Pictures stretched, last.fm search with tags #512

#512 Changed algorithm for risizing non square cover art
Cover Art display now looks perfect! Thank you very much! |
I've been considering that there might be issues when searching via ID3 tags. Therefore, I propose that having the ability to rename the 'Artist' directory virtually could resolve this issue. |
I've never thought this far. I see many problems with split CDs and samplers etc.. the possibility to virtually rename the artist directory could solve this issue... even though if it's much work to do for me. |
I've researched a few albums in last.fm , and it seems that albums with multiple artists are registered either under each individual artist or under 'Various Artists'. If using a folder-based management approach like Airsonic Advanced, and needing to associate albums with multiple artists, one approach could be to place the album under one artist's directory and create symbolic links for other artists. Of course, physical copies are also an option. |
Okay, it's probably a bit more complicated than I initially thought. I think we definitely need clear rules about how the 'folder tree' and tags should look for a proper display of the contents so that it works equally well for everyone. In order to be able to use this function in the intended form, there will be no other option than to save samplers separately and, when adding these folders as media folders, tick the box that the folders they contain are samplers with Various Artists. The artist info function is generally not usable and/or intended for these. To cut a long story short: For my purposes, it would be enough if I could overwrite the folder name (that of the respective band) with a virtual name that corresponds to the correct name of the band - perhaps with an artist.nfo file contained in the artist folder - or another way to manually change the recognized artist. However, I am not a programmer and therefore cannot really say which would be the best solution. Nevertheless, I think it is imperative that it remains possible to browse the music via the created file system order. (P.S.: Thinking of this conversation I'm willing to ask if this Project will offer a possibility to donate in the future. You've earned it.) |
Thank you for sharing your management approaches; clear rules are indeed necessary. Firstly, I plan to implement a feature to virtually rename artist folder names. I appreciate your offer of donation. While I hesitate a bit about profiting from Airsonic Advanced, which many developers have contributed to in the past, I am grateful for donations considering the significant time I've dedicated to maintenance. I will consider your suggestion. |
My Logfile says WARN --- o.a.p.s.CoverArtCreateService: Failed to process cover art org.airsonic.player.domain.CoverArt@1eff33fd
Does this have to do with this change or is this another issue? It popped up while browsing the Newest or Random Albums Site. |
It seems this issue occurs when there is a problem with the JPEG image itself. Adding a library might improve it slightly, but it might be better to consider changing image file. |
Ah okay, so I'll just change the jpeg image. This wasn't obvious for me with this much output in the logfile. I think we need some TL;DR for error-logs :D |

…er-name #512 Added Feature to Rename Artist Names
Ok, so after clearing the dsub cache it randomly shows up album covers or just nothing as artist images. |
Firstly, to clarify, the scope of this comment pertains to Artist images and not Album Cover Art, correct? For Artist images, when no image exists, I believe a default image like the one in Music2 here with the artist's name displayed is generated. Is it accurate to say 'just nothing as artist images` refers to this scenario? Currently, in Airsonic Advanced, if an Artist image exists in the Artist folder, that image is displayed. Otherwise, a text-only image is displayed. This behavior might explain why it appears random depending on the presence of an Artist image. What are your thoughts? |
Yes, I'm just talking about the artist images in the android app DSUB with an existing artist image in the artist folder. |
Since the change #500 it is possible to store an own artist picture in the artist folder.
Unfortunately, a lot of band logos/pictures are now stretched/distorted - just like the album covers, when it's a cover of a tape or another non-cd aspect ratio.
The aspect ratio of the covers/bandpictures should remain original - even if there are black bars at the top and bottom or left and right of the picture.
This is what band logos look like when they are not square images:
Plus, using the artist name from the tags for the last.fm infos would be excellent, because I'm using filesystem-names without spaces to prevent charset-failures on different operating systems. Currently, only one-word bands are found correctly.
Thanks in advance,
