Rhythmbox 0.13.1 not handling ID3 tags properly from mt-daapd server

RocketSurgeon · 2010-10-15 00:17:36

I have an mt-daapd server (Firefly) serving a music library to various clients on my home network. My wife's Ubuntu desktop with Rhythmbox 0.13.1 reads the ID3 tags of files served with no problems (screenshot below):

My Roku SoundBridge device can also access the files and read the ID3 tags without issue, as can iTunes on a Windows XP machine.

However, since the the 2010-10-04 update of Rhythmbox on Arch x86_64, ID3 tags on files served by the mt-daapd server appear to be only partially readable (just the title and the genre), which results in all tracks being categorized as "Unknown" artist, album, etc. in Rhythmbox (screenshot below):

Until the Oct 4 update, things worked well. Any ideas as to what may have changed? It does NOT appear to be an ID3 support issue on the host computer running mt-daapd, as other client devices on my network can read the tags just fine, and things only went awry after the latest update.

Any help is much appreciated. Cheers.

A quick bit of additional info: Banshee on the same Arch Linux x86_64 machine can read the ID3 tags just fine. But I'd prefer to use Rhythmbox ...

Thanks again for any ideas.

you can try to rebuild rhythmbox against the old musicbrainz. i switched in this version to musicbrainz3 and maybe this is the problem.

use abs and adjust the dependency from libmusicbrainz3 to musicbrainz and remove libmusicbrainz3 from your system before doing makepkg

Hmmm ... PKGBUILD listed the dependency as musicbrainz-2.1.5 without any editing needed:

pkgname=rhythmbox
pkgver=0.13.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An iTunes-like music player/libary"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license=('GPL')
url="http://www.rhythmbox.org"
depends=('libgpod>=0.7.93' 'libsoup-gnome>=2.31.92' 'gnome-media>=2.31.6' 'totem-plparser>=2.31.92' 'musicbrainz>=2.1.5' 'libmtp>=1.0.2' 'libnotify>=0.4.5' 'lirc-util$ ...

I removed libmusicbrainz3 (and sound-juicer, as it depends on it) anyway. Then I rebuilt Rhythmbox with abs and reinstalled (largely because I hadn't done this sort of thing in a while), but no change.

Thanks in advance for any other suggestions.

ah, that's funny . i was thinking you are using the version from testing and in there i switched to libmusicbrainz3.

i would look into it more.

please try libdmapsharing-2.0.4 and let me know.

Excellent. Thanks for the prompt help! I was actually in the process of comparing the lsof -p output between my machine and my wife's Ubuntu box, but you saved me the trouble (FWIW, the current Ubuntu Rhythmbox .deb uses libdmapsharing.so.2.0.0.)

libdmapsharing.so.2.0.4 did the trick on my Arch machine. Thanks again!

crap, i actually pushed a development version for libdmapsharing
