Library -> Artist -> Add to playlist is totally random

This is weird one. When I select an artist in the Library and add him to the playlist nothing happens. When I go down and try to add an album of said artist something gets add to the playlist. However files from all over my library are added. They work in the playlist but they have nothing to do with the artist.

My files are 100% correct. I have used several music players with this files. The are sorted and correctly tagged. So, I have no clue what is happening.
Rebuilding the library does nothing.

When I use the network and add the folder of the artist instead of library->artist everything works fine

I use 0.4 Beta (#4434 I can post a debug log if that is of any use here.

Hi,

I did some tests on my dev system and all works like it should.
I use MP3 and FLAC all tagged with Mp3tag.

When I use the network and add the folder of the artist instead of library->artist everything works fine

What do you mean with "use the network"?

I have FLAC and MP3 two.
Here is my setup in detail:

I use a small PC with FreeNAS where my music files are stored. A RaspberryPi 2 runs RuneAudio. They are connected via WLAN SMB/CIFS.

What I meant was, I go to
Library -> Network mount -> go into my Freenas folder and select add to any folder and it works.
When I use
Library -> Artist -> Add nothing gets added
When I use
Library -> Artist -> Album -> Add something gets added but its not right.
for example if I go to
Library -> Queen -> Greatest Hits-> Add
The queue contains Queen greatest hits, but also Tom petty greatest hits and Red Hot Chilli Peppers greatest hits.

Hi,

the "Greatest Hits" issue is a known one, see here.
The problem is the way how the album tag is treated by mpd.
We have to find a way to solve this in the future.

Library -> Artist -> Add nothing gets added

This works for me without issues.

Well it sure doesn't work here. Is there a way to see the mpd commands that get send? Maybe i can debug it.

After redoing the image I can now add artist to the playlist. Odd, but I take it
