Hi. I'm trying to customize my music collection on MediaTomb by means of a custom import script. I've been able to get ArtistSort working (though it took some code changes). However, it's all moot if the albums I'm assembling through import aren't complete, and that's the issue I'm posting about today.
If I create my hierarchy through the "builtin" method, then the DLNA clients see information at the album level which trigger it to display options like "Play All", "Add to Queue" etc (i.e. some kind of default playlist is enabled). However, if I create the hierarchy through a custom import script, even the default sample that ships with MusicBrainz, I see nothing at the album level. All that is shown are the tracks themselves, so if I want to play the album I need to play each track individually.
I've observed this in two different uPnP clients, Creation 5 (iPad) and BubblePNP (Android). I'm running the current version 0.12.2 built from source on Debian
Thanks for any assistance.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've located the problem, a coding error in the Javascript support classes. The good news is that it's likely not going to behave this way except on a debug build (which I was running), so anyone running a prebuilt package will likely be fine.
