No album results in browse or search

[jimydirektsaft]

I'm unsure if this is a beets or a mopidy-beets issue so I start here to report this.
I tested with mopidy-mobile, iris and
python = 3.7.3 for mopidy
python = 3.8.2 for beets
mopidy = 3.0.2
beets = 1.4.9
Mopidy-Beets installed with pip

For testing I have one album in the beets library which I can successfully search for in beets cli and in beets web.

The issue:
If I browse the beets library with mopidy-mobile or iris by "Albums by Artist" I get the album artist but no album. I get no errors or warnings in mopidy.
beets logs:

If I browse "Albums by Genre" in mopidy-mobile I get the genre but no album.

Having the same issue. I tried running Nginx in front of beets as recommended and still no dice.

[guikubivan]

I had faced a similar issue before and just encountered it again when upgrading beets to 1.4.9. I had to go back to a previous version. I used docker image linuxserver/beets:d43d54e2-ls47, which maps to this commit on beets project which I think it's related:
beetbox/beets@d43d54e2

Latest beets version seems to have that change, but not sure why it doesn't work now. Going back to that commit works for the most part.

[uroborov]

similar problem here, no way to solve with the new version?

[sumpfralle]

I think, the problem of the original bug report was fixed in the mentioned beets commit (beetbox/beets@d43d54e2).

Another related problem (resulting in empty query results) is about to be merged soon (see beetbox/beets#4182), I guess.

Maybe someone wants to try whether the simple change in beets/beetsplug/web/__init__.py (change the comma to a slash in line 264) fixes the problem?

[tobast]

I encountered the same issue, and fixed it with beetbox/beets#6158 and #48
