2.9.4 Release

Bug-fix release, main changes:

1. Reduce frequency of status polling during playback.
2. Don't send a status message for a player if one is already being processed by LMS.
3. Refresh queue if show track numbers setting changed.
4. Store 'theme' setting in local storage after reading defaults from server.

Artist menu, Album menu, and now-playing context menu:

{
  "artist":[
    {
      "title":"Bliss mix",
      "lmsbrowse":{
        "command":["blissmixer", "mix"],
        "params":["artist_id:$ARTISTID", "menu:1"]
      },
      "icon":"playlist_play"
    }
  ],
  "album":[
    {
      "title":"Bliss mix",
      "lmsbrowse":{
        "command":["blissmixer", "mix"],
        "params":["album_id:$ALBUMID", "menu:1"]
      },
      "icon":"playlist_play"
    }
  ],
  "track":[
    {
      "title":"Bliss mix",
      "lmsbrowse":{
        "command":["blissmixer", "mix"],
        "params":["track_id:$ITEMID", "menu:1"]
      },
      "icon":"playlist_play"
    }
  ]
}

But "track" / now-playing context menu does not currently work - fixed in git for next release.

Craig, I use the above code to add a "Create Bliss Mix" option by long pressing on the now playing artwork. When I do this, a bliss mix is created and displayed but when I press Play only the first track in the mix plays, not the whole mix. I don't think previously long pressing on the artist artwork would create a mix at all - as you said above. Now it creates a mix but doesn't play it fully.

If I create a Bliss Mix from other context menus (eg from the artist rather than long pressing on the artwork) a mix is created and pressing play displays "adding tracks" and the whole mix plays.

Fixed in git/master for 2.9.5

Clipped Random Mix Pane

Just started using Random Mix via Material, and after starting a Random Mix, returning to the Random Mix pane shows a clipped “Start” button. The spacing between the Close/Stop/Start needs a slight adjustment to keep them all in view and selectable.

Using Material on iOS 12.x via Safari “Add to Home Screen”.

Its not the spacing, but the min-width that vuetify (the toolkit I'm using) asssigns to buttons. I'll reduce this for the next release.

Suggested feature

Love the plugin. Would it be possible to be able to view a .pdf from the music folder similar to the way you can in LMS? More and more Hi-Res music is coming with liner notes in .pdf format.

Thanks for your consideration.

That's a feature of the Music and Artist Information plugin, and it
works on Material as expected. Bring up the "More..." menu on a album,
then Text Files.

[Howard Passman]

Ah, thank you very much.

Ah, sorry Michael. I checked and it wasn't there. What file types will show up as liner notes in Material Skin. I download stuff from QOBUZ and occasionally they include a .pdf document with the liner notes, etc.. I can see them in LMS, but they don't show up in Material Skin.

Thanks,

Howard

..txt, .html, .pdf, .md, .nfo

Please enable logging for plugin.musicartistinfo, go to such an album's
"More" menu in Material, then send me the resulting server.log.zip.

They show up for me in Material Skin although my phone displays the pdf as a blank page. My laptop displays the pdf correctly.

Shows up for me too along with the blank .pdf on my phone. If I browse to the .pdf in the Files app on my phone it displays fine on my phone.

If I use Material in a mobile browser, when I click on a pdf file, I get a prompt to download the file. In that case, I can view the downloaded pdf.

If I use the Material apk, when I click on a pdf file, I just get the blank page. There is no prompt, and the file is not downloaded, unless it downloads someplace other than the Download folder.

In a desktop browser, the pdf file is displayed in the Material interface.

Qobuz usually puts pdf files in a category labeled "Qobuz Goodies." Material sometimes displays a link to Qobuz Goodies on the MAI page when there are no Goodies available.

[Howard Passman]

Oh Lord, I tired it on an ancient tablet and it worked fine. Went back to my phone and it was there, but not under 'More Info'. I have no idea why.

Hey Rob. I've never seen the"Goodies". The .pdf shows up the same place as the music files and album cover. I'll look for 'goodies'.
