Grouping tag not working for tagnavi_custom.config

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I am trying to use the grouping tag in a custom tagnavi_custom.config file but the values that I see is the title tag.

So if I have

#! rockbox/tagbrowser/2.0
%format "fmt_title_grouping"       "%s - %s - %s" grouping artist title

%menu_start "custom" "Database"
"Grouping"   -> grouping   -> title = "fmt_title_grouping"

I see the following: title - artist - title
So it would seem something is wrong, the grouping tag returns the same values as the title tag.

I am running rockbox 3.4 on Ipod 5.5 80G.

Can anyone else confirm that the grouping tag is not working as expected.

roolku:
Hm. Works for me as expected. Please make sure the files actually have a grouping tag as otherwise the title tag is used instead. Also if you have added the grouping tags recently the database may not be up-to-date? Maybe you can provide an affected file for testing?

Hi,

I have checked that the mp3 files have the grouping tag, and I have also completely re-initialised the database by deleting it first.

I have found that this works correctly:

#! rockbox/tagbrowser/2.0


%format "fmt_title2"       "%s - %s - %s" grouping artist title

# Define the title of the main menu
%menu_start "custom" "Database"
"Artist(Grouping Sok-Old-Art)"   -> grouping ? grouping @ "Something1|Something2"  -> title = "fmt_title2"

But this:
"Artist(Grouping)"   -> grouping -> title = "fmt_title2"
doesn't work.

It displays a long list of tracks and if I click on one I see the format: title - artist - title?

Am I missing something?

Could you confirm that you really mean what you say here? When you select Artist(Grouping) you get "<All tracks>", "<Random>"  and a list of track names ? So it is not only affecting the formatting but the filter as well?

This really points to missing or not correctly read grouping tags. When you select a track from the list to play it and look at its "Track Info", does it list the grouping under [work]?

Hi,

Sorry I now realise what you meant for missing grouping tags, as not all my mp3's have grouping tags, only about a third.
So for all mp3's that don't have a grouping tag, the title is used instead.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening, so that for all mp3's where the grouping tag is not set they should just be ignored, or a grouping of "" should be used and not the title?

This is how I saw it now:
I have also found that if I use this:
"Grouping (new)"   -> grouping ? grouping ~ "new" -> title = "fmt_title2"

I get back the mp3's that either has the letters "new" in the grouping field OR in the title if they don't have a grouping field.

So if I click on Grouping (new) I see:
<All tracks>
<Random>
a-new -> If I click on this I get a number of mp3's with the grouping tag that is a-new, this is fine. (Looks like this: a-new - Coldplay - Life in Technicolor, which is correct!)

I knew I loved you -> If I click on this I get two songs with the title "I knew I loved you"
(looks like this: I knew I loved you - Savage Garden - I knew I loved you, which is not what I expected, the first field which is the grouping tag is displaying the title of the mp3, but the tag is empty in the mp3.)
