Not All Albums Being Displayed In Web Client

[Blue Kachina 12]

I'm using the web client for server version 3.0.5031.21343, and it doesn't appear to be properly displaying all of the albums for some artists, and I'm not too sure why.  Is anyone else running into this problem? 

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Route to URL for web client
2. Login
3. Go into music
4. Enter an artist name into the search box
5. Choose the recommended artist

See attached screenshot to see what I mean.

Multiple albums are present in the current list view, but see the (1) beside the number of albums in the albums list.

it's because the album folder is not being recognized as an album. so the server thinks you have the songs randomly scattered.

 

someone else reported this recently and i can't remember if i gave them a solution or if i found a bug and told them it would be fixed for the next release. try searching, and if you cant' find it i'll see if i can jar my memory.

Thanks Luke;

Guess I should have referenced the sticky to determine the recommended folder structure.

For anyone else experiencing this problem... that post can be found here:

I had one extra level of nested folders (artist/audio/album), and I guess MBServer wasn't liking that.

The one challenge I seem to be still fighting is in dealing with albums that span multiple CDs. Take "The Fragile" by Nine Inch Nails for example. It's a 2-disc album. Disc 1 being labeled "Left" and Disc 2 being labeled "Right". I've kept this album organized as follows in the past:

 

• NIN
  • The Fragile
    • Disc 1 - Left
    • Disc 2 - Right

Have you any suggestions on how better to handle this? (The sticky entitled "Media Files & Folders Structure" does not cover this)

As of right now you would need to put them all in one directory.
