what, but the AJAX confused me!

Thanks.

seems ok in 7.0(trunk), so it's a matter of whether QA wants to have this merged over for 6.5.2
Comment 3 KDF 2007-05-08 12:10:17 UTC
Digging into this, it looks like this is due to the way the server is filling in the 'name' field of the browse item list.  I'm not sure we want to be messing with this logic for 6.5.2 at this point.

We may want to be looking at adding a "known issues" section to the changelogs for cases where we have bugs reported against 6.5.1/6.5.2 that are targetted instead for 7.0 and even more important the ones that are fixed for 7.0 as users are less likely to look for fixed bugs when considering reporting on the 6.5.2 release.

Marking as 7.0 target.  We'll look at it again to make sure it STILL doesn't happen in 7.0 :)
Comment 5 Michael Herger 2008-01-08 11:14:11 UTC
Still seems ok. Feel free to re-open if needed.
Comment 6 Nigel Birch 2008-01-10 05:55:14 UTC
I've re-opened this as I can't check to see whether it's fixed or not.  That's because the 1-by-1 Artwork feature only lists albums as text not as artwork.  The link URL is http://mars.lan:9000/Nokia770/browsedb.html?hierarchy=album,track&level=0&player=MACADDRESS&artwork=2.

I'm not sure when it last worked.  This is with r16093.
Comment 7 KDF 2008-01-10 08:10:24 UTC
it was broken by change 16051.  no clue why those changes cause this problem yet.
Comment 8 KDF 2008-01-10 08:12:08 UTC
specifically, it was the changes to Slim::Web::HTTP
Comment 9 Michael Herger 2008-01-10 08:16:26 UTC
Nigel - can you give us some information about your system? Where are the files stored? What OS etc.?
Comment 10 Michael Herger 2008-01-10 08:25:23 UTC
It's utf8encode('0'), returning '' - fixed in 16104
Comment 11 KDF 2008-01-10 08:38:07 UTC
the problem seems to be the utf8decode turns 0 into undef, while utf8on leaves 0 alone.
fixed in change 16106.  marking as fixed again.

Looks good to me.  Thanks.
