(null) shows up i artists list?

Posted by: Somchie on 16 November 2011

So, I fiddled around with my new NAS yesterday and tried the in-built iTunes Server.

The problem is that in the artist list it shows several artists names as "(null)", but everything looks fine in iTunes and the Apple Remote app. When looking at the tags in iTunes for the artists that shows up as (null) I can not find anything wrong.

Any suggestions?

This sometimes happens when I drop a new album into the files/music/flac folder on my Vortexbox from a Mac across the network. Bliss works in the background to check cover art and rearrange the file structure of the music files as per my instructions. Sometimes if I add say a new album to my main Death Cab for Cutie folder say - it appears the UPnP servers database doesn't quite catch up in time and instead of the artist folder appearing on nStream I get (null) - a quick rescan sorts things out very quickly.
