Bugzilla – Bug 914
composerInArtists preference ignored in playlist views
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:01 UTC
I still see the composer in 'the current playlist' (default skin) when the preference is set to "Don't Include Composer" etc. My server format is 'TITLE' and I'm seeing TITLE from ALBUM by ARTIST COMPOSER. On the player my format is TITLE - ALBUM - ARTIST and I see TITLE - ALBUM - ARTIST, COMPOSER. It is displayed correctly in the browse view as far as I can see.
Note this is on Win XP, library populated from iTunes.
Another user reports a similar problem: I just checked V6.0a2 and there is something wrong the count of artists. Despite the fact that I selected "Don't include composer, band and orchestra in Artists" the count of artist is definitely wrong (501 instead of 111 as seen in iTunes). When I use slimserver to browse the artist list, I only see 111 of them (correct but the count still says 501) but if I browse the artist list on a Squeezebox then I really see 501 of them and indeed I can see that all composers are also included in the list of artist. Note, I am running the windows version on XP SP2 and I use iTunes (I have explicitely specified the path to the iTunes library and the iTunes music folder). Regards, Michel
James - all of this has been fixed as of subversion change 2476. It will be in the next nightly. Thanks for the report.
