Folder Stacking / Combining when viewing "All Folders&a

Postby Orbitrix » Mon May 30, 2011 1:22 am

I like to keep my FLAC and MP3's seperate. Its a personal preference so that I can easily tell what needs to be upgraded to FLAC down the road, when it becomes available.

my folder structure is as follows:

C:\Music\FLAC
C:\Music\MP3
C:\Music\WAV
C:\Music\Podcasts

Sometimes an artist will have some content only in FLAC, and some content only availible in MP3. So i might end up with a Radiohead folder under FLAC and a Radiohead folder under MP3, like such:

C:\Music\FLAC\Radiohead
C:\Music\MP3\Radiohead

Now if i add both C:\Music\FLAC and C:\Music\MP3 to my subsonic in the web interface, everything goes smoothly. When you view "All Folders" in the web interface it even combines the 2 folders into 1 "virtual folder" where all my Radiohead exists. So when viewing "all folders" all my Radiohead appears to be in one place. (even though it is technically in 2 places)

Why does this work fine in the web interface, but in the Android Client, i end up with 2 separate Radiohead folders when viewing "All folders"? Is this a bug, or an oversight? It would be a very nice feature to have for people who's music collection wont fit on 1 hard drive, or who manage the quality of their music like I do across multiple directories.

Basically: When viewing "All folders" in the android client, it would be nice for it to combine folders of the same name (and their contents)

The same thing is happening to me and I'm pretty sure it's a recent change. We have re-ripped our music library but have several folders with potentially the same artists within. I'm now getting those artists listed multiple times. Kind of annoying since it makes my artist list about half again as long as it ought to be. Please fix!

EDIT: And, yes, as the previous user states - it looks/works just fine in the web interface. It's the Android app artist list that is showing the artist multiple times.
