If you did not apply filters, can yo narrow down the problem by using a starting folder filter to be able to verify the correctness of a smaller catalog subset.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.5 (ACC)
Hi Frank, a couple more enhancement requests (which I don't think I have talked to you about yet!) 1. Remove the 'Tracks' heading in the Album Catalog. I don't think it's needed. 2. Have a no wraparound option for Track names. I have a naming convention where information about live tracks is put in square brackets after the track name and some titles can be very long. I would like these to be truncated as I get the idea after 80+ characters. So instead of seeing '26 - The Choir Of King's College, Cambridge - Es Ist Ein' Ros' Entsprungen (A Great And Mighty CRWonder) (3:10)' I would prefer '26 - The Choir Of King's College, Cambridge - Es Ist Ein' Ros' Entsprungen (A Great And...' (3.10) 3. Have a no wraparound option for genres. In Compilation albums I have genre per track (based on the artist). So I have the same issue as point2. So I would like 'Alternative, Dance, Electronic, Hip Hop/Rap...' instead on 'Alternative, Dance, Electronic, Hip Hop/Rap,CR Pop, RB/Soul, Rock' What do you think?

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.5 (ACC)
In case it helps, I am experiencing similar issues. I haven't really had a go at sorting out my artwork and metadata to date, your app will be a great help in that regard (so thankyou). When I look at my music library via SBS, I've got around half of the albums showing artwork, with the others blank. I am running SBS on a thecus nas box (linux), and the music library sits on the nas box as well. When I run your catalogue creator, all of the images have a red cross on them - and appear to be linking to locations that do not exist. Looking at the generated html, the images reference is being built as follows: http://milhouse:9000/music//cover.jpg (where is a different numeric reference for each album).

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.5 (ACC)
Hi there, great app! I have a couple of issues though I hope you can help with. Firstly I get other artists appearing against some tracks. This happens when an album name is shared between artists. eg Alanis Morissette - The Collection. The track listing says 1. Thank U - Ft. Shed Seven, Ultravox. How can I get the tracklisting clean, ie not to use this 'featuring' option. 2nd question is how do I get all my album art to display? I use embedded art but it doesn't show on all albums. All my art is 600x600 and some files are quite large (upto approx. 400KB) could this cause an issue? Also I have the album art in each folder as well which I could use but it's in the format Artist - Album.jpg. Is this format supported in the Alternative coverart filename option? If so how do I enter it?

Disable the Table of Contents generations when configuring ACC for the first time. I expect that ACC has a bug in error handling an empty .CAT file because no data was retrieves because of improper configuration. When everything is configured right, enable the TOC option again.

You can then choose between the small and a normal size font. I can make it configurable by let the user enter the font size but a large font will result in the page pagination going wrong as more lines tend to break because the line will not fit into the space anymore. But I think you will already be happy with the normal size font. Originally the catalog was meant for print and the small font is more readable then but I can imagine that some also would like i.e. a PDF version and the tracks font tend to be too small. By the way; the font is a normal true type font, not a bitmap. The feature to indicate what codec is used was already requested by another user and it has been added to my todo list for the next version. I think there are two options to implement; 1. indicate in the album header 2. indicate for each track I will implement option 1 as option two seems to be over the top because all tracks most likely will be made with the same codec.

BTW, if you set the squeezecenter option to ignore leading articles (The, Der, Die, Das, Le, La,...) you don't need the option in ACC, because in the database table the artists are stored without articles in the namesort field. -- eyeball eyeball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66555 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.5 (ACC)
The ARTISTSORT is working now (just three minor changes to your script :) ). But I discovered another problem. When an album is released by more than one artist, like Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (which often happens with jazz albums), I'm tagging the album with ARTIST = Jon Anderson; Bill Bruford; Rick Wakeman; Steve Howe ALBUMARTIST = Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe The ARTIST tagging lets Squeezecenter list the album under each of the named artists and under the band name. When I use ACC and enable the track listing, the album is correctly listed under the band name, but each of the tracks is listed four times (as many times as artists are involved). So I get: Tracks: 1 - Themes (5:58) 1 - Themes (5:58) 1 - Themes (5:58) 1 - Themes (5:58) 2 - Fist Of Fire (3:32) 2 - Fist Of Fire (3:32) 2 - Fist Of Fire (3:32) 2 - Fist Of Fire (3:32) 3 - Brother Of Mine (10:22 ...

Do you have an idea why this happens and can you find a solution? Good to hear you've got the Artistsort issue solved. As for the multiple track artist issue: SC creates a separate database entry for each performing artist in the database. A database query then results in multiple records for each track which is why ACC repeats a track multiple times as it does not yet cope with this. It would require considerable effort to provide this support which I would gladly invest however as of version 8 of squeezecenter, the whole database design is changed. To prevent a lot of work now and again on version 8 I will put the effort in the SC8 compatible version. To be honest, the transition to version 8 will make it more difficult to interface with and may even come to a scenario where the database file has to be copied first locally before ACC will be able to get the data out of it. ACC may become more user unfriendly but this is due to Logitechs choice to leave MySQL as database platform and use SQlite which doesn't support remote access natively. I'm wondering if the multiple artist issue can be solved within an SQL statement. That is that within the global query ACC performs which essentially creates a temporary database table, is it possible to combine multiple artists to a single string? If there are any ACC users who are really good in SQL and are willing to help me out on this one please drop me a mail. If it can be solved using SQL it would make the fix a lot easier to implement and I'll implement it in the version that support SC7.x instead of waiting for 8. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66555 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.5 (ACC)
For Windows 7 users; The font size is larger causing the GUI layout (not the catalogs) to be slighty off what it should be. This is because Windows 7, by default, uses a display font size of 125% instead of 100%. To solve the issue, either change the global windows setting to 100% or use the CTRL key with the mouse scroll wheel and the mouse pointer on the ACC screen to lower the zoom factor to 100%. I believe that changing the zoom factor within Internet Explorer also has the same effect as ACC actually shares this setting with Internet Explorer. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66555 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Squeezecenter is using it and you wrote a Squeezecenter addon. So why not implementing it? I did some research with a db viewer.
