Similar bug happens with "Down" getting some "System of a Down" 's CDs listed under it's albums folder.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I have the following problem with music database and latest svn.
When I navigate into a folder in MyMusic, pressing F9 and select "Search for new files" nothing is added to the database. I have to admint that I have never used the music db in the past so it is possible that I miss something obvious how the thing has to be used at all.
Settings in configuration.exe are as shown in the screenshot.
When scanning the whole share from within configuration.exe it seems to work.
Thank's for your help.

On drive C where MP resides about 4 GB free space.
On the share with the music about 800 GB free, but why should this be important.
From what I understand data is only read from that share. This share is read only
for MP so maybe that is the problem?

Another question.
Can it be avoided that in share view every track name is prefixed by the interpret if the track is in the database?
For tracks not in database only the filename or the trackname found in the id tag is displayed.
For tracks in the db it is always prefixed by interpret + "-".
IMHO this is not consistent and quite annoying if you have organized your share like "one folder per album".

Quick reply from me: I will adapt the Global Search plug-in to work with the new structure tomorrow (at least, I will try to 
) Luckily I have some time, so let's hope it will be adapted tomorrow so it'll work with the latest database structure.
Stay tuned!

Hi everybody,
I am using MP 0.2.3 and the last SVN (october 5) and I can't see the icons for the albums. I explain:
In just one folder I have all my MP3 files, perfectly tagged with the album cover art (that means that different files can have the same album cover art, of course).
I always use the same view for "my music" because it is, for me, the most logical one: artist (icons) - albums (album view) and then tracks (file)
No problem for artist: MP downloads a picture from internet.
Album: no view at all
Tracks: no problem each track appears with the correct thumbnail of the album it belongs to.
Why I don't have icon for each album??
I think that this is due to the new database because I never had this problem with the previous version of MP (0.2.2 and last SVN)
I spent all this day trying to understand, and nothing, that is why I decided to post, to ask your help and to THANK YOU in advance!

Hi guys!
I've updated the Global Search plug-in to support the new database format. For some that is good news I guess Expect an upload soon (since I first have to do some testing and for some reason my house doesn't understand how to clean itself) .
About the new database structure: Why didn't we use 'views'? In that way the database structure would've stayed the same, the retrieval of data would be as fast as the current structure and there would be no denormalization, something I am principally against. It is true that changing data (alter, insert, delete) takes a bit longer, but that's not really noticeable when you're adding data on the fly. I only can think of the upsides of this method, maybe it has downsides too, maybe you guys have thought about that
Please let me know! Thanks and expect the new version soon!
Edit: By the way, you can't search on 'filename' anymore, since filename is removed from the database structure, in stead it will search the complete path + filename for your search phrase, something I'm not completely happy about, but it isn't a show stopper

Okay here we go, the new beta for Global Search is available! I've submitted it to the MediaPortal homepage, but I've attached it onto this forum post as well. Have fun with it!
