Incorrect database update of genre

(1/2) > >>

caasland:
I've been using rockbox for a few days on  Sansa e280 and noticed that a couple genre's are misread by the database.

For example, one song shows up in Genre 'Me' when it should he 'Metal'. I have the same problem podcasts showing up in "Pod" or "Podc" when they should be in "Podcast".

The tags are correct, and both the original firmware and MediaMonkey displays the correct Genre's.

Should I create a bug report out of this, or has it been resolved (I wasn't able to find another similar problem).

soap:
When you say the tags are correct...what kind of tags are we talking about?
ID3v1?  ID3v2.3?  ID3v2.4?  Other?
I strongly suspect if you view the raw tags of the files in question you will find truncated versions of them.

caasland:
Using mp3tag I can view the v1 and v2.3 tags which looks fine.

Is there another way to view the "raw" tags?

bascule:
Have you got lots of info in any of the other metadata fields (like really long artist/album names, or long comment strings)?

I seem to recall that there is a fixed (total) size of metadata read per file and that the rest just gets discarded (cut off) when it's full...

caasland:
The comments section is pretty long.

so ... Does that imply that if one field has lots of data, the Rockbox software will discard data from other fields?
