I just set up a new SlimServer last night (version 6.5.2) and scanned my entire collection. I'm seeing some interesting behavior. If I navigate by Artist to "New Pornographers" I see a single album (Twin Cinema). I don't see "Electric Version" or "Mass Romantic". If I navigate by Album I can get to "Mass Romantic" and the artist is correctly listed as "New Pornographers". There is only 1 entry for that artist in the artist list (I've checked under T also to make sure that they weren't being incorrectly sorted with a "The" at the front).
This behavior doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I haven't looked at the database structure, but I've been assuming it is normalized and as long as the album is indexed with the artist name I should be able to go at it from either direction and get the same results. Based on what I'm seeing I'd have to guess that the database is not normalized and there is information being duplicated and somehow getting corrupted. When I had the same music collection indexed on a different computer under the previous server version (6.5.1 IIRC) all albums appeared under the artist (actually, one of them had a "The" in front, but they appeared side-by-side in the artist list). Any suggestions? Thanks.
