steve1977 67 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 When picking an individual song, the albumart shows. Very confusing. But not in the albumoverview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 And to answer your question, the year does not show correctly for the album without release year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 can you run it through ffprobe and paste the output http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks for your help! I had run the following comment before and got the albumart out: ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp3 folder.jpg What other comment you want me to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikuf 663 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 @Luke Steve emailed me that file here is the ffprobe output I have run it through our image extraction and it does extract the image. I can confirm that it doesn't have an image in the library. I got tied up with ie stuff so I never finished investigating the why. waterloo.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the album years all still come from last.fm and NOT from the MP3 tag. My guess is that reading from tags is not working overall. Not only for this specific album. Only difference with this album is that there is no info/art on last.fm. Let me know if anything else to provide as log, ffmpeg output, or others. Thanks!!!

steve1977 67 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Quick follow-up. Anything else I can provide to help problem-solve this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 albums pull the years from the song tabs, but since this didn't use to be the case, you probably have album.xml files in your album folders, and once you have those, they override. you might just want to wipe them by deleting all your album.xml files and then your library.db file.

steve1977 67 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thanks for your message. Would this also solve my isse extracting embedding art? Deleting album.xml will be straight forward. Anyway not deleting the library.db file as this would also delete the library for my movies and shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Given how anxious I am to get the music library working, I tried adding a few more albums to see whether i fixed the issue. Unfortunately, the year still does not work. Let me be more precise: 1) Year is shown in the album view 2) When clicking the album and then selecting "edit", the release date includes some information, but the "year" is empty. And even worse, the "year" (in the album view) is still not taken from the tag, but fro the "release date" from last.fm. For example, the album "The Better Life (3 Doors Down)" is now shown as 2007 although the tag says that the year is 2000 (which should be accurate). What additional info can I provide? Tikuf's log above may be sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 this will be looked at soon, not to worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ronmoses Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Brand-new user here. Since most of the albums I just added are showing artwork and years for the tracks, but neither for the albums themselves, may I assume this has not yet been addressed? thanks! ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
