Tracks don't sort by disc number

[Dennis O'Flaherty]

I have an album with two discs and the songs play in the following order:

  Disc2, Track1
  Disc1, Track1
  Disc2, Track2
  Disc1, Track2
  (and so on...)

I would expect that they be played:

  Disc1, Track1
  Disc1, Track2
  ...
  Disc1, TrackN
  Disc2, Track1
  Disc2, Track2
  ...
  Disc2, TrackM

Some investigation into this shows that disc number is not being tracked in the music app, there are no QtGrilo bindings for it or even a field for it in the grilo library.

In the new media scanner code base, we're currently only storing the track number in the index. It shouldn't be a big deal to also store the disc number and use it for the relevant sorted queries.

This bug was fixed in the package mediascanner2 - 0.100+14.10.20140508-0ubuntu1

  [ James Henstridge ]
  * Add genre and discNumber metadata fields to the media index, and
    expose it in the QML binding. Add rowCount property and get(row,
    role) method to each of the model classes in the QML binding. (LP:
    #1246172)

  [ Jussi Pakkanen ]
  * Don't scan optical discs.
  * Use generator for file traversal instead of a vector.

I understand this has been fixed in the Music app by it being fixed on mediascanner. Please feel free to undo the bug status change if incorrect.
