TagFormat is not working properly

[ischowam]

I have to appologise causing irritations and mentioning wrong facts.
There were copies of these files on the harddisc really containing "-None-" as the album name. I did not get that. Everything works as described by you. Sorry again.

Too bad.
I guess that could solve all my issues: if only available tags within the individual file is being used solely for the displayFormat.

Example: " -None- [20032002] "

I've tried to replicate this but if my files don't have an album tag then I don't see the album.displayformat at all, only the title.displayformat and the artist tag.

Is there a chance to force Minimserver to display the year anyway even if there is no album-tag, but a year-tag?

Why would you put these two albums in the same folder anyway, assuming we're still talking about folder view?

As said: Won't happen often, if at all. (Maybe compiled tracks from different "Greatest Hits") from ONE Artits.
In my case (a former "Party-Mix" folder with copies in) I would use a playlist instead today.
Please see this as cleared.

BTW: Thank you for your patience going through all these details and for still replying!
