PA 899 showing Multiple tracks

[invaderzim]

First, thanks Max for the new PA update. I manually installed the apk, cleared cache as usual, then noticed tracks in an album are shown in multiple but when played, they will all be highlighted. Did a full rescan a few times, rebooted phone, still the same. I do not want to try uninstalling/installing PA, btw.

What are the settings to show the track details (5 items) on right side of the tracks as seen on your screenshot ? In my case only track duration and type (mp3) are there.

Update. Uninstalled PA (installed earlier via APK) then installed thru Play Store. Still the same. Might uninstall once again and use the 893 APK for now.

That will automatically show depending on your tracks. In my case, the tracks were 96 kHz and 24 bit. That is how the album was ripped. Otherwise, on regular tracks ripped as 16 bit, 44.1 kHz, those details will be hidden. Your MP3 files are the latter.

Oh !

Thanks for your help.

Update: Uninstalled 899 and installed 893 APK. I am now back to normal.

I can't see this duplicated tracks issue on my phone.

Is this only with one album, or are all albums doing it? Are all the tracks saved all separate files, with no CUE files present? (Max mentioned adjusting CUE behaviour, just wondering if that's possibly related). Do the duplicated tracks show in Folders view too, or just in Albums view (and presumably in Artists/etc too, when you drill down)?

I can confirm this bug on a Mi 9T Pro. It happens only on songs that have more than one artists and they appear 3 times for me

[Sabrina Thomas]

@andrewilley I can confirm this bug on my Huawei p smart too. I have enabled the multiple artists so maybe that is causing the bug? 

 

Edit: I can confirm that the bug gets fixed when I disable multiple artists.

This has happened to me as well. Every album track under album view is duplicated a number of times. The duplications don't show on All songs view.

@Sabrina Thomas  So per your screenshot, have you got both comma and ampersand set as artist separators? I've steered clear of using those symbols as there would be too many false matches - "Earth, Wind & Fire" etc. 

@invaderzim Your screenshot contains no multiple-artist songs as far as I can see, so I assume your issue is not quite the same as the other posters?

I still can't seem to duplicate this though, even with songs with multiple split artists. I've tried going in from the Artists category and drilling down, or using the Albums category directly. I wonder if there's some other PA setting common to the people experiencing this issue? (I'm using a Samsung A70, Android 10, but I really doubt something like this will be device-specific)

@andrewilley I have only used a comma as the artist separator. I am not using it right now because of the bug and everything is fine right now. 

[John Titor]

I can confirm. If I add an artist seperator in settings and do a full rescan, this bug appears and it only affects the track(s) that have the artist selector.

 

 

Removing that artist separator from settings, and doing a full rescan, makes Poweramp return to normal behaviour, I should add.

I wonder what's different about my setup then? This is what I see for any album with multiple-artist songs:

[Sabrina Thomas]

@andrewilley Songs appear multiple times in the recently added and all songs only. Everything is fine in the albums for some reason.

I can now duplicate that. I see duplicated entries for any multiple-artist songs in All Songs, Recently Added, Recently Played, Most Played and Album Artists.

However the songs show correctly in Folders, Artists, and Albums.

The problem was originally reported (e.g. by @maestro30k ) as being in Albums view, and specifically not in All Songs view, hence my confusion at the slight red herring. Or maybe there are two variants of this problem - I suspect there may be a separate issue (maybe relating to CUE files?) as @invaderzim seems to be reporting a slightly different issue.

Hi Andre, I was checking earlier those multiple (duplicate) tracks in Album Artist category as my usual go-to. My albums have CUE files but Parse CUE Files is disabled from the start. I reverted to 893 for now.

You are right Andre, this might be a different bug. While on Album Artist category, the screenshot I sent, by the way had no CUE file as I just checked now. I had not tinkered with the new feature re the separators. I just instantly saw those duplicated tracks after the update.

I have the same problem I separate my artists with a ","

I didn't originally look in the Album Artist category, I was testing in Albums as that's what you had first mentioned (and Albums does not seem to be affected).

But yes, having checked further, the Album Artist category seems to show this effect particularly badly, with as many as 13 duplicate entries for songs that have multiple artists listed:

So probably this is one issue, which has nothing to do with CUE files.

I tried playing 1 track from those highlighted ones and PA will treat them as individual songs. PA will play them one by one as if you're on repeat haha.

I know, I tried playing the War of the Worlds album (13 tracks) and on the player screen it showed as having 169 tracks to go...

Same here, multiple tracks showing up on All Songs. Symbols used to split are ; // feat. ft. w/

The number of times it is duplicated seems to be number of artists of the track plus one. I think it shows the track each time for every artist (including one for multi-artist).

Piggybacking on this, the artist's images is also kind of broken. Artists who are part of multi-artists track seem to have the same image. Looking into the com.maxmpzaudioplayer/files/artist_art/ folder, I saw that the "same image" file was named <Artist1>_ <Artist2>.jpg. I tried setting the image manually for both the artists, but it does not do so. A file <Artist1>.jpg and <Artist2>.jpg do get saved in com.maxmpz.audioplayer/files/selected_artist/. I have checked to make sure Storage permissions are allowed. Artist images for single-artist track works fine.

Can confirm it works fine in Folders, Artists and Albums. Other views has the duplication bug. For me it happens even when there is only one artist, and I see no real clue as to why some tracks are duplicated more times than others. All tracks in the same album shows the same amount of times though. It happens on both my Xperia 5 II and my old Xperia XZ1. Downgrading to build 893 solved the issue for me.
