MP2 - V2.1 Audio tags aren't displayed propper (1 Viewer)

[Helios61]

Hi,
i've noticed, that some tags are not displayed propper, please take a look at the screenshot: missing tag for Komponist (COMPOSER) and Typ. BTW, what kind of tag is Typ ?
Furthermore, the text for Artist and AlbumArtist doesn't scroll, but i think this is skin related, @ge2301?
Logfiles, screenshot and Mediainfo.txt of the title are attached.

This could also be due the tag not being stored at all. Do you have experience in verifying sqlite databases with external tools so that you verify the database content?

BTW, what kind of tag is Typ ?

I have no clue. I just translated the English "Type" into the respective German word

Furthermore, the text for Artist and AlbumArtist doesn't scroll, but i think this is skin related

Posting this separately in ge2301's skin section would help him to focus on skin issues.

Type means file type, e.g. MP3, Wav, flac, ...
I'll overwork the audio footer as in WMC skin until final release. Scrolling text I want to avoid as much as possible, it's simply looks not nice and it's confusing, if everything is moving.

Well, then this tag is also missing. @Helios61 , please let me know if you need help for looking into the database itself. I would be really interested to check if the fields are actually filled or not.

Yes i need a little bit help. Have done so with MP1 databases, but never with MP2. Where is the databse stored an which tool do i need to check this?

Hi.
The MP2 Database is stored in (assuming a default installation):
c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Database\
and is named "Datastore.s3db"
It is a normal SQLite Database and can be viewed with every SQLite Tool like SQLiteExpert (Free version is enough) or similar.

In ProgramData under Server in Database. However, I just peeked into it and saw that the content is not full text but compressed binary information. The standard SQL browsers don't work for this.

I verified some test music here, which contains info for composer. While playing with the views I did see the composers in one of them but am now not able to reproduce this. So I believe that this is a skin issue and/or missing bindings.

But I can't filter by composer so there is definitely something wrong. Composer information in my test tags contains multiple names that are separated by semicolon.

@Brownard : Would you mind taking a look at the composer part in filtering?

Filter by composer is working fine here, but only in List- and Rasterview @ge2301 ? Cover View doesn't work with this filter.

Not here - but I am having only one album in the test share, yet with different composers. So this might be the reason
