Return one valid genre even if its weight is lower then ```min_weight```.
Default for ```min_weight``` is now *10*.
Added new config option ```max_genres``` to limit the amount of genres returned. Default is *3*.
The delete() method on Mutagen objects writes the file directly. Calling
save() was unnecessary and, in at least one case we found, could inadvertently
preserve non-standard tags that Mutagen did not understand.
These config options make it easier to customize the command (no need to make
a single-element formats dict). And the opt config option provides backwards
compatibility with the previous style.
The format key is now the (lower-cased) format name string used by beets,
which means we can precisely detect which transcodes would be unnecessary. To
facilitate this, I added an ALIASES dict which allows more convenient names to
work for this (e.g., "wma" is easier to remember than "windows media").
This allows you to use a socket in your home directory (e.g.
`~/.mpd/socket`) without having to specify the full path including the
username (which can change from machine to machine).
By moving the duplicate file removal to the manipulate_files coroutine, we
ensure that all previous albums are fully moved/copied before trying to delete
their duplicate files.
In preparation for enabling queries over flexattrs, this is a new path that
lets queries avoid generating SQLite expressions altogether. Any query that
can be completely evaluated in SQLite will be, but when it can't, we now fall
back to running the entire query in Python by selecting everything from the
database and running the `match` predicate.
To begin with, this mechanism replaces RegisteredFieldQueries, which
previously used Python callbacks for evaluation. Now they just indicate that
they're slow queries and the query system falls back automatically.
This has the great upside that it lets use implement arbitrarily complex
queries without shoehorning everything into SQLite when that (a) is way too
complicated and (b) doesn't buy us much performance anyway. The obvious
drawback is that any code dealing with queries now has to handle two cases
(slow and fast).
In the future, we could optimize this further by combing fast and slow query
styles. For example, if you want to match with a substring *and* a regular
expression, we can do a first pass in SQLite and apply the regex predicate on
the results. Avoided for now because premature optimization, etc., etc.
Next step: implement flexattr matches as slow queries.
Setting the default preferred_media to null is more like previous versions.
This way, as digital becomes more popular, we aren't stuck with a default
configuration that prefers an outdated format.
Saves paranoid and interested users from having to either force all max
recommendations to none or constantly go back to candidate selection
from a recommendation to see if there is another slightly less similar
but more preferred (by the user) candidate.
The new Distance object knows how to perform various types of distance
calculations (expression, equality, number, priority, string).
It will keep track of each individual penalty that has been applied so
that we can utilise that information in the UI and when making decisions
about the recommendation level.
We now display the top 3 penalties (sorted by weight) on the release
list (and "..." if there are more than 3), and we display all penalties
on the album info line and track change line.
The implementation of the `max_rec` setting has been simplified by
removing duplicate validation and instead looking at the penalties that
have been applied to a distance. As a result, we can now configure a
maximum recommendation for any penalty that might be applied.
We have a few new checks when calculating album distance:
`match: preferred: countries` and `match: preferred: media` can each be
set to a list of countries and media in order of your preference. These
are empty by default. A value that matches the first item will have no
penalty, and a value that doesn't match any item will have an unweighted
penalty of 1.0.
If `match: preferred: original_year` is set to "yes", beets will apply
an unweighted penalty of 1.0 for each year of difference between the
release year and the original year.
We now configure individual weights for `mediums` (disctotal), `label`,
`catalognum`, `country` and `albumdisambig` instead of a single generic
`minor` weight. This gives more control, but more importantly separates
and names the applied penalties so that the UI can convey exactly which
fields have contributed to the overall distance penalty.
Likewise, `missing tracks` and `unmatched tracks` are penalised and
displayed in the UI separately, instead of a combined `partial` penalty.
Display non-MusicBrainz source in the disambiguation string, and
"source" in the list of penalties if a release is penalised for being
a non-MusicBrainz.
An earlier change (due to @pedros) added the ability for plugins to define
template fields that work with Albums as well as Items. This enables some
cool new use cases but required that every template field definition check the
type of its arguments. Instead, this iteration on the idea distinguishes
between fields meant for Items and those meant for Albums.
In addition to simplifying the implementation of these functions, this also
enables the creation of album fields with identical names to item fields.
(For example, a user contacted me recently about adding a $bitrate field for
albums, which would be the average bitrate of the items. They can do this now
using a plugin.)
I also changed the docs to stop using the decorator approach to registering
template fields. We're moving toward removing those.
That's 371cc72f2d09 in hg. This makes the patch slightly more general by
reusing our type conversion infrastructure. It also uses "bytes" as a synonym
for "str" that I find a little bit clearer.
I thought having "MusicBrainz" colored green was a little distracting since
it's the common case (and universal without the discogs plugin), so this just
makes it neutral-color in that case.
This is a refactor of the plugin developed by `imenem`.
- Pass `artist`, `album` and `va_likely` to `candidates()` so that
plugins don't have to work this out from `items` all over again.
- Pass `artist` and `title` to `item_candidates()`.
- Silence spurious `urllib3` info log lines.
- Use a proper "beets" user agent with `discogs_client`.
- Remove `abstract_search` plugin. It seems unnecessary. How many
music databases are there? How many will beets support? How much
common code might there be between them? We can add some abstraction
if or when more databases are supported.
- Derive more AlbumInfo and TrackInfo properties from discogs Release
objects, especially album ID so that beets doesn't just use the first
release and think all subsequent releases are duplicates.
- Add basic documentation, doc strings and code comments.
- Sanitise search query. Remove non-word characters and medium info that
might filter out good search results.
- Use artist `join` strings from discogs Release object when an album
or track has multiple artists.
- Don't rely on discogs track position, which is unreliable. But tracks
are in order, so we can recalculate medium and medium_index as long as
we can extract a consistent medium across tracks from the position.
- Add "various" as a known signal to indicate various artists.
- Prevent `chroma` plugin from returning a a huge track distance for any
track that is missing an ID (e.g. all discog tracks).
- `TrackInfo.index` should be the release index (calculated by beets),
not the medium index (derived from discogs track position).
- Add `AlbumInfo.data_source`. It's "Unknown" by default which is shown
in red when displaying a suggested or selected match. The built in
auto tagger sets it to "MusicBrainz" which is shown in green. Anything
else (e.g. "Discogs") is shown in yellow.
- Remove double spaces from album titles (bad data from Discogs).
I've removed the -p option. The command now always shows plugin-provided
template fields if any are available. We also avoid printing out blank lines
for plugins that don't provide fields.
- adds another traversal through all plugins' template_fields for each
'evaluate_template' call.
- requires the following idiom (or equivalent):
@Plugin.template_field(field')
def _tmpl_field(album):
"""Return stuff.
"""
if isinstance(album, Album):
return stuff
Reading the fetchart docs it was not clear to me that it would use _any_
image file found alongside your music files, even if the image file did
not have one of the five privileged names (cover, front, art, album,
folder). I humbly propose these edits to the docs in an attempt to make
it more clear that, by default, any local image file will be used.
I also corrected '"album," _for_ "folder"' to '"album," _or_ "folder"',
and from reading the code I'm pretty sure that remote_priority needs to
be true, not false, in order to prefer remote sources.
Add a 'fallback' option to facilitate working around the 100 queries/day google
limit by marking files as 'visited' so they are not considered for lyrics search
on the next beet run.
I've put my own google_engine_ID as default value in the code but could be
reconsidered, this engine contains databases known to be scrappable by the
plugin algorithm though.
