Troubleshooting problem with file numbering display

[simbun]

Hi Budgie,

First off, you're actually getting advice from two people, simoncn (author of MinimServer) and simbun (a MinimServer user). Fortunately we're both Simon so 'Hi Simon' works, but that may help to explain why the replies don't necessarily follow.

As an experiment I mocked up an album to see what it would look like through folder view and when added to the playlist.

I used a single CD album consisting of 10 tracks to base my changes on, and I removed the DISCNUMBER from tracks 7-10, and changed the tags AlbumArtist and Album for tracks 5-10 so they differed from tracks of 1-4. This aproximates what we saw with your tags from the listing.

When I browse using [folder view] to the folder, and add the contents to a playlist the results I see are:

Code:

Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 7
Track 8
Track 9
Track 10
Track 5
Track 6

This replicates what you're seeing, the difference is I also see this in the folder view too, so I assume you have some 'folder.sortTags{} setting in affect?

If I change just the DiscNumber so that all tracks match then they're sorted correctly in both locations.

At this point we need to confirm what changes you've made, so could you run the following again:

Code:

rm -f minim_tags.txt
for f in *.flac; do
        echo '##' $f >> minim_tags.txt
        metaflac --export-tags-to=tags.tmp "$f"
        cat tags.tmp >> minim_tags.txt
        rm tags.tmp
done

There's no need to include the contents here, but could you look through minim_tags.txt to check that all the tracks have the same DiscNumber? The format is simply ## file name, followed by the tags belonging to that file.

I'll have a play with EasyTag shortly.
