Support for sorting by disc and track number tags

[durin42]

I have a number of albums which are multi-disc sets, and right now Music Assistant only sorts by track number, so I end up with this type of play order:

Disc 2 Track 1
Disc 1 Track 1
Disc 1 Track 2
Disc 2 Track 2
...

Where the relative order of discs 1 and 2 is typically random for each track. It'd be awesome to have support for the disc number field as well as the track number.

We sort by disc and track number so if that isnt working that is a bug

I know the metadata exists because I can see it in navidrome as being multi-disc. Various subsonic players on my phone also sort with the disc number, so navidrome seems to be exporting it via the API - could it be a bug in the subsonic component in Music Assistant? How would I debug that? (I don't see track numbers or disc numbers in the Music Assistant UI, though I could be missing something obvious.)

What version of Music Assistant are you using? Release 2.3.3 had a fix for disc numbering but it could be that Navidrome is doing it differently. Are you able to use https://github.com/khers/py-opensonic to interact with your Navidrome server directly?

Upgrading to 2.3.4 (I was on 2.3.0) didn't fix it - as an experiment I disabled the Subsonic source and re-enabled it but that didn't help. Then as a final guess before diving in with a jupyter notebook and py-opensonic I:

• disabled the subsonic source
• stopped music-assistant
• deleted the library.db (after backing up)
• started music-assistant
• enabled the subsonic source

Now I see the disc-number fields, so it looks like something was borked in the database. It's fixed! Sorry for the extra work on your end, if any.

Is there some more graceful thing I could have done to force an update of the library entries? Nuking the sqlite db seems like a large hammer.

Thanks!

Yes. MA SETTINGS >> CORE >> MUSIC CONTROLLER >> ADVANCED >> RESET DATABASE

Awesome, thanks!
