streamrip v2.4.8

2.4.8

Thanks to @berettavexee for the Deezer quality fix and the FLAC cover fix below. (#26 and #27).

Deezer

• Logging in no longer means digging the arl cookie out of DevTools. streamrip
  offers a choice: an isolated browser window where you log in yourself and
  streamrip keeps only the arl cookie and never sees your password, or entering it by
  hand, with the steps printed. Entering it by hand is the default, because the
  browser option may have to download a browser first. Deezer has no sign-in for
  outside apps, and its email and password login is behind a captcha.
• The quality comes from asking Deezer, not from FILESIZE_*. Those fields are
  often 0 for a format Deezer does serve, which made streamrip download such
  tracks as MP3 320, or skip them ("Missing download info"). Each quality is
  requested from the wanted one down and the first that returns a URL is used;
  the file extension comes from the CDN URL. A quality Deezer lists a size for
  but gives no URL for (a rate limit, say) fails the track instead of silently
  falling back to a lower one
  (PR #26, by
  @berettavexee, with a follow-up for the
  rate-limit case).
• Album folders and labels name the quality the tracks come in. They always said
  [FLAC] [16B-44.1kHz], so -q 1 gave a FLAC-named folder full of MP3s. It is
  now your configured quality within what your subscription allows, lowered to
  the best quality every track of the album has: one track without FLAC makes it
  an MP3 album. Such a folder can still hold a FLAC, since every track is asked
  for the best quality it has.
• Lossy albums leave the empty [UnknownB-UnknownkHz] out of the folder name.
  This also applies to Tidal AAC and SoundCloud.

Tagging

• Qobuz writes several track artists as separate ARTIST values, main artists
  first and then the featured ones, in the same order as Tidal. Qobuz lists
  credits in no fixed order, so the clean and the explicit edition of a track
  used to tag different artists.
• Several album artists are written as separate ALBUMARTIST values for every
  source, instead of one A, B, C string. Libraries that split multi-valued
  tags (Music Assistant reads them through ffprobe) showed a release credited to
  several artists as one extra artist. Folder names still use the joined string.
• Tagging a FLAC a second time after conversion (FLAC to FLAC) no longer embeds
  the cover twice (PR #27, by
  @berettavexee).

Tidal

• Singles and playlist tracks are tagged with their album's own metadata. A
  track response only names its album, so a feature credit ended up in the album
  artist, the track count was missing and the stream date stood in for the
  release date. The album is fetched once per album; if that request fails, the
  old behaviour is the fallback.
• The device login waits for the link's real lifetime (5 minutes, not the
  "10 minutes" it announced), says so when the link expired, and a real
  rejection includes Tidal's own description.

SoundCloud

• Small playlists, which come with every track's metadata up front, no longer
  fail every track with "not enough values to unpack".

Search

• The preview in streamrip search shows the same details for every source, next
  to the cover: a track's album, number, release date, length, genre, label,
  composer, BPM, key and quality, and likewise for albums, artists and
  playlists. Covers are drawn with quadrant blocks, twice the detail across of
  half blocks.

Logging in and progress

• Qobuz and Deezer log in through the same browser helper: the same window, the
  same 5-minute wait (Qobuz's was 2 minutes) and the same "Credentials saved to
  config file" message.
• A download whose size is unknown gets a pulsing bar. A total of 0 made it look
  finished: a full bar without a spinner.

Config

• [misc] check_for_updates is gone: the update check runs before every command
  by design and never read it. Config files with a [misc] section still load,
  and so do ones without.

Internals

• Cleanups: Downloadable is a plain base class, the media types are one
  table, the redundant album semaphore is gone, playlists hold track ids instead
  of full metadata, and the progress bars, Tidal client and SoundCloud helpers
  share their code. The live Qobuz tests run again (set QOBUZ_USER_ID and
  QOBUZ_AUTH_TOKEN).
• streamrip.metadata no longer exports AlbumSummary, ArtistSummary,
  TrackSummary, PlaylistSummary and LabelSummary; one Summary replaces
  them.
