Serviio

Taking a look at this version for the new "embedded" audio file capture/embedded meta extraction.

First question, where is the option in the console to "enable" that specific feature? All the menus seem the same as 1.9.2.......am I missing something? I see the album art being pulled, album data is there but all the rest of the meta data present in the file is not shown.......should it?

Other thing, on the mp3 tags, my file names are LOOOOONG for reasons not important, be it, the filename itself is not the same as the title of the MP3, yet media browser in the title field is using the file name and not the MP3 title tag.

I "think" this may be a bug??

Anyone else seeing this?

the metadata will be used automatically. but to get them you'll need to reindex the affected files. Try to move an audio file to a new folder, is it coming with the metadata?

I do see "my" metadata coming across as it is in all CAPS. I wasn't sure because only "some" of the meta data is coming across. I would "assume" that all fields would show up like "album artist" and other fields that are present in the file.

Some people may never have them, but as I'm a DJ and meticulous with my data, I would expect to see all my fields or at least be able to "choose" which fields should be shown???

The BIGGEST issue is that "title" is showing the FILENAME of the file and not the actual title of the audio track, and that is super annoying as my filenames look like this:

{1} - MIXED MEDLEY BY CHRIS--NS7 MIX MEDLEY--BPM(91-117)--BITRATE(320)--YEAR(2011)--12INCH(NO).mp3

Where the title should just be: MIXED MEDLEY BY CHRIS

I can provide some screenshots if needed.

thanks for reviewing this.

Any thoughts?...bug or feature?

can you provide result of ffmpeg -i <file.mp3>

also, in the Folders category it always shows the file name. You should see the metadata title in the other categories (like Album, Artist, etc)

Here is a singular example. My 200k+ files are all coded the same way.

Looks like 1.10 DLNA functionality is now broken.

Is this correct? Do you need any more info?

Thanks,
Chris

Any further updates on what can be done to fix this?

Have you fixed this issue?

I have not encountered any similar issues after migrating to 1.10 then 1.10.1 when they were announced.
I have looked at some of my files including some .mp3 files (most of mine are .flac), using both my BubbleUPnP control app and under Serviio MediaBrowser, and they are displaying the Title correctly not a (different) Filename.

A couple of things to try are:
1. Duplicate a folder and set-up a test by modifying to use short folder names, short filenames, short titles e.g Folder1/File1 and Title1.
These might eliminate filenames with long names or characters that may be causing a problem.

Remember (as I understand it) Serviio is now using a different indexing system using the metadata.

2. Also try putting these files in a short path e.g. C:/Media1/ and adding this to your library in the console.
This would eliminate the issue of a very long path length which can also cause problems.

3. Remove your folders in the console (i.e. no media data), reboot your machine, and then reintroduce the media folders in the console.
This may take a while if you have a large library - so be patient.

4. Remove Serviio, reboot and reinstall Serviio. This may be simple if you you do not have a lot of configuration.

5. Do you have other formats other than .mp3 (e.g. .flac or .wav) and do these exhibit the same issue? My understanding is that Id tags/metadata is stored/held differently on .flac files to that on .mp3, and that .wav is different again. Could this be part of the problem?
