I'm aware that i need to address music sorting again.
Right now i do the following:
- query XBMC for all artists
- query XBMC for all albums
I then go through the albums and sort them to the artists for the artist based view, and keep the complete album list for the album based view.
Seems that "various artists" isn't always returned as an artist by XBMC, therefore these albums don't show in artists based views.
Adding these "by hand" from within the app shouldn't be much trouble, but i'll have to think of a way to get the sort order right (i let XBMC do the sorting for me)
When filtering by genre, i only filter on the level thats selected, that is artist or album. This is in fact by design, though i might rethink it.
Thanks for your fast response. As I said it's already a great app. But having a really large music library makes having multiple views very handy. Just like the scroll feature I suggested btw. :-)
Also I have all my various artists albums tagged with various artists in the Artist tag. It works well then, but off course hasses the downside of losing some info. Although I combined that in the title of each song.
