Hi
This app is great, but I have a problem when browsing by the composer tag - the album list is empty and the screen says “nothing to display…”. Browsing by genre and by album artist displays an album list as expected.
I should add that all filters are turned off.

Additional information:
For info, I use the composer tag idiosyncratically to mimic physical shelves, so the details of the tags are:
“1. To play shelf”
“2. New album shelf”
etc. This shouldn’t affect functionality though (it doesn’t on any other programme I have that uses the composer tag)
Reproduction steps:
Enter library → press genres → album list is populated
Enter library → press composers → album list is empty
I have composers in the main navigation menu at the bottom. If I press that directly, or if I press ‘library’ and then select composers from the library screen, it’s the same outcome.
I’ve just uploaded a couple more screenshots.
OK, we are getting somewhere! It is related to the “skip artist details page” option.
With that option set to Disabled:
selecting an albumartist in the library takes me to a page that lists albums and songs by that albumartist. I need to press albums to take me into a list of albums.
The same is true if I select composers.
With the option set to “skip to albums”:
selecting an albumartist takes me directly to a list of albums by that albumartist.
if I select composer, the list of albums is blank.
Is it possible to get the composer tag to behave the same as albumartist? I want to go directly to an album list for a specific composer.
Yes I can fix but why skip the artist page? If you hide the songs you have directly the albums and can group them by release type something you can’t do in the album list.
As far as I can see (correct me if I’m wrong), it is not possible to have a simple list of albums in the artist page, only grid. I much prefer lists.
Thanks
I don’t actually need it if the composer fix is implemented. I have other feature requests
thanks for your help. Now I know the root of the problem, I at least have a workaround until the fix is implemented.
As I said at the start, I think this is a really great app.
Hello
Thanks for making the change so that the album list is now populated under the composer tag. I have found a different but I think related issue:
A) Select artist → select album from list of albums → on the album page (below cover, title and clickable artist button), the next line shows album duration and album year.
B) Do the same for composer and only album year is shown.
Are you able to add album year to the album page when coming from composer → album list?
I think you mean “add total time”, because the album year is already there
IIRC I requested that as well when composers were introduced, but I think it is not possible due to how the database is built. This information is simply not there and too expensive to retrieve (in terms of computing power → battery and app responsiveness).
Thanks for the replies. The workaround of removing the filter is useful - does that mean it would be possible to show the album duration by default or is Splinter correct that it takes too much processing power?
As an alternative, would it possible for duration to be included in the second line of the album list page (so it becomes artist - year - duration), or does that have the same problem?
