Re: Album image not showing ~20% of albums

But I guess this will get a bit old quickly for you with 680+ tracks affected, unless it is just 50 or 60 whole albums which are affected. I've spent too much time already trying to make MM5 work. The Server issue (mixing Album Artist with Artist view) is not fixed yet either. Back to MM4 and I'll ...

That did not change anything. Same result.

Re: Album image not showing ~20% of albums

When I do that (files to edit>unknown artwork) it list 683 files of 21k total and ~90% of them don't show embedded artwork (just the cd icon) in list by album view but ~10% do. When I go to properties>artwork for a sampling of ~30 of the 683 the embedded image is there, I click next, next, next and ...

Re: Album image not showing ~20% of albums

I am using 2524. Re-scanning fixed the issue with the files that could not be located (I had forgotten I changed the name of a few in MM4 since I last used 5) But the bulk of the issue remains, the album in album view doesn't show the art, but it is there in each individual track and the art file is...

Album image not showing ~20% of albums

I believe this was addressed prior, but I can't find the thread with solution MM5 2524 is not showing about 20% of the album covers in album view. 100% of my tracks have the album cover embedded and I use the exact same jpg image in all tracks under the Album. I have zero images in folders. No issue...

Re: Media Server 'Artist' folder includes 'Album Artist' [#18544] [#18545]

I am puzzled by ludeks response to the item. It notes that 'Artist' replaces 'Artist & Album Artist' in MM5. But what replaces 'Artist'? That is a crucial node and folder for effectively browsing certain collections. It breaks the MM4 Media Server functionality established for years and breaks t...

Re: Media Server 'Artist' folder includes 'Album Artist'

If intentional, then it was not thought out as to the impact to those who have used MM4 for years and have carefully tagged 10's of thousands of files to independently use each Artist and AlbumArtist field for organizing. I also have seen no documentation on this change - hence thinking it was in er...

Re: Media Server 'Artist' folder includes 'Album Artist'

I do hope this gets addressed as a bug as it breaks the normally logical MM. My work-around of course is to keep using MM4, but at some point I expect I may need to move to MM5. In MM4 when I configure a Collection's nodes to display I get this 1:1 mapping to Media Server folders: Node-> Folder Arti...

Re: Media Server 'Artist' folder includes 'Album Artist'

It makes it harder to navigate as my Artist list gets cluttered with un-wanted repetitive Album Artists of slight variation. This is especially the case for jazz albums which are the vast majority of my collection and over the years I have maintained an accurate Artists list for each track and prima...

Media Server 'Artist' folder includes 'Album Artist' [#18544] [#18545]

I've started to experiment MM5 Media Server and it seems the 'Artist' folder is also including data from 'Album Artist' field. This is not the functionality as in MM4. In the Media Tree in MM5 itself the 'Artist' node is correct and only shows 'Artists'. Will Gold license allow me to add/adjust the ...

Re: Question about sorting by alphabetical artist

Related to this is there a way to ignore a leading symbol when sorting alphabetically?

For example for the album and song named: 'Round Midnight it would be nice if it sorted with the R's.
Another case an album called: (Détail)

Re: The main panel view.

It would be very helpful if the font size could be changed/scaled like it was possible in MM4. MM5 data text is too small and if I change my overall Windows scaling higher the menus for all my other applications is too large. In Microsoft applications I can change the size of the data text independe...

DLNA small issues

It works well with mp3 to my Roku device but a few nits. 1. Often (most?) times when the second and subsequent tracks plays it will play the first second, pause a moment, then continue. I have not tried any debug yet, but wonder if this is more likely the player end (Roku) or MM4? I am guessing some...

Re: Track Summary and Summary columns [#16600]

I use Album Artist for the name of the artist/band/performer on the Album jacket. One matched entry for every track on the Album. Artist(s) is the list of all musicians that performs on each track, by track.
