Getting genre name of id3v1

Hello,
I am trying to get the genre name of the id3v1 tags, but I keep getting the ID back :?: .
Would anyone know how to do this properly ?
Currently trying:
@$ThisFileInfo['tags']['id3v1']['genre'][0];

(using the basic demo)

Thanks and Regards,
Andi

If you're specifically looking for the text genre of the ID3v1 tag, it would be in

Code: Select all

@$ThisFileInfo['id3v1']['genre'];

If you run demo.browse.php you can explore the whole returned structure and figure out where best to pull the values from for your needs.

I just upgraded from 1.7.5 --> 1.7.7 and I noticed that a vast majority of my audio files now return a int value for their genre or a combination of int + human readable name. I've linked a full var output from the getid3() results the id3v1 tag looks ok, however the v2 tag includes a (17) in front of the 'Rock' genre. Currently I 'hack' the (\d) out of the front of the genre however this doesn't help with files that _only_ list the int genre value.

Am I doing something wrong?

Received.

Problem occurs in getID3() 1.7.7, not in 2.0.0b3.
Looking into a fix now.

This is actually a major bug.

bugfix:

module.tag.id3v2.php

line 2935 and line 2937

replace content_type with genre, so the lines look like:

TCO genre
TCON genre
