Solved Cue sheet and Flac
#1
Cue sheet and Flac appears to work fine on my Vodafone TV Box Kodi (Android) but the behaviour on Windows Kodi Matrix Stable is strange.  It never has worked on the Windows versions of Kodi. Only the first INDEX item is found.  Very strange.

The code is common to all platforms AKAIK, so that sounds very odd. Can you share an example cuesheet, and are they embedded in the FLAC or separeate.

I am going crazy.  If I rename the .flac file by simply adding a space to the filename (before the .flac) - all works fine.   Is it to do with long filenames in Windows ? and special characters?

So if I rename   'Vivaldi Four seasons.flac'  to 'Vivaldi Four seasons .flac'  all works fine. The cue sheet finds all the index files.

That sounds very unlikely after all adding a space makes the filename longer, please post an example cuesheet.

Here is example cue sheet. Only the first Track is detected. But if I rename the flac file in Windows to ADD a 'space' to the filename so it ends in 'Anner Bylsma .flac' , all  12 tracks are detected.

Out of frustration, I uninstalled Kodi and re-installed (19.0 Matrix) and rescanned all the albums - and all appears to be OK. What a relief.  New albums get added correctly. Maybe there was a database corruption.    Many thanks to all.

Hello,
I have similar problem. The above solution seems odd and doesn't work for me.
Yesterday my Android box updated Kodi to Matrix and requested to rescan my music library.
After that ALL my music discs that are in the single FLAC + external cue sheet format show only the first song of the album.
Everything was OK before upgrade. I tried the trick described above, rescanned the library multiple times without success.

Another issue which might or might not be related.
I removed ALBUM tag from couple of songs that I want to appear in Singles and then performed Clean and Update library, but they still appear in Albums but not in Singles.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that this has appeared on Android Kodi.  I thought maybe it was confined to Windows versions only. So  have you uninstalled Kodi Matrix , rebooted the Android box and re-installed and rescanned?

No, I thought maybe the issue could be solved without reinstall, but if there is no other solution I will do it.

After Kodi reinstall the problem is solved. Don't think it is a real solution... It means that something is broken in v18 -> v19 upgrade.

Drat, I'm having the same problem on Android TV. Will try reinstalling.

For anyone looking for the solution, probably removing and adding again music media sources should solve the issue. Seen this recommendation after doing reinstall...
