Smartlist 'Audio-Task-Incomplete Albums'
« on: September 05, 2023, 09:35:50 am »

I have a number of 'incomplete albums' that are coming up in the Smartlist for 'Audio-Task-Incomplete Albums'.  I guess I'm wondering how the logic for 'Complete Album' is assessed?  Is it referencing some external database?  What might be the best way to determine what is 'missing'?

https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Multiple_Artist_Albums#Complete_Album


Media Center has some built-in support to automatically determine if an album is complete and incomplete. Two fields are automatically calculated, [Album Type] and [Complete Album], and these can be used to help determine if tracks for an album are missing, or help create views to filter single-tracks. An album is considered complete if the following conditions are met:

all tracks are of [Media Type]=Audio
all tracks have exactly the same, non-empty [Album] value
all tracks are in the same folder - i.e. have the same value for the [Filename (path)] field
all tracks have sequential [Track #] values starting at 1
all tracks have the same, or sequentially increasing [Disc #] values (empty and 1 are considered the same)

Thanks DTC, that gives me something to work with to determine why they might be getting reported.

This one always gets me (good rule though)... I don't use the Disc # field, but I now display it at the end of the rows to remember to clear it.
