Tracknames gone, replaced by album title in all CAPITALS
AnsweredThis is a somewhat known "feature" I can see, but still extremely inconvenient. I have more than 15.000 tracks on my NAS and rebuilding index takes maybe like 1-2 hours.
Problem only seems to occur when a cover-art is not accepted from iTunes (on the NAS). When I then replace artwork, this will get shown... BUT at the price of all track titles for this album will be replaces with CAPITALIZED album title.
I have a new iMac 27", running macOS 10.13.3 and a Node2.
based on the 'fact' that nothing happens by itself, I conclude there is some kind of bug in the bluOS.
Look forward to a permanent fix. If you need further info from me I'll be happy to forward
otherwise the system is excellent
Kind regards

Hi Palle
This is not an intended new feature - I will assure you of that...
We will be in touch for more details

Glad to hear this. I have investigated a bit more.
There are 15.129 tracks on my iTunes. In this specific case I deleted last ripped album from iTunes (delete files on disk) and then I copy that (iTunes lib) to my Synology NAS using Syncronize! pro X which will delete files and folders not anymore on the source, so the NAS copy should be current. The Node2 is set to stream from the NAS.A rebuild of player takes 107 minutes... this a killer
A reindex of player takes 80 seconds, this is absolutely OK
what I found after all this was that there would still be shown the album title on player... so something must have stuck in there after all.
then I ripped album again and ran the whole procedure, getting the capitalised titles :-(
It is possible to get titles back by editing every title in the erroneous album by inserting a character in title (best choice is a blank somewhere inside title, putting it at end does not work)
running rebuild again will now show titles correct... but if you adjust cover art later, you will kill the titles again
So I am looking forward to a good fix
happy Easter

Ok I tried it out today, changed the artwork (flipped one cover-art), put it on NAS, re-indexed and, bingo song titles stayed.
one funny thing, cover stayed un-flipped on my iPhone :-) until I killed the app and started it again, then cover was as on my desktop Mac
great support
