Exception on Melco after upgrade to 188 - fixed in update 189

[Peter@57m]

Simon,

Upgraded to 188 on my Melco and now getting exception as soon as I try to access the library after it restarts - see below:

I have rebooted Melco but same result

MinimServer Melco is running

Removed serverOptions indexArtwork=all and seems to be working OK

Re-applied and albums, items and playlists OK, exception when I select Artist index

Thanks for letting me know about this. There is something about your library that is different from all those I have used in my testing. I have looked at the code and I don't see anything obviously wrong.

The quickest way for me to find the problem is from a debug log. Please set the logging level to Debug, then select the Artist index to trigger the exception. From the log window, click 'Save as' to save a log file, then compress this file to save space (zip or similar) and attach the file to a post here. Many thanks.

Here is the file

Just FYI - I tried 188 on my QNAP and with indexArtist=and it too had an exception with the Artist index

[simoncn]

I have found what looks like the problem. Are you using indexFormat or any other setting that changes the Artist index value from what is in the Artist tag?

I have

tagOptions all.ignore.sort={The,THE,the}
tagFormat Artist.displayFormat={$artist$orchestra$conductor}

nothing else I think that alters Artist

also have album.displayFormat={$album$quality$Custom2}

I have just tried indexArtwork=folder as I have 39 images in that folder - this works OK. I have 1347 albums in total, so its one of the others :-)

“View” of profile

itemTags = Composer,Conductor,Orchestra,#audioduration,quality,REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN
listViewAlbums = 30
startupScan = false
stream.transcode = flac:wav24,mp3:wav24,aac:wav24
tagFormat = Artist.displayFormat={$artist$orchestra$conductor},album.displayFormat={$album$q​uality$Custom2},title.displayFormat={$title$#AudioDuration$REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN​}
tagOptions = Custom4.yearMonth.index.sort,CREATION_DATE.decade.index,Date.yearOnly.*,all.igno​re.sort={The,THE,the}
tagUpdate = /mnt/disk1/share/tagUpdate.txt

[simoncn]

Thanks for this. The all.ignore.sort setting would trigger the bug I have found. I will release a new update tomorrow with a fix.

[Peter@57m]

Glad you found the issue. Look forward to the new version.

I am pleased to say MinimServer is working fine but without the artwork placeholder tiles.

I have some same issues going on.
No all.ignore.sort setting in my case, maybe something else is also triggering the problem?
