Music library access in EMC...

[d00zah 149]

has problems with the recent server series. Has it ever worked?

 

I just reworked my music library metadata after updating to the current stable server series & I now actually see items in the following views:

 

- Albums

- Artists

- Album artists

- Genres

 

If I enter the Albums view, I can select a specific album & start to play it. This is the only section that works for me.

 

IF I enter the Artists/Album artists view & select an artist, all I see is 'NO ITEMS', no matter how long I wait.

 

If I enter the Genre view & select a specific Genre (any), I get what appears to be a folder view of the home screen. (my interpretation)

 

I currently have no playlists or favorites, so I can't speak to that.

 

Database was recreated within the last few months & the reworked Music library was deleted / cleaned / re-added to the database after updating to Server 3.2.1.

 

Everything looks fine in Firefox (64-bit) web UI. EMC is the only other client I use due to DRM'd TV channels.

I believe this is due to changes on the server end.  I will take a look.

[d00zah 149]

Thank you, sir!

Try dev version .309.

[d00zah 149]

At a glance, it appears to be working. Will give it a thorough going over when I have more time to play.

 

Thanks, again!

Can't find the specific thread, but as I recall, there was some discussion about track naming including '<artist> - <album> - <track>'  also being the result of server changes? Is this still considered an issue to be solved? Not a huge issue...

All good, ebr. Thanks again!

This has already been addressed in the album views.

 

 

If you are in a playlist, it will show the full title and, also, that coverflow view you showed which is actually showing an overview which is dynamically generated from contents.  I'll have to see if anything can be done there.

I've changed to a list view & I'm good with how it displays. Thanks for the explanation.

I fixed it for the coverflow overview when looking at albums too (not released yet).

@@ebr, one last thing I just noticed... all the library 'slice' images displayed on the home screen in a browser show up in EMC, EXCEPT for the music library image. See attached.

 

I figured it'd show up eventually, but after ~a week... nothing.
