All, The 3rd time this has happened. I run Clementine, go to my library to create a playlist, and I notice albums are not in the listing. I almost exclusive use "Genre/Album" as my library GroupBy setting. Today in creating a holiday-themed playlist of pop Christmas music, I noticed albums by Take6, Straight No Chaser, and Pentatonix missing. And because this has happened before I checked and sure enough, there is now a new genre "Other." I just counted and there are 395 albums in this genre listing. WTH? I guarantee you have have not systematically opened and set the genre to "Other" for these 395 albums-- that would take a considerable amount of time.
The last two times this has happened, I simply did a complete rescan of the library and that "fixed" the issue -- all albums restored to their expected genre. Today though, I did not do that. Is something I awry with Clementine, perhaps a database, etc.? So, I uninstalled, removed the .config/Clementine folder, and the C:\Program Files (x86)/Clementine folder, and cleaned out the registry. And I downloaded the last nightly build. I installed the nightly and added my library folder to the settings. After the scan, those damned Other genre albums persisted. Now I've select "Tools - Do a full library rescan" and Clementine is doing that and it's taking a long time. I expect it too as I have a ginormous library (4000+ albums). Three questions ... 1. Any know what's up with this "Other" genre madness? 2. Where is the library DB stored? I thought that deleting .config/Clementine and C:\Program Files (x86)\Clementine would delete it and force Clementine to create everything from scratch. But now I see this is not so because when I reinstalled with the nightly and configured Clementine for my library, the time it took to present the library list was FAR shorter than it's taking now. 3. The last nightly was last done in November, 2017!?!? -- has development of Clementine ceased? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clementine Music Player" group.
