"Sort artist" and "Sort album artist" metadata #15

Open peaslaker opened 14 years ago

Build: forked-daapd-0.12 compiled natively on ARM with supplied libavl and libantlr3c-3.2 Test server: Seagate Goflex Net (Pogoplug clone running Plugbox Linux) Test client: iTunes 10, Mac OS X 10.6.4 Server

Initial connection to the library via iTunes (tested on 10, not tested on 9.x), the reported metadata doesn't include Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist fields which means that various sort options in the iTunes interface are not supported.

If you select a track to play, iTunes reads its metadata and correctly discovers the sort meta-data fields, dynamically relocating the played track in the displayed track list; the track listing jumps around as you select items to play.
