genres containing "Jazz" not showing up?!?

Post by eggkorki »

I'm getting a strange problem on my Xbox 360. I don't currently have any other DLNA clients I can try for comparison, so I'm not sure if this on the client side or server side, but after playing around some, I'm thinking it's at least partially server-based (if not completely).

So, here's the problem: I seem to only be able to see certain genres on my Xbox ... anything with "Jazz" in the genre does NOT show up, no matter what I try. BUT, I can take an album and change it from "Jazz" to "Blues" or "Test" (or whatever), and suddenly it will show up?!! Note that I have made sure that all my collections are checked in the MM "Media Sharing" options; however, it actually doesn't seem to matter. As a matter of fact, my Blues and Jazz genres are in the same collection, and Blues will show up on the Xbox, while Jazz doesn't, regardless of whether or not I have the Blues/Jazz collection checked in MM.

As a matter of fact, I've narrowed it down to pretty much just the word "Jazz" (?!??) -- I can take a "Jazz" album and change it to "Test", and it immediately shows up. If I make it "Test - Jazz", or "Test; Jazz" (dual-genre), however, it will NOT show up. Dual genres DO otherwise work, though ... e.g. an album with "Rock; Ska" will show up both under Ska and Rock. But an album with "Jazz; Ska" or "Ska; Jazz" will not show up under either. This is so weird. I'm stumped ... anybody?

You can change the port used to 4000 at which point the MediaMonkey Server shows up in the Media Servers node in the Media Tree. This will allow you to check if you see the same problem or not.
