[QUOTE="Wo0zy, post: 768332, member: 73741"] Hi Guys, When doing an Album lookup using GMA ([url]http://localhost:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetAllAlbums?sort=0&order=0[/url]), some albums are returned multiple times. This happens if some of the fields returned are different in the album's metadata. For example the "AlbumArtists" and "Artists" fields. Obviously this sort of thing can happen a lot even (especially?) with accurate metadata tags. I've extracted the following example for reference {"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["Albert Collins "," Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0}, {"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["B.B. King "," Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0}, {"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0}, This is one album which happens to have two tracks with guest artists. In Mediaportal this album is only displayed once and has all the correct tracks but in aMPdroid the album appears three times. Not really sure if this is something that should/ could be fixed in GMA or in aMPdroid so I apologise if I've posted this in the wrong thread. All the best, Mick. [/QUOTE]
