Running python snipped on prefix

[per...@gmail.com]

Returning back to playing with sonospy. It's worked pretty well for me in the past year doing the basics; now I want to overcome some of the annoying limitations of what the Sonos controller displays (e.g. omits composer, title is limited length).

If track metadata has composer as "Mozart, W.A." and title is "Kegelstatt Trio....", I want sonospy to feed to Sonos the title as "Mozart - Kegelstatt Trio..."

If I didn't mind the ", W.A.", then the following works marvellously

index=track

entry_prefix=composer

To save screen real-estate on the controller, following the instructions on Python snippets in defaultindex.ini, I thought the following should do the trick. But it makes me unable to browse music in this branch of the tree:

index=track

entry_prefix=composer{composer.split(',', 1)[0]}

What am I doing wrong? Someone with better python experience can probably see immediately what the problem is, I suspect something about when stuff gets substituted in the exec call in dynamic_makepresuffix in mediaserver.py

In pycpoint.log, it chokes in mediaserver.py line 6529 (where it does the actual exec fix=data) with a NameError: name 'Mozart' is not defined.

Thanks, Martin

There's nothing wrong with your snippet, there was a bug in the code - it only worked with numeric fields (I guess it has only ever been used for dates). I've pushed a fix to the msrefactor5 branch.

Thanks. Installed and works like a charm. Martin
