Bugs with music section of new MBC (251)

This is with my new reduced music library for testing (see post here) and the 251 build in the new mode (not legacy).

 

If I go to Music, then Album Artists, there are 6 showing. If I go to Folders, then music, there are 7. If I go to the web interface there are 7.

In MBC, Artists has 5 showing, web has 12.

Albums has 28 in MBC and web.

 

The funny part is that the composite image MBC is showing for the Artists shows an artist that isn't showing up inside it.

 

Also, the MBC interface shows the number of unplayed songs per album while the web interface doesn't. I don't see any option about hiding that on the web, so maybe that just isn't something coded on the web client. That would be a nice feature request. To configure show unplayed counts by library. I like it on my TV, but really not necessary (and kind of annoying) for music.

I'm going to need to see some specific examples (screen shots) to have any hope of figuring this out.  Thanks.

 

As for the unwatched counts, I thought I had nixed those in the music views.  However, if you are using folder browsing, they may still be there.

What do you mean by folder browsing? I have legacy turned off, using the new music view in MBC where you get the sub-items of Albums, Album Artists, Artists and Genres like the web.

 

First screenshot is the new grouped MBC Music view, 2nd is going to Folders, then Music (old legacy style view), third is my web through the Music menu (not folders). Each screenshot shows the counts.

I think I found the problem looking through the MBC logs. AC/DC has a slash in it that isn't being handled in the http request.

Yup, that needs to be urlencoded.  Good catch.

 

As for the counts, I will probably try to nix those because they aren't going to be very informative and will just potentially slow things down.

That only explains the problem with the one missing Album Artist though, not the Artists. Unless everything is stopping after that, but it's not failing in alpha-order.

Cool, figured that's an easy fix once caught. If you need other music testing done, please see my linked thread too, I've got lots of issues with the music metadata that I'm willing and able to test and document if anyone has the time to work on it. Even just answers to how things are currently working would be a start and might at least yield some workarounds. Thanks

Okay, I think I'm actually already doing that in places where I have the ID.  But some places (like looking at a song) all I have is a name.  I can confirm as soon as I can get my music views retrieving again.

Okay, so in the new beta, I see you made some headway. Album Artists now shows 17 in both views and AC/DC shows up with description and picture, however, when I choose it in MBC I get "No Items" while in the web I see 6 albums.

Artists doesn't fare so well. I get 30 artists in MBC and 32 in the web client and AC/DC does not show up in MBCs artists. The other missing one from MBC is Various Artists (no abnormal characters, hmmm).

 

Something that caused a chuckle that is wrong on the server side, not just MBC, is that while my Album Artists look good, over on Artists I have "A.C." and "D.C." showing up. No albums under either and both link to ImagesByName\artists entries rather than real "identified" music folders (I'm guessing a side effect of what I reported here)

AC/DC has been a problem in tagging music for a very long time because many taggers used the "/" as a delimiter (way back when I first attempted music tagging like six years ago).  There must still be some of that going on.

The issue with no items being retrieved for them appears to be on the server end (probably related to the split you are seeing there).  I am simply doing a straight items retrieval with that artist's parentId and getting back an empty response.
