I have a folder structure like this:
SlimServer Music\
Phil's Music -> shortcut to another path
Music Downloads -> shortcut to another path
...Music\Music Downloads\
Artist\
Album\
01 tracktitle.flac
02 tracktitle.flac
This works fine, except some of my music downloads don't have particularly nice
filenames or tags. Eg:
\Music\Music Downloads\Anathema\anathema
2004-09-10\anathema2004-09-10t01.flac
My "guess tags" settings are:
/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM - TITLE
/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM. TITLE
/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM
/ARTIST/ALBUM/TITLE
I would assume the example tracks above to match on the last "guess tag" entry.
eg. working backwards, "anathema2004-09-10t01" would be the track name,
"anathema 2004-09-10" would be the album, and "Anathema" would be the artist.
However, slimserver scanning actually guesses this as artist="Music",
album="Music Downloads" and track="Anathema".
Eventually I will get round to renaming the files and adding tags. In the mean
time (because I have quite a few instances like this, probably a couple of
thousand), are there any ways I can improve the way the scanning guesses tags?
It would appear (as someone else recently summised in another thread) that
slimserver scans forward through the absolute filepath, rather than working
backwards through the filepath. Changing the scanning code to work backwards
from the filepath would probably have an instant great affect on the results
for me.
As another example, I have some filenames that are eg "T01.flac". I assume
guess tags can't currently work out the track number because there's no way to
get it to ignore the "T". Is it not possible to specify better expressions to
aid the guessing process? eg. "T{TRACKNUM}".
Phil
