Music library/metadata issues after updating to 3.2.34

I updated my music server (Win7 box) to 3.2.34 today, and did a library scan as I'd added a couple of albums. When checking album view on my jazz library I noticed that a number of albums have lost album artist info (see below), even though they were perfect before and I had locked them from further changes.

I checked my other libraries and the same has happened there, over 50 albums in my main music library are affected.

 

I found I can fix it by going to each one, unchecking the "lock" on the metadata and saving, then queuing a metadata refresh on the album. This is very time consuming though. And what is most worrying is that I then locked the albums again from further metadata changes, ran a library scan - and they lost the album artist again!

 

This hasn't been an issue with previous versions of the server. Has something changed under the hood in this regard? (I save metadata in the content folders and download images in advance is enabled)

 

Thanks

Looking further into it, it seems to be albums where I've locked the metadata from further changes (although not all of these locked albums). So I guess I'll have to leave them all unlocked even when happy with the metadata, as something I did to actually prevent future issues seems to be causing the issues now.

Ok yea this is due to database changes that have occurred along the way, although not in this particular release. But the lock is preventing them from being updated. It's just a scenario that slipped through the cracks. We'll have to look at it, thanks.

Ok, thank you.

(One of the confusing aspects of this is that some of the albums have been there a while, but that 'Moanin' one was added in the last day or so)
