Found the debug plugins, another feature I didnt know existed !!

it reports these tagtypes

tagtype Artist, Album, AlbumArtist, Title, Track, Name, Genre, Date, Composer, Performer, Disc

I think we are definitely speaking at cross purposes, mos...

the duplicates may also have been caused by me pressing the skip button quickly to scan through the traks checking to make sure they matched what I had searched for rather than actually listening to them !!

I have to be honest I love what you have done to...

I've had a look at the Artist / Album Artist query as well and I understand what is happening not sure there is easy fix though, for a fairly esoteric use case anyway. Adding album artist index inside track table perhaps and seaching against ...

All the year stuff seems to be working correctly as far as I have tested, what would be useful is a line somewhere saying how many songs have been found that match the criteria.

After you have performed the search are the found tracks randomised,

Whoops just remembered you havent done much with year and track !!

The year selection criteria still seems locked to the first track on an album, then any track on that album will be chosen

How is Album Artist used in the selection criteria, it appears to select tracks where either the Artist or the Album Artist equals the selection criteria ?

rather than specifically Album Artist

Just trying out the new criteria selections

There is an odd occasional issue if i select a specific year and a specific artist if that artist appears on an album which has a different album artist

I created a station with the following crit...

Yes as the year is only stored in the album table and seems to use the year of the first track, and the year is not stored in the track table there will always be issues with any rules that use years, if you have albums where the tracks are from diff...

Wow great first cut of the code

A couple of inconsistencies

Parameters for Genre and Tracks by Artist are case sensitive
in the custom radio station the parameters are not case sensitive

Personally I prefer non case sensitive

One strange bug...

In backends/sql/sqlite/Specifics.php It looks like you are not creating a column for genreindex in the tracktable if its a brand new database, code is there further down to alter tracktable to add column

I'll try it tonight, and let you know any feedback

the option is also missing in the online docs at https://fatg3erman.github.io/RompR/Automatic-Collection-Updates

Its worth looking at Kodi, it has a "party mode" which allows you to choose any rules you want to play random music

there is a simple screen allowing you to apply rules

gernre / artist / duration / year / album / title etc etc

contains / does ...

Ha Ha. yes Windows will ignore any standard ever created and invent their own, to be fair they're not as bad as they once were

thanks for reply

I dont use spotify last.fm etc and am only using mopidy as I couldnt get kodi to work without plugging in a monitor

I thought there had to be a reason why genre was not in the database

I'll raise an issue in github about the 100 entri...

Thanks for the reply, yes it works fine in the end I cleared the artwork folders as so many of the images displayed were incorrect presumably picking up American album sleeves etc rather than UK ones.

folder.jpg is pretty common as a music folder image ...

In the albums.php code there is a note about how to use curl to update the album

giving this example

curl -b "currenthost=Default;player_backend=mpd" http://localhost/rompr/albums.php?rebuild > /dev/null

but a command based on this does not wo...

Hi done a bit more digging and noticed the two choices for personal radios for genre and tracks by artists, although they seem to only select the first 100 or so entries and then choose five tracks from them so the effect seems to be the same few tra...

had a look at the source code and I have chaged line 64 of getalbumcover.php to include "folder"

$covernames = array("folder", "cover", "albumart", "thumb", "albumartsmall", "front");

this has fixed issue

is there anyway I can rescan art to replace cove...

Could you explain in simple terms how rompr picks local album art

I have just under 2000 albums in my library all of which have a folder.jpg file in the folder for the album

but rompr is unable to find art for 679 of them

Hello,

just getting started using mopidy and Rompr so apologies if these are silly questions

I usually use Kodi to play my music, but I have been unable to get it to start without a monitor on particular ubuntu server (normally use the libree...
