Hi, I love MB and use it daily for live TV and recording shows. I was hoping MB would also make using separate bubbleupnp/twonky music servers redundant. Unfortunately, that is not possible yet as MB lacks certain options (or maybe I am lacking understanding which is why I am posting). My current music collection is organized by genres. Each song also has a rating. I also use a media player ( WMP,winamp, Music Bee etc) to create a dynamic playlist based on ratings, recently played, and so on. These are my three main ways of finding and playing music. It seems with MB i can only use the genre category because MB doesn't see the rating tag and neither does it recognize playlists from other players. MB does have something called "favorites" for songs but I can't seem to figure out how to add or remove songs from that list. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hi All, I am using MB server on a separate machine, and MB Classic for the rest of my clients using PC and Extenders. All working well, apart from one item, which I think possibly a bug or broken, or could be a fault in my setup. It goes like this.... you fire up MB Classic, and move left, and I will hit "Music Album", which will show me the latest music albums above and will have zero wait. I can drill inside, and find all my music. I come back out and continue going left until I hit "Music", and then MB Classic will freeze for about 30 seconds but at the end it will show me the latest music albums above, but when I drill down, it will be empty and say"No Items"..... To the untrained eyes.. it appears the MUSIC function is broken but the MUSIC ALBUM is working. The webclient and Android clients are working... Question: Before I send all the log files.. am I the only one experience this?? or is this undocumented feature :-)... thanks for all the good work

I uninstalled and reinstalled MBT from web to ensure latest version. v3.0.5494.42115 Restarted server - Version 3.0.5502.3522 Waited for CPU to drop to idle (scan finnish etc) Launched MBT Tried to enter music media folder Error processing request error after a few seconds with no content showing {Leading up to and After this error the Server CPU is running at close to 100 across all cores) quit mbt Posted log. may be related to http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/17046-v0520-music-support/?p=170341 http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/16163-music-error-processing-the-request/?p=161068 http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/17405-is-music-broken-under-mb-classic-or-is-it-just-my-setup/?p=169100 i know MBT is work in progress, but the serving of large music datasets, specifically album artists,,seems to make MB Server struggle? Web Client take 30 Seconds to display Album Artists, and is just as slow 1st try as 2nd, 3rd, 4th..web client seems to load a single core 100% when asking to display album artist. (MBT Test rough load) - 4 Core@3.2GHz (15% Free), 6GB Ram (2GB Free, 600MB server service), SSD (0 Disk queue length/close to 0 Load), MBT running on Server win 7 SP1 64bit. roughly 700 Album Artists, 7000 Artists, 70000 Tracks, 2500 Albums. Might it be possible for MB Server to cache the album artist information so it is more readily available to client requests? Currently the only workable windows client is the Web Client for music playback... thanks edit added mbt log i think from same time. edit playlists with music are fine (suggesting not music subsystem in general that has an issue)

Is it possible to filter on Language on the music section? So I can easaly filter all my dutch songs or german songs etc...

Hi All; I've been using MB3 for quite some time now, and really like how it's been maturing. When I first started using it though, I was able to share music between the various users defined on my server simply by creating a shortcut that points to an artist's folder that's defined as a subfolder of another user's library. This doesn't seem to be working any longer. Did I miss the changelog for one of the updates that explained why this should no longer be working? If so, can you please point me to the details of it. Is this a bug that's been introduced in one of the updates? If so, then I'm more than happy to help test resolutions for this. Please advise

I updated a few new albums. and some of the songs play for a few seconds to 30 seconds then skip to the next song like the song was done. I have checked the file to see if the file was bad and its not if I play it through Windows Media Player it plays the full song. any suggestions?

Hi, I have a lot of music with no age rating but two albums are rated as DE-18. Now i tried to set the two albums to DE-18 and the parent music folder to DE-0. Unfortunately the age rating uses no inheritance. Is there a possibility to set the age rating at once? Yours Rüdiger

Server Version: 3.0.5464.40000 Release While grabbing the metadata for my music I have found an odd problem. I have added 5 albums so far and, apart from having the issue with dates appearing a day earlier than they should as people have posted about before, all was well until the 5th album. As far as I can see most sources have the album Forever, Michael down as a release date of 1975 but the server is not picking this up when asked to grab data it instead leaves release date and year blank. I have added the date manually and although, after multiple attempts, it seems the year has eventually stuck but the release date field keeps getting blanked out. I have attached a log file the last time this happened was around 6pm today. Many thanks, Chris server-63555548828.txt

Hi All, My MB Classic Freezes for about 30 seconds every time I chose MUSIC (on the first use only).... So, I decided to look at the log file and I found that it is due to error about being a supporter Can anyone help... p.s. I can repeat this problem as many times as I like... Here is the log file...

I have just noticed that the latest release screwed up some music albums that had been fine before. Now all of my albums by Abba and The Sound are no longer recognized as separate albums--in both cases Media Browser has decided that I only have one album by each artist and that all tracks from all albums are part of that one album. I now have one album by Abba with 108 tracks and one album by The Sound with 155 tracks. I didn't notice the problem until this morning but previously all of the individual albums had been recognized by Media Browser. I'm assuming that the problem started with the most recent update. There is one similarity between the two artist folders--since I ripped The Abba and The Sound albums from box sets The Abba individual album folder names begin with Disc 1, Disc, 2, Disc 3, etc and The Sound album folder names begin with CD1, CD2, CD3, etc. I'm wondering if something changed where Media Browser is reading these folders differently now.

Is there any chance there is a folder view in the Android client that I'm missing? In the web interface the ability to browse my music collection by folder is fantastic as I keep my collection neatly organized in a hierarchy, i.e. Genre\Artist\Album\Track The genre view in the Android client only attempts to list all songs for a Genre, which creates a mess for anyone with a large music collection (not to mention it causes the client to hang constantly). If you could view by folder as is available in the web interface then it would be fantastic! Thanks, jorgytim

client 2.0.87 Gal S4 when scrolling down artists, if i hit a letter, it is registered/shows on screen, but i do not jump to the letter..i always jump to the same place towards beginning of sort order regardless of which letter i choose. anyone else seeing this? redshirt would you consider an option to show album artists rather than artists in the music view. personally its how i seek music 99% of the time.easier to find 1 in 500 rather than 1 in 7000. thanks for considering..

Hope someone can help here. I am using Musicbrainz picard to tag my music collection, but it doesn't appear to be adding the artists id or overview to the artists text file. Can someone tell me how to set this up in Musicbrainz Picard? Many thanks for your help

Doing it the slow way. 2014-10-19 15:20:01.2458 Error - App: Error getting image information for E:\MediaBrowser\IBN\artists\t.A.T.u\folder.jpg Could not find file 'E:\MediaBrowser\IBN\artists\t.A.T.u\folder.jpg'. System.IO.FileNotFoundException at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileInfo.get_Length() at MediaBrowser.Api.Images.ImageService.GetImageInfo(IHasImages item, ItemImageInfo info, Nullable`1 imageIndex) Steps to reproduce. 1. Create W:\Music\t.A.T.u\[insert some album here] (no full stop at end because windows file system doesn't support) MB3 successfully identifies, album/artist and downloads metadata into media collection. 2. Go to metadata manager and change the primary image for the artist. Error as above.no folder.jpg in collection. It is odd that on first fetch MB3 handles the artist but cant handle manually fetching artwork from metadata manager.

Hi, this maybe a feature request but was wondering what other people thoughts are on these subjects. First of all playlists, Would it be possible for a resume feature? Instead of the playlist builder coming in from the side, maybe a drop down box at the top of the browser which will remember the playlist you are working on until the browser is refreshed, then the add to playlist function is just one click per item instead of 4 or 5. A Jumble feature, i.e. when you have finished messing with your playlist, press Jumble and it will randomly re-order the list. Sort by artist so you can get rid of any duplicates in a list Some way of re-ordering manually. Music - Songs A song is just 2 pieces of information, Title and Artist, and you may have one song 10 times in a collection and this information never changes, so was wondering if, A "song" can be grouped, so if i like it or make it favorite it will do it to all instances of that song, as well as play counts being the same too. When you open a song in the browser it will tell you what albums it is on and if there is a local music video for it. which brings me to the subject no one wants to entertain, music vids, I know there isn't databases for them but there is always a simple way around things (what an assumption). I actually have a very accurate database of music on my server P.C., it's called media browser, and i only want things linking that are there, is there any way you can use the information at hand just to tidy this part up, all of the artist art is there ready to be used. No nobby online database needed, just two pieces of information, Title and Artist. Easy!!!

My mp3 albums have started to play over again from the beginning instead of stopping after the last song. There are no playlist files or anything like that which would explain why this is happening--just the music files and metadata file and cover artwork. I can't find any setting in Media Browser (beta) for Roku that would turn a repeat play function on and off. Am I missing something?

I was wondering if the the server had a fix for the issue with the song browsing fixed? The issue where being on the metadata viewing page for the song and browsing through the songs using the side arrows. The reason I asked is that it is now working perfectly in version 3.0.5363.32049. I know that I did downgrade the id3 version from 2.4 to 2.3 to work with my new mp3 player. Just wondering what is causing the thing to work suddenly.

From where collects mbs metadata for music albums? The reason I ask is that the release date and year is wrong ... but on the http://musicbrainz.org/release/51ee119d-40b3-3b5e-b0a5-1a33ab051ef3, Release date and year the correct.

I think the album description fetching is very good and informative. I was surprised to find a couple of albums in collection (without having to look hard, I suspect there are a few) where the mbz album id was populated and the album description was either blank or the old last fm one with html tags. in both cases by manually populating the release group id (which was blank), the good album description fetched. but as the there is only one known (to mbz) release group id for an album id....shouldn, t mb3 have already populated the info?
