Queue does not populate "comment" metadata, only if the song is actually being played

[roizcorp]

Bug report

Describe the bug

mpd.conf consist of the following line
metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,genre,date,comment"

Queue does not populate "comment" metadata, only if the song is actually being played, this used to be OK in the past, not sure when exactly it got broken - I believe in recet versions

Expected Behavior

query the queue should present all the available comments
mpc -f %comment% playlist | sort | uniq | wc -l = 0

Actual Behavior

but unlike "genre" when pulling all available comments, the command comes up empty
mpc -f %genre% playlist | sort | uniq | wc -l = 3

the comments are "added" to the queue only if the song is actually being played
this happens also with graphical mpd clients which makes sense as this is all happening on the MPD server

You omitted the log. I don't see anything about how you populate the queue.

ack?

[MaxKellermann]

You're using the "proxy" plugin - what is the configuration on that MPD instance?

That's odd, I recall I answered, I took your hint and added "comment" to the MPD of the proxy, it worked...
I literally remember thanking you and asking you to close the issue...(I wonder which issue i actually typed these words)
Thanks anyway and sorry for the delay
