Full Version: MP3 Tag Order
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The MP3s in my music library include both ID3v1 for compatibility purposes and APEv2. Xbmc seems to be prioritising ID3v1 over the APEv2 tags and as a result most of my tracks titles are incomplete. Can I configure priority or is a patch required?

Platform: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, 2.6.35-power3-generic i686).
Built on Aug 23 2010 (SVN:33040)
Wouldn't this help?
Code:
<prioritiseapetags>true</prioritiseapetags>

Heh, guess I missed that.
Considering the date I posted this, thanks for replying!

I just wonder why the default is false. ID3v1 should be the last thing it uses IMO.
It is the last thing that is used in all cases.

For mp3 it's either ID3v2, ID3v1 or APE, ID3v2, ID3v1.

Hmm, I witness strange situations lately (I think it came with Dharma), whcih make me suspect it has changed, please check http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89206. I would be interested in your feedback.

Sorry what I ment was, why isn't APE priority by default as that would have stopped it from reading the ID3v1 tag.
