Description Jens Boettiger 2007-12-25 01:43:55 UTC
The current tagging in SqueeCenter 7.0 /Slimserver 6.x as well) dosen't support the Ogg Vorbis tag "VERSION" (see link below)

Comment 1 Blackketter Dean 2007-12-27 13:43:04 UTC
Will look at this post-7.0.
Comment 2 Jens Boettiger 2008-03-18 11:47:33 UTC
Dean, any news? I have a lot of VERSION tags in my files and filtering without it is very bad :)
Comment 3 Jim McAtee 2008-03-18 12:29:47 UTC
What would SqueezeCenter do with the VERSION information if it did recognize it?  Just something to search against?
Comment 4 Jens Boettiger 2008-03-19 01:49:33 UTC
The OGG VERSIOn tag is a second track titel like TT3 from ID3v2.2 and ist most often used for more infromation about the title like "... original version yyy" or "Remix".
So it should be visible, brausable and searchable like the other existing tags in SC.
Thanks

Any news here?
Thanks!
Comment 6 Andy Grundman 2008-09-28 05:28:14 UTC
What would VERSION map to that we currently store in the database?
Comment 7 Keith Briscoe 2008-09-29 09:35:08 UTC
Having attempted to use the version tag in the past, here's what I think the request is:

A track contains both a TITLE and a VERSION tag.  The request is for software to read this and derive what I'll call a DISPLAY_TITLE tag from them, i.e. TITLE [VERSION]

I found this unworkable for most purposes in my collection.  Nearly all software treats TITLE as the DISPLAY_TITLE, and even if SqueezeCenter behaved differently, it would be the only piece of software that did.

So instead, here's how I solved the problem: I created a separate custom tag for the "short" title, used the VERSION tag as designed, and then used my tagging software to combine the short title and VERSION tag into a TITLE tag in whatever format I liked.  Now SqueezeCenter (and everything else) displays the combined tag just the way I like it, and I can search on the custom tag if I need to.  Hope that helps.
Comment 8 Andy Grundman 2008-09-29 09:42:21 UTC
OK, so your suggested behavior is to make TITLE = "TITLE [VERSION]" when there is a VERSION tag?
Comment 9 Keith Briscoe 2008-09-30 11:32:32 UTC
No, my suggested behavior, based on my interpretation of this bug and my own experience with the VERSION tag, is that the user retag their files to work with SC's existing behavior and that this bug gets marked INVALID.

Can't say for sure if this is acceptable until the original reporter comments.
Comment 10 Andy Grundman 2008-09-30 11:34:23 UTC
Oh, for some reason I thought you were the original requester, my mistake.  I tend to agree with you.

Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
