Issue with album artist in offline mode

Postby cyrus » Sat Dec 28, 2013 11:54 am

Hi there - I upgraded my server over the weekend to v 4.9 beta 3 and compilation albums now display correct artist name rather than "various artists". This holds true for DSub in online mode, but in offline mode, cached tracks show "various artists" not the artist name - even for those freshly re-downloaded. The stock music player shows artist name correctly, so this appears to be an issue with DSub - but only in offline mode. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks

Update: I think I have resolved this now. All my files on my server are in ogg format but were being transcoded into mp3 format when downloaded, losing metadata in the process. Although the stock music player appeared to display the correct metadata yesterday, it isn't today!

Anyway, amending the transcoding settings to exclude ogg from the "convert from" field appears to have the desired result and metadata is now shown correctly

So, issue was server side and nothing to do with DSub - apologies!

Alright that is good to know I just tried it myself and it seems to work fine for me using mp3
