Re: New Minion 2 Alpha: 1.99.23 II

Hi Chris.

One more: I am wondering if the filename (currrent playing song) in the header-field should also be replaced with the new .wav-guess-tags

Cheers

Hi Chris.

Wow - Your .wav tag-guess works quite well on the first glance!!! Real great job. I am not aware of any other application under Linux doing this.

Comment: I had do insert the key to about:config manually.

I use this file-name-format: Tracknumber-Artist-Album-Tracktitle

This way I always have all information tight to a file-name without tags. All blanks are filled with underscores ( also a standard EAC feature - probably made for Unix folks)

Two early comments:

1. On my own playerscript (I use it to run ecasound)  I remove the ugly "underscores" when displaying the fields,  e.g. echo  "$1" | sed -e 's#_# #g'
    I am bringing this up because I'd guess that Unix folks (At least l am doing it) using the standard feature of  EAC to fill blanks with underscores.
     It would be really great to get a selectable option to swap "_" with " " in the tag-fields.
2. Are you using a fieldseparator to separate the fields? Perhaps it should be configurable, even though most of the times it should be "-".

Thx again for your great work.

* Added about:config option extensions.mpm.guess_tags, default=false.
 Setting this to true will cause minion to guess the tags from the
 filename when there is no Title tag from mpd, instead of just using
 the filename.

* Fixed bug where playlist time is shown in seconds on startup,
instead
 of hours, minutes, seconds.

* Fixed bug where queries and View Details did not work from the
 statusbar playlist.

* Added mpdplaylist.crop() command, which can be used in a custom menu
 item.  Crop will delete all but the selected item(s) from the
 playlist.  I may add this to the default menu items in future
releases.

Absolutely, I had just overlooked tht.

Thx for acting so quick on all the feedback.

Looking forward to rev. 1.99.24

I just posted 1.99.24, which includes the fixes for tag guessing.  I wasn't able to recreate the issue you described, but it may be fixed in the current version.  Included in this release is a fix for a bug that I introduced with tag guessing which would freeze up minion with radio streams.

One more issue: (I skip to issue an official issue for the time being. If this is OK with you.)

I configured below pls playlists. (perhaps you can make use of them)

What I do:

1. Select playlist
2. Select all
3. Play
4. Delete playlist

On the 4. playlist the whole thing complete locks up.
The connection goes down. And you can not even reconnect.
I need to restart mpd afterwards.

Below a list for testing:
