Library navigation behaving incorrectly
Posted: 22 Aug 2013, 17:50
Hello,
First of all I want to say hi all!! (this is my first post). Today I installed MadSonic for first time . As I have no previous experience I assume that what I'm going to tell is not a bug, but something that I don't know how to do. I tryied to solve the problem by myself prior to posting here, both reading and searching.
After the installation I added my media library, and while it was scanning I looked all the settings section. After muy collection was scanned (it's been done amaizingly fast!) I tryied to navigate withing it. I wen't to the "Artist" section and found it empty. when pressing a leter, it shows the genres instead of the artists. After that I can navigate into artists, discs and songs, but looks like MadSonic thinks that genres are artists:
Another test I did is to use the genre combo box from the left side. When I select a genre, it shows below just de genre again and then, when I click it, I get the artists in panel in the right. Then I entered with admin user and looked in the DB tables. Information seems to be ok there, so it's not a matter of the indexer.
In my music folder files are ordered in the following way: genre (directory) -> artist (directory) -> Album (directory) -> discs (directoy per CD if an album has more than one) -> songs (files). I navigated to an album containing discs subfolders, and seen the information displayed in this way in MadSonic instead of "album cd1" and "album cd2", so I can confirm that MadSonic is displaying the filesystem layout instead tags layout. I search in settings and option to change the layout from folders to tag, but I couldn't find it. How can it be done?
In addition I found a bug. In the genre combobox selector in the left panel, the first genre is missing. Both in "radio" section and from android apps, I'm able to se genre "10", that is missing in the combobox.
Could someone help me, please?
Regards
