Bug: Album/Artist lists fail to load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to Ampache, see counts of Albums/Artists
2. Select either Albums or Artists (I have no playlists)
3. Spinning circle indefinitely.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the list of Albums/Artists. I have tested this with a
single album and it DOES work, but not with my entire library.

What version of Ampache Mobile are you using?
v0.0.3

What version of Ampache Server are you using? ex: 3.5.1
v3.5.1 (Dev). I was using 3.5, which had the same issue and noticed you
recommend 3.5.1.

Please provide any additional information below.
How else can I debug this?

Thanks,
-adam

To clarify, when I tested with a single album, I removed the rest of my library 
from
ampache and just added a specific album folder.

Just updated to 0.0.4 and I am waiting to see if it fixes the problem, but it 
doesn't
appear to.

My library is 217 Artists and 220 Albums. Is there an estimate on how long it 
should
take to load these lists?

Shouldn't take to long (30secs max on wifi).  Most the changes in 0.0.4 where
cosmetic. I wouldnt expect it to fix your issue.

Out of curiosity do you have any files with unicode characters in them? 
(Chinese or
something similar)

For debug, send me a PM (Private Message) on PreCentral (user:bjgeiser) with a
temporary account and I'll take a look and see what your issue is.

Unicode characters in Ampache.  This is a known issue.

After removing the unicode files, I was still having issues. I finally started 
adding
albums one at a time to ampache to figure out where it was getting hung up. 
Ampache
errors when trying to import an m4a album, and does not import the tracks. It 
does
create an empty album entry. Should I file this as a bug with ampache?

Ya.  Definately sounds like an ampache bug.  Could be an issue with your tags.  
Might
be something I can work around in ampache mobile.  I need to make the code that
handles the server responses more robust.
