I did some further tests.
My issue is not related to typos, mismatches or "special" characters.

It looks like that tag update facility is not working as expected.
It is "only" working for the last 3 lines.

If I just change the order (copy and paste), it also changes the result.
I can re-produce it.

Second test:

@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ARTIST=Lenny Kravitz
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz

@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ARTIST=Robbie Williams
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams


Bose Soundtouch App / BubbleUPnP:
Greatest Hits
Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams

To take the guesswork out of what the tagUpdate option is doing you could enable the writeTagChanges option and view exactly what changes are being made.

This could happen if both Lenny Kravitz and Robbie Williams are featured as artists on the same Greatest Hits album. Alandbush's suggestion should show whether this is the case.


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - Birdy - 09-02-2020 11:54

I enabled the writeTagChanges option.

I changed tagupdate from ARTIST to ALBUMARTIST to have a unique value.

TEST 1
tagupdate.txt:
@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Lenny Kravitz
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz

@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Robbie Williams
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams

writeTagChanges.txt:
File: Old/Robbie Williams/Greatest Hits/01 Old Before I Die.mp3
removed: ALBUM=Greatest Hits
added: ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams
(more lines for this album)

No /line entry for Lenny Kravitz

TEST 2
tagupdate.txt:
@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Robbie Williams
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams

@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Lenny Kravitz
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz

writeTagChanges.txt:
File: Old/Lenny Kravitz/Greatest Hits/01 Are You Gonna Go My Way.mp3
removed: ALBUM=Greatest Hits
added: ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz
(more lines for this album)

No /line entry for Robbie Williams

That test clearly supports your earlier assumption. That’s good, I suppose. Thanks.


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - simoncn - 09-02-2020 17:37

Thanks for providing this information. I have reproduced the problem here and I am working on a fix.


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - simoncn - 14-02-2020 13:13

The fix is available now in MinimServer update 134. You need to change your tag update file slightly. Instead of:

Code:
@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Lenny Kravitz
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz

@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Robbie Williams
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams

you need:

Code:
@ALBUM=Greatest Hits
&ALBUMARTIST=Lenny Kravitz
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Lenny Kravitz
&ALBUMARTIST=Robbie Williams
=ALBUM=Greatest Hits - Robbie Williams
....etc.

with no blank lines between the artist names. This new syntax is described in the Tag update file section.


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - Birdy - 15-02-2020 10:47

Hi Simon,

thanks for the quick fix! Really appreciated!
So far my QNAP Intel is not updated to 134 (.autoupdate = true).
I will check it, as far I receive the update.

Birdy


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - Birdy - 15-02-2020 11:02

Update 134 tested now. It is working as expected / described.
Thanks again!


RE: Same Album Title - Different Album Artist - simoncn - 15-02-2020 11:10

Apologies, this should have been set to autoupdate yesterday. It is set to autoupdate now.
