Is there something I can do to make all of the albums be recognized?

Albums in "By Album" and "By Artist" are recognized by the ID tags on the file. In "By Folder", a folder containing audio files is considered an album.

Last two SVN releases , nothing in the screens is expanding. In Album view, the display is stuck at "Retrieving..." . In folder browser, the display is again stuck at ""Retrieving..." . What did I break ??

Understood, the strange thing is that UKMP recognizes them and downloads all the cover art, but MediaBox does not. Out of over 150 songs only 2 albums are recognized. Everything else I have to browse via folders. I inspected the ID3 tags with iTunes and Musorg 3.0 Id3 tag editor and the tag info appears in tact. Maybe my MediaBox info is corrupt?

Thanks for the great update. I just have one issue.

I am using Orb as my UPnP server and MediaBox sees the shares just fine, but when I go to the Music folder there are 0 items displayed. The UPnP shares are working fine in Canola. Is something else needed to enable UPnP?

Most likely MediaBox doesn't recognize the files that ORB is listing as music.
Can you please run

Code:

MediaBox -vvv >/media/mmc1/debug.log

in X-Terminal and try to browse the ORB server and attach the resulting debug.log file here? This will help me getting MediaBox work together with ORB.

It appears that ORB interprets a request with RequestedCount of 0 as to return 0 entries. The UPnP spec for ContentDirectory states that RequestedCount of 0 should be interpreted as to return all entries.
I guess I have to use a very high number for RequestCount instead of using 0 in MediaBox from now on.

Isn't it great when all implementations of a common specification interpret the same specification differently?

About the problem I had reported - a rm -rf and then re-download from SVN fixed the problem - thanks

MediaBox is displaying icons for albums I've removed (among my other album display issues). I must have some sort of db issue. Is there a way to clean up Mediabox and get it to rebuild the music list?
