That would indeed fix the issue. But single line items don't look that
nicely middled any more.

function replaceNewLines(str) {
    return str ? str.replace(/\n/g, "<br/>") : str;
}

...does that help? Not 100% sure where the "\\n" came from, but I'm thinking it was proably an artist bio, review, or lyrics that had this.

                                        title: text.startsWith("<") ? text : ("<p>"+text+"</p>"),
                                        type: "html",

...this should cause all textarea's to be treated as HTML.

Inside Qobuz Plugin html becomes stripped for output in 'textarea' items.

Did you restart LMS after changing the code? Flush the caches? This
definitely worked for me.

Sure, yes

Flush the caches?

Possibly not, I refreshed only the browser page.

I checked it again and cleared the browser cache of Material site.
Now it worked for me also, sorry for that mistake.

Year and Artist name won't turn off in Album browsing

Hello:

I am running Material Skin under PiCorePlayer on a Pi2Design Mercury. All s/w is up to date.

Problem I have is that despite display of Year and Artist being disabled (under "Interface" on Chassic settings screen--settings not listed in Material Skin) the Year and Artist still show in all Album views under Material Skin.





Is there any way to adjust this? I find the display of year particularly distracting.
And I imagine that the cause of this is also what causes Year to be displayed next to every track in the Queue.

Please advise. Thanks.

P.S. I do love Material Skin and just want to get these last wrinkles ironed out.

Hmmm... What about:

title: text.startsWith("<") ? text : ("<div>"+text+"</div>"),

i.e. use 'div' not 'p' ???

There's a reason Material does not show those settings, as it does not support them. Sorry, but year and artist is not configurable.

Well that's disappointing!
I does not seem that it would be too hard to offer a setting for such. Especially since the Year has to be pulled from the file's metadata in the first place.

On a separate note, what is the easiest and cleanest way to get album artwork loaded? In the scan of my 800 albums, only about 300 are showing artwork. For that same library in Apple iTunes/Music app I am only short about 100 album covers.

Sorry for the noob questions, I am not an LMS/Squeezlite or Linux maven.

Thanks again!

Where is your album artwork located? The normal way for LMS is to have a cover.jpg or folder.jpg in the album folder. Embedded artwork also works.

Or install Music and Artist Information plugin

Hmmm... What about:

title: text.startsWith("<") ? text : ("<div>"+text+"</div>"),

i.e. use 'div' not 'p' ???

Doesn't fix the layout problem, unfortunately.



But then it's not a big issue at all...

Thanks Craig! The latest revision from Github is looking great again!
And working with those two menu items.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll make a release soon - but having issues getting LMS running on my new dev laptop with Fedora 36 (missing perl libraries)

Are you running 32 bit? What Perl version is it using?
