No tracks in album, when browsed via artist

I'm running the minimserver on MAC and I'm using a Pinnacle (Roku) soundbridge as the client.

If I browse the list of artists, I can see the songs by that artist.
If I browse an album, I can also see the songs within that album
HOWEVER, I browse the artist and then browse the album within that artist on my soundbridge, it returns an empty list

e.g. if I browse The Beatles on my soundbridge as an artist and look up "All Matching Songs", I'll see every Beatles song I have. I will also see the album called "Revolver" but when I then look into "Revolver" there is nothing there. However, if I browse Revolver directly as an Album, the songs are there.

I'm not familiar with the Roku SoundBridge. There might be some problem in the way the Roku is interacting with MinimServer when you browse your library. From your description, it sounds like the Roku is creating its own browse tree rather than using the browse tree provided by MinimServer.

Quote:Here is a subset of the log, when scanning the directory:

Scanning directory David Gray
15:20:57.717 main: provisionally retaining cache entry for 'iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/David Gray/A New Day at Midnight/'
15:20:57.717 main: no cache entry for folder 'iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/David Gray/'
Scanning directory A New Day at Midnight
15:20:57.719 main: album=A New Day at Midnight albumArtist=David Gray artistType=4
Scanning directory White Ladder
15:20:57.721 main: album=White Ladder albumArtist=David Gray artistType=4

I'd be so grateful for any help!

This extract doesn't seem to be related to The Beatles or Revolver, so I'm not quite sure why you have posted it.

There might be some clues in the log entries that are produced when you are going through the browsing steps to show an album within an artist. Can you post these log entries for the browsing steps that cause the empty Revolver scenario that you mentioned?
