I am having trouble with this new release on Windows 8, Java 8. Albums are missing from the library. They can be found on the folder view, but are missing from the library view. If I downgrade to an older release, they come back into the library.

I have many duplicate albums recorded at different resolutions. Prior to this release, minimserver handled the duplicates appropriately. Has the logic here changed?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Many thanks,

Larry

There shouldn't be any difference with how MinimServer handles duplicate albums in 0.8.3. If these albums have the same name and artist and you have the mergeFolderAlbums property set to true, you need to use a match filter to prevent the duplicate albums being merged. Are you doing this?

Which control point are you using to view the library?

Can you see any pattern in the albums that are missing? For example, are they all duplicates of other albums that are not missing?

The mergeFolderAlbums property is set to false. The problem manifests itself using both Lumim and the Linn Kazoo apps. Minimserver 0.8.2 does not exhibit this issue.

It is hard to say if this only happens on duplicates. By sampling, I would say yes, but I don't know for sure. Running 0.8.2 shows an album count of 5138, and on 0.8.3 an album count of 4419.
