Bugzilla – Bug 5748
Browse by unknown years can display songs that have a year tag
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
If I browse to Years -> Unknown -> No Album, the list of songs includes all No Album songs, even if they have a year tag. This happens on the Web Interface and Player UI.
Michael notes that this might be album years, and songs with no album might well also not have an album year. It's not clear where the information Slimserver uses to perform this search is coming from. QA will investigate.
Can we have a sample file please, Philip?
Created attachment 2683 [details] song with no album that has a year Not sure why you need a file though, it's easily repeatable. The problem occurs for any song that hasn't got an album tag and has got a year tag. The attached file has: ARTIST=Alex Parks ARTISTSORT=Parks, Alex GENRE=Pop TITLE=Average Girl YEAR=2003 Navigate to Browse Years->Unknown year->No Album, and you will see this song, even though it has a year.
Sorry about that not sure what I was thinking. This is easily reproduced exactly as Philip describes, with no album tag SqueezeCenters browse by year feature doesn't work as it should. Thank you Philip.
Michael: can you take a look at this?
change 16508 - when browsing albums by year, filter tracks by tracks.year, not album.year. Please test thoroughly, especially for negative side-effects on other browse modes. This change might break expected bahviour for other users. It's imho a similar case the "Filter genres at the album & track level." preference.
