Rockbox 4.0 - Album Artist changed behaviour

<< < (2/5) > >>

Bilgus:
https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DataBase#tagnavi.config_v2.0_Syntax
you make a custom entry

croxis:
I need help creating it.
Here are my unsuccessful attempts:

These seemed straightforward but I can't seem to find a solution with the syntax. Neither of these worked.

--- Code: ---"Album Artist" -> albumartist | artist  -> album  -> title = "fmt_title"
"Album Artist" -> albumartist ? albumartist | artist  -> album  -> title = "fmt_title"
--- End code ---

bahus:
I'm not expert in tagnavi so I might be wrong but from what I see in docs   - <filter> (that's what you try to define) doesn't support custom formatting. It's defined as simple as:


--- Quote ---is a tag field (see below for supported tag fields)
--- End quote ---

The only place that supports custom formatting is track title:

--- Quote ---Note: a %format string can be used for formatting only the track title. It cannot be used for formatting within the album hierarchy
--- End quote ---

croxis:
Should I just re-tag my entire library?

Copying 'artist' -> 'albumartist' on everything that isn't a split or compilation? Seems a bit redundant.

I can't seem to figure out the custom entry for the previous behaviour.

Bilgus:
give me a day or two I have to look into how the custom entries work in regards to the empty "" string as it keeps popping a search prompt, an option is to add artist to all the album artist fields but I'd rather not make users do that
