m4a albumartist tags not detected

Post by sconibeer » Sun Jan 24, 2010 1:14 pm

Hi

I have tried media server versions 4.x and 5.1.2 on vista and the same NAS versions on my DNS-323.
The problem I have is when I search using the "album-artist" tag, it will only list my mp3 tracks, and not the m4a tracks.
This is most annoying as a lot of my music is in the itunes m4a format, and I dont really want to convert them all to mp3.
If a search by album or artist or title, they all display correctly, irrespective of file type.
I have found the same problem using the genre tag, but i am not personally so bothered about this.
For info, i have used Brian's (from the forum) "Finished 5_1 Trees.zip" custom nav trees, for the albumartist search in 5.1.2 versions. I should also not that this problem exists on the server webpage view as well as my Noxon Audio2 streamer.

Is this problem unique to me, or is it a twonky server problem, and is there a workaround.

Any help greatfully received.

Scott

there seems to be a few problems with m4a format. I'm wanting a solution to:
- doesn't use GENRE
- doesn't use ALBUM ARTIST

I certainly hope an upcoming release will resolve this.
