[SOLVED] Album view not showing by artist/year after upgrade

[Mark0]

I have just installed the latest release 8.3.9 (64bit) as an in-place upgrade and the by Artist/Year Album view correctly shows the album date in brackets for each album and sorts the albums in correct date order by artist but unfortunately CamillaDSP config was reporting errors. So I tried the Raspberry Pi imager upgrade route instead.

When using the Raspberry Pi Imager to upgrade with the same settings, Album view will not show all of the album dates in brackets or sort the albums by date order for each artist correctly but rather in alphabetical order by artist. Here though CamillaDSP v2.0 works fine.

I'm using exactly the same library preference settings in each case. My source music data is a USB flash drive. If I go back to the previous release all works correctly as it should.  I've tried clearing caches and reinstalling the Library without success. Any advice you can give, at NOOB level, would be much appreciated.

Have a look at this thread.

Thank you very much indeed, you have put me on the right track. Could you kindly let me know what the correct code is to remove hyphens and where to put it in Moode. When I understand this I'll give it a go. Thanks again.

It's all there in post #7.
The file you need to edit is /var/www/inc/music-library.php
Find the function getTrackYear and replace it with the code Tim supplied.  Restart, rescan and the problem is solved.

Or wait for the release of moOde 9 where it will be fixed.  That's a few months away at least though.

Oh, I hadn't realised that Tim's code window scrolled! 

Thank you Robert, you are an absolute star. The Library view now works perfectly and I'm well chuffed!

Thanks again,
Mark.

Glad it's working, but it's Tim who fixed it so he's the true star
