More than 8 bits (1-256max) in %n field

[MikeyMike]

i am trying to put a top 3000 of all times on my xbox (25gb)
on my pc all the tracknr's are ok, on the xbmc the numbers go from 1-256 and start at 1 again.

is there something to do about it so i can have an folder with 3000 song which are correctly numbered?

don't see any reason from the code why this would happen, other than id3 v1 tags (and others) possibly not supporting more than a certain number of tracks.

what type of files, and how are they tagged?

further more, if you just have 1 of the files on their (say file number 458 for instance) does it show up correctly, or how does it show up if it doesn't?

cheers,

hi jonathan,

i tried to put one file with tracknr. 376 in a seperate folder as you suggested, it shows up as nr 120.
the id3 tag seems to shown as 376-256=120?
if i transfered the file again from the xbox by ftp to my pc, and then the id3 tag is still ok as tracknr. 376.

the files are taged with music library (v1 and v2) and transfered by fatx renamer.
is there anyway that the track field is only 8 bits or something like that?

by the way the complete file list does not refresh if you go from a folder/album back to all albums/files, or from for instance f: to f:\music you first need to resort before all files are shwon in the last version of xbmc (15-05-2005)is that a known issue.

yes, the file listings are cached to keep the speed up.

what may be happening is it's reading the track number from only the v1 tag (which very likely is limited to 8bits).

if you can supply a file snippet (5secs or so) with tags intact that exhibits this behaviour that would be a great help to us.

cheers,

hi jonathan,

about the file lists i ment the don't show at all untill i resort once, if i then go one level deeper and back again they don't show again and i need to resort.
it is only in file view when i enter the folder with all the album folders.

about the snippet i will send it when i am back from work.
thanks!
