Genre no more?

I have just tried to search through genre, for the first time in a while and I see that the message “No selectins are available” comes up.  Why is this happening now when it didn’t before?  It’s the same  when I use the Android app as well as my PC.

Thanks for the screenshot, that helps a lot.

 

The song that’s currently playing - is that also from your Music Library? It seems to be missing some of its metadata (there’s no artist listed on the now playing screen), and since genre is also a metadata tag, it could be that your files are somehow missing that information too. 

Could you please try to re-index your library and see if that makes any difference?

Hey @Maelstrom, thanks for reaching out.

 

Which music service/source are you experiencing this issue with? Is it just the one service or multiple?

It’s both the PC Sonos 1 controller, and  my phone as per clip below.  Source music held on my PC and my phone.  It worked before!

    Hey, that worked!  Thanks a lot (I should have tried it already, but I do it anyway when I add music.)
