when switching to play music from local device, the Albums there appear to be “scattered” and showing as multiple albums. It seems to be related to special characters, such as “Vašo Patejdl”.
The same album from the local NAS shows OK.
Tried to re-tag the album to avoid possible differences in album artist, but still not working. If I want to play the whole album, I either have to list it via “local files” or make a multiple selection…
Generated a log and sent it via E-mail. However not sure, what it will say, as I could only refresh the library to “reproduce the problem”. But the problem is somehow “static”, so not sure, if the library refresh will be able to reproduce it.
Yatse display the data that is inside your Android device database, as the logs show for your Android this is different albums, so Yatse displays it as different albums.
Use another player and most will display exactly the same thing.
Yatse does not touch or read the tags or the content of the files, it just display what Android gives.
Well, definitely I want to believe You, and especially I want it to get working, so we’re both on the same side (I hope)
One new thing learned - there’s something like Android device database, and Yatse is reading that, not directly the MP3 tags. I did not know that, so I can start looking in that direction.
As for other players - tired Media Player Classic, and it strangely shows only a fragment of all albums. None of them with the East Europe codepage. After a little playing around with that (including manually my SD card\Music directory) it loaded also the other albums - see the screenshots.
Here it really shows the albums correctly. But maybe the MPC is not (?!?) reading the Android database, but the Tags directly…
I did told you how to reset the Android database if it had bad data in it
Have you tested that and forced sync in Yatse? All I know is that there’s nothing I can on Yatse side if your device send wrong data Yatse will display wrong data.
