GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331393
id3 genre number is not translated to name
Last modified: 2006-04-18 08:14:51 UTC
Hi, Some people have complained that their id3 tags are not handled correctly anymore in 0.10 when a genre id is used. Joe Wreschnig explained: << This looks like GStreamer is not properly interpreting ID3 tags. ID3v2 genre (TCON) tags can be a freeform text string, but they can also be prefixed with an ID3v1 genre number in parentheses, or in ID3v2.4, just be a number of a genre. "(8)" and "(8)Jazz" should be just "Jazz"; "(13)" should be "Pop", etc. >> This is Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/352213. Cheers,
This was fixed in the 0.10.2 release: Rewrite parsing of text tags to handle multiple NULL terminated strings. Parse numeric genre strings and ID3v2 type "(3)(6)Alternative" style genre strings. Parse dates that are only YYYY or YYYY-mm format. (Fixes #328241 and #322154) Are you sure the people are running 0.10.2?
That's 0.10.2 of gst-plugins-good, in case it wasn't clear
In fact they were running 0.10.1, and 0.10.2 fixed it, thanks.
