The changes are Qobuz-specific because they only affect Qobuz tracks but I think that everything should be fine as long as the massaged track titles are consistently maintained across the plugin, the player queue and the library, as is done now with the plugin option to append the version info to the...

[SamY]

Actually, you're right. A track in the player queue should appear exactly the same whether it came from the plugin or the library. I haven't made the changes yet to add the work to the title when importing to the library so that would need to be done also.



I like Jim's...

[SamY]

Looks good. Yes, I misunderstood. I thought you were just talking about changing the way the composer was displayed by the client, but you want to do the same thing with 'composer' as I did with 'work' (and which can also be optionally done with 'version'), which is to add it to each track title before...

[SamY]

A separator line of some kind is necessary to delineate standalone tracks from those associated with a 'work', while still preserving the track order. Any text string would do. Even just a blank line. I happen to like the "-------" myself. In any case, Default would still show the icon. Any...

[SamY]

That's not good news. How do you feel about proceeding with the change, given that the default skin view of my previous example would look like this?



Even if nothing can be done about it, I would let the client apps handle it as they choose given the popularity of Material...

[SamY]

Thanks for the feedback. Here are my responses.



I have made this change with one caveat. Having run into albums where every track is tagged as a separate work, a single-track work will have a playlist created for it only if there is at least one work on the album containing...

[SamY]

I think we might have a winner, boys! Here is the album used in the previous example, which is a bit of an outlier due to having four tracks from the same work spread out non-contiguously. It still contains a playlist at the top for each work that is represented on the album by more than one track (contiguous...

[SamY]

Ouch! I feel your pain! ...

[SamY]

As I mentioned earlier, there are very few albums as far as I can tell that contain both a 'work' tag and the work already embedded in the track title but, yes, that would have to be checked in any case. The statement you were responding to, however, was my decision to not trust, at this point, that...

[SamY]

Thanks for the good feedback, guys. I think I have a plan that will satisfy everyone, even the "non Classicos". All I have to do now is execute it.

[SamY]

Did you mean #2? If so, I agree and have decided for now not to proceed with trying to extract a work name from a track title containing ": ", even with the extra check for the "Classical" genre.

Regarding #3, i e. using the title with the prepended work name when importing...

[SamY]

Lol! Thanks, Jim. I like how you get right to the point. As a fellow "non Classico", I promise not to "balls anything up". I am only doing this as an act of mercy after discovering what the Classicos have to deal with when it comes to metadata. I can't help it. I guess I'm just an...

[SamY]

I'm seeing the same things you are, and am currently looking at trying to inject some "meta-consistency" into how the plugin presents all the varying tagging schemes regarding 'works'. There are many albums tagged as in your example, with the work already prepended to the track title. However...

[SamY]

I appreciate your confidence in my abilities, mherger. As soon as I wrap up my current attempts to improve how the plugin tries to make sense of the myriad different and confusing ways that classical music releases are tagged in Qobuz, I will look into this. In the meantime, I am on a mission. :coo...

Ignore my response above. I didn't realize that this topic had such a rich history behind it.

No recent changes to the plugin have anything to do with what you are talking about. However, there is an option in the Online Music Library Integration plugin that should do what you want. Personally, I prefer to see both versions in my library view but each to his/her own.

You can display the booklet with a couple of clicks by using the three-dot icon on the bottom right of the album screen and selecting "Qobuz goodies", but that won't show you the URL....

Anything showing up in the LMS log?

[SamY]

mherger Sorry. My bad. The copy of ProtocolHandler.pm in my Qobuz plugin directory had been inadvertently back-leveled. Everything is now fine. Thanks for merging my pull request for adding the 'work' to track titles. I think it will make those Qobuz users who are fans of classical music very happ...

[SamY]

Yes, I understand that now. Michael has fixed the OP's problem with an update to the Qobuz plugin. I apologize for my ignorance of the sharing feature in Material Skin. Is there nothing it can't do? ...
