Announce: Material Skin

[Paul Webster]

Good that it is resolved - but I will try to remember to not use minus sign in such images because I presume that there are still a large installed base of LMS that it running on stuff older than 8.1.2

Also - has same issue been found and resolved in mysb?

I have an issue where I cannot view the album review for "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" when I click on the "i" button in Material Skin. I can view the review via The Music & Artist Information plugin in "More Info/Album Information/Album Review". I have a suspicion it might be because I have tagged "Artist" as "Derek And The Dominos" and "Album Artist" as "Eric Clapton"

For local tracks Material passes MAI the album_id only for album reviews - and this is what is happening here. MAI should then use this album_id to look up the correct tags to use, etc. So, if there is an issue it appears to be with MAI.

That was my original thought but MAI itself seems to have no problem with finding the review.

And? As stated, all I'm doing is passing down the album_id - this is a different call to what the menu system uses. If reviews works for some albums but not others, and all are local, then the issue would appear to be in MAI. (I say appear, as I'm more than willing to accept Material being at fault - I just cannot see how.)

In earlier versions of Material I also passed the album name and albumartist strings - but this broke some calls, as I think MAI uses these strings in preference to the IDs. However, if MAI works for one album review using IDs, then it should work for all - again, assuming local tracks.

What's the exact request MAI is sending?

More info. If I access the album review from "More info" for one of the tracks on the album I see the review. If I access the album review from "More info" for the album instead I don't see the review. So I agree it sounds like an issue with MAI.

This is the console info when I access album review from the album context menu.

Thanks! I'm a bit confused as this is not a MAI query:

["bb:bb:xx:xx:xx:xx",["albuminfo","items",0,25000,"menu:albuminfo","item _id:13.0","album_id:81677"]]

That's the generic "albuminfo" query, which is built in to LMS. And it's
requesting an item using its ID. This is a reference to a menu the
application has been drilling down. Given these parameters, the album_id
would become irrelevant.

Craig - did you say you were calling MAI directly to get the reviews?

If it helps
"more info/album information/album review" doesn't work from the default skin either if I start from the album list under an artist. It does work from the album track list. Like I said earlier this seems to be because I tagged
Album artist = Eric Clapton
Artist = Derek And The Dominos

When pressing Material's "(i)" button to show biography, album review, and lyrics in 23 tabs I call MAI directly. But, if you use context menu for a track, or an album, and select the "More" entry then it will invoke "trackinfo", or "albuminfo" - and its the LMS menus from these that also have an "Album review" entry. Accessing via "More" (accoding to slartibartfast) works, but directly calling MAI fails.

Accessing via "More" only works from a track though, not from an album.

Ok, slartibartfast - could you please send me the requests for the "MAI
direct" mode?

Is that what I provided in this post?

Or should I set MAI logging to debugand provide a server log?

Does this help? Server log when accessing
More Info/Album Information/Album Review
from the album context menu.
