I like the CAA as a first-priority search because the images are generally
high-quality and there's no metadata ambiguity (we always find the right
release if it's in the catalog).
* Ensure that `config.as_str_seq()` returns a list of unicode objects.
* Map these to bytestring paths so we can compare them to other paths.
Fixes#887
This reverts commit c56412a1d5.
- The Requests library advertises itself as thread safe.
- Cookies aren't so interesting, but keep-alive /
connection pooling would be nice to have.
This might have been perfectly correct, but I read that requests.Session
objects share cookies between requests. That makes me nervous for two reasons:
- thread safety (does requests lock the cookie jar internally? who knows?!?)
- leaking cookies could have privacy/performance implications; we don't need
'em anyway
- Remove "part", "volume", "vol." multi-disc markers. These are often
part of album titles, and not necessarily indicative of a multi-disc
album. Only look for "CD X" and "disc X" (case insensitive), ignoring
white space and other non-word characters.
- Don't only expect each disc to be in a subdirectory of a common parent
directory, with all siblings belonging to the same release. Also match
any consecutive siblings (even when the parent contains other albums)
that are named with the same prefix and multi-disc marker.
- The `albums_in_dir(path)` function now always yields a list of paths
along with each list of items. `ItemTask.path` is now always a list of
paths.
- The `displayable_path(path)` function now accepts a list of paths, and
will join them with "; " by default. This can be changed with the
`separator` argument.
- The `sorted_walk()` function now does a case insensitive sort on
directories, but still returns case sensitive results. This allows
better multi-disc album detection.
- The `art_for_album()` function now takes a list of paths as its second
argument, instead of a single path.
We currently just document the fact that convert.exe can interfere with finding
ImageMagick's convert binary. We can solve this with a config option easily once
confit is merged.
This also changes the line endings for fetchart.rst back to Unix.
`urllib.urlretrieve` was using the correct extension in most cases -- I think
when the URL ended with .jpg -- but not in every case. This was leading to files
named just "cover" and not "cover.jpg" or something else sensible. In
particular, proxied URLs don't have .jpg extensions. This generates the filename
manually so the source image always has an extension.
