No tracks found in Album

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Goto Artists
2. Select album
3. No Tracks found

Instead of displaying the tracks inside of an Album i always just get the "No 
tracks found for this album" message.

I tried the actual version from the market and compiled it on my own. I run it 
on a Milestone (European DROID).

Poked around in the code a little bit and it seems to be a problem with the 
initial 
request for the tracks. I get a FileNotFound Exception for the requested url. 
So 
maybe something is wrong with the connection String? Actually i just understand 
bits 
of it but not all.  Why are you acessing something inside of the 
databases/DataBaseID/? When requesting an Album you don't need a specific 
Database? That is something i'm completly in the dark right now.

PS:This is the Full URL he is trying to connect to
http://192.168.1.35:3689/databases/35/items?session-
id=272309376&meta=dmap.itemname,dmap.itemid,daap.songartist,daap.songalbu
m,daap.songalbum,daap.songtime,daap.songtracknumber&type=music&sort=album
&query='daap.songalbumid:13923728203654300696'

Found the Bug the line
byte[] raw = 
RequestHelper.request(String.format("%s/databases/%d/containers/%d/items?
session-
id=%s&meta=dmap.itemname,dmap.itemid,daap.songartist,daap.songalbum,daap.so
ngalbum,daap.songtime,daap.songtracknumber&type=music&sort=album&query='d
aap.songalbumid:%s'", session.getRequestBase(),
                 session.databaseId, session.musicId, session.sessionId, albumid), false);

should read:
byte[] raw = RequestHelper.request(String.format("%s/databases/%d/items?session-
id=%s&meta=dmap.itemname,dmap.itemid,daap.songartist,daap.songalbum,daap.so
ngalbum,daap.songtime,daap.songtracknumber&type=music&sort=album&query='d
aap.songalbumid:%s'", session.getRequestBase(),
                  session.databaseId, session.sessionId, albumid), false);

Should i commit the change? CAN i commit the change? I'm not really into the 
whole 
OpenSource thingy :/

I can commit the change if you can't.  I didn't notice this problem in my 
testing?

I test and get tracks in my albums.  Very strange.

Did you try and download the latest code here from SVN with the changes I have 
made
and bugs fixed?

Original comment by mellowaredev on 26 Feb 2010 at 5:16

Yes, i downloaded the latest version. 

In the meantime i added a couple of things i wanted to have, like adding 
Albums/Artists to the queue instead of replacing them and in the AlbumsActivity 
a 
ALL Category to view all songs of an Artist.
I also changed a little bit in the connection system. because i had major 
problems 
connecting to my library. To be specific i save the connection values always 
and not 
only if they don't exist. There is no harm in that and it helps if there is 
something 
wrong stored in there.

What can't get to work is queuing a single track. I don't have a clue why it's 
not 
working. 
Another thing i try to get working is the Complilation grouping. I wonder if 
there is a 
flag you can send with the requests to get the already grouped reults from 
iTunes.

I don't think Itunes has any concept of queuing a single track.  When you 
select a
track from an album Itunes always queues the entire album and then just starts
playing the track that you selected.  This is just the way the Itunes Remote was
designed to work. Not sure why they made that design decision.

How did you add Artists/Albums in the queue instead of replacing them?  Did you
remove the call to "cue?command=clear"??   If so I would be hesitant to leave 
this in
there since it goes against the Apple protocol.   What I did in MonkeyTunes is I
handled this on the server side by having a flag that allowed MonkeyTunes to 
ignore
the calls to "cue?command-clear".

What Mr Sharkey built in TunesRemote was an EXACT replica of exactly what the 
iPhone
Apple Remote calls are doing.  

When you are all done do you want to send me your changes and I will check them 
into
SVN?  I can't add you as a committer because I don't have those privileges only 
Jeff
Sharkey can do that.

I use cue?command=add,t he rest is the same as in the play command.. that works 
perfectly for artists and albums but not for a single track. (and i don't call 
command=clear).. 

Yea, i will send you the updated code. I just have to clean up the mess i 
created a little 
bit.. ;)

ok sounds good.  Once you get it all cleaned up I will put it in.

What is funny is I use the Apple Remote to debug my code and I never once got 
it to
call cue?command=add.   I thought I tried every single feature!  How did you 
know
there was an "add" command?

OK, cleaned up the stuff i did now. Where should i send the files? Is 
i...@melloware.com your real adress?

Well the add i know from trying.. there was a clear and a play command. so i 
just 
tried add and it worked ;)

Another thing i forgot: the search method was also a little bit whacky, Also i 
added a 
jump to artist context menu to the search elements (coudn't add a jump to album 
since i don't know the album id. don't ask me why it is wrong there)

You have an iPhone or iPod Touch? Does the Remote App on there actually group 
Compilations? and if yes, is that a setting on the Library or in the remote app?

Yep my address is info @ melloware you can send there.

Compilations in the remote app are treated as normal artist album in the Remote 
app
in the iPhone.   So i think what you are saying is if you have say a Soundtrack 
with
Various Artists each song is a different Artist etc.   They show up under the 
Artist
in the iPhone and when you drill down into that Artist you will see that 
Soundtrack
listed and when you click on it just that one track appears for that Artist.  I 
think
anyway, I don't group my collection like that anyway, if it is compilation for a
Soundtrack or Various Artists I make the Artist "Soundtrack" or "Various 
Artists".

What I will do is I will get your changes and compile them and try them against 
my
MonkeyTunes app to make sure everything is still working and also compare to the
Itunes commands.  You have tested it against ITunes right so I don't need to do 
that
correct?

Original comment by mellowaredev on 28 Feb 2010 at 6:14

Well Compilations should show up as an Artist called "compilations" AND Artists 
containing only tracks from Compilations should be removed from the artist 
list. My 
guess is there should be a additional switch for the artists? command, 
something 
like compilations=true or something. But since i don't have an iPhone or 
something i 
can't sniff that one out.

Yes, i test it with the latest iTunes Version. I will pack it now.

I am positive there is no Compilations flag.  The compilation show up under each
artist.  So if a compilation album has 10 different artists that album shows up 
under
the 10 different artists.

I sent you an email...it looks like you forgot the /res folder when you sent me 
the
changes.

This has been checked into SVN.

Has the "no tracks found" issue been resolved yet? I'm running the latest 
Market version and can get my artists 
and albums listed but not the tracks. (Nexus One, 2.2).

It has not been release on Android Market but you can load the compiled APK 
into your
phone.  I have compiled the APK and put the binary on the Downloads page of this
Google Code project.
