*All* URLs were checked manually, but only once per domain!
I mostly concerned myself with URLs in documentation rather than source
code because the latter may or may not have impactful changes, while the
former should be straight forward.
Changes in addition to simply adding an s:
- changed pip and pypi references as their location has changed
- MPoD (iOS app) url redirects to Regelian, so I replaced those
- updated homebrew references
Notable observations:
- beets.io does have HTTPS set up properly (via gh-pages)
- beatport.py uses the old HTTP url for beatport
- as does lyrics.py for lyrics.wikia.com
- https://tomahawk-player.org/ expired long ago, but the http page
redirects to https regardless
- none of the sourceforge subdomains have https (in 2019!)
The setting is quite confusing. After having difficulty getting the autotagger to accept an id for a specific release that I knew was correct, I investigated and count [this closed issue][0] that totally explains the problem.
To clarify the issue, I quoted Adrian from the issue and elaborated a bit, providing the solution. Unfortunately, the solution is undocumented. I'd like to document it, but I am unsure what the actual weighting system in `distance_weights` is. Adrian says 0.9 to ignore missing_tracks, which implies it's similar to the distance weighting in the other settings, but other settings in the default config are set to multiples of 1, implying it is not.

- Rename config option to overwrite_null
- Leave overwrite_null empty by default
- Handle more potentially null fields for both album and tracks
- Remove documentation and changelog entries for now
Add a new `no_clobber` config option that contains a list of
"miscellaneous" metadata fields not to be overwritten by empty values.
I'm not entirely happy with the `no_clobber` name. Suggestions welcome.
Document important facts for self-hosting musicbrainz with beets. I don't want the beets docs to be the go-to reference for hosting MusicBrainz, but the search index requirement is not explained well on the beets wiki.
Full disclosure, I haven't finished building my index yet so I'm not sure if that is actually why I can't self-host right now. But I remember doing it before to fix beets integration with my Musicbrainz server.
This is related to #2688 where a list of hard-coded non-audio formats to
ignore has been added. Some users may want to rip the audio portion of
video tracks (e.g. DVD-Video) so it would be beneficial to let them
control exactly which formats to ignore.
I added a `ignored_formats` setting for that purpose and moved the
hard-coded list into the config. Test and documentation have been
updated accordingly.
Aside: I also clarified the changelog a bit regarding this change and
the related one for #1210.
`When a match is above the *medium* recommendation threshold`
->
`When a match is below the *medium* recommendation threshold`
As discussed in issue #2410, which is fixed by this edit.
I never meant for people to copy and paste this example---it's redundant and
probably wrong---but lots of people do! Removing a few weird options makes the
example clearer, I think, and will result in less-strange initial configs for
people who do copy & paste.
This new option allows users to provide a list of external config files
which will be evaluated when beets starts.
This is useful for keeping private settings (e.g. API keys) out of the
main configuration file.
I inserted musicbrainz.searchlimit at the wrong place, breaking the
hyperlink target `match-config` - and I also forgot to add a hyperlink
target for `searchlimit`.
This is mainly for backwards compatibility. It's also an effort to reduce the
support burden; this way, I can say "your config directory is ~/.config/beets"
without needing to ascertain whether someone is on a Mac.
