Ignored DISCSUBTITLE value

[paulg]

I happened to look at my log recently and found it is full of warnings similar to the example below.

Warning: ignored DISCSUBTITLE value '1989-Present' with no disc number in file Marillion/The Best Of Both Worlds/CD 2/Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury (Radio Edit).flac

When I have a multi disc album I will tag it with (disc x) after the album title and totally remove the discnumber tag as I didn't think it was needed anymore.

In the example above I have the album title:

The Best Of Both Worlds (Disc 1)
The Best Of Both Worlds (Disc 2)

You can see I have used a DISCSUBTITLE as well for each disc.

I have no issues as everything works but I have noticed that re scanning can take longer and was wondering if it is because it is looking for a disc number tag as well.

If that is the case is there a way to stop scanning reading the disc number tag.

The "ignored DISCSUBTITLE value with no disc number" message is confusing and incorrect. The DISCSUBTITLE value has not been ignored. I will remove this message in the next MinimServer update.

To prevent DISCNUMBER tags from being read by a MinimServer rescan, you can set the aliasTags property to this:

DiscNumber:nil

Many thanks for this.

The confusing DISCSUBTITLE message has been removed in MinimServer update 260.
