Description

After some time of using Vanilla whenever I added a new artist it would create a second list of alphabetically sorted artists and add it to that. So now I have the normal list of 'old artists' and after the last entry with Z a new list begins from A where every new artist is added.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Not really sure. It just started doing this one day and never stopped since.

What sort option are you using? are you sure its set to alphabetical sorting?

Popkornium18 commented 3 years ago

Yes it's set to sort by title.

adrian-bl commented 3 years ago

Either there are some UTF8/control characters prefixing the artist name or there was a firmware upgrade on your phone which changed how sorting is handled.

Can you try to go to Settings -> Media Library and then start a new search while 'Flush media library' is ticked?

There are no prefixes, since I manually tag the music and my other music players (Kodi, mpd) sort them correctly. Do you mean OS updates by firmware? If so, I use the microG fork of LineageOS and keep it up to date.

Other Android music players (like LineageOS's Eleven) sort the artists correctly.

Can you try to go to Settings -> Media Library and then start a new search while 'Flush media library' is ticked?

I did that but the result is the same.

Ok, can you upload a dump to the media-db to somewhere?

You can create a dumb via Settings -> Media Library -> 3-dot-menu

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. It says: But when I look for that file it's not there.

$ file /storage/emulated/0/dbdump-ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla.sqlite
/storage/emulated/0/dbdump-ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla.sqlite: cannot open: No such file or directory

I checked this both with an adb shell and the file manager on Android. There is no such file.

Bricked my phone, can't reproduce it on the new phone, so I'll close this for now.
