Upcoming moOde 8.1.2 release
#4
(07-03-2022, 12:04 PM)Tim Curtis Wrote: Currently moOde code does not correctly parse the cover art and tracks from cue/flac format either non-embedded cue or embedded cue. The non-embedded format is much more straight forward and so thats where the improvements were made.

By non-embedded cue I mean there is a separate flac and cue file in the Album directory and the flac file does not contain an embedded cue sheet. I used XLD to create the example test files.

Example:

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ ls -l /media/VFAT128/Test_mixed/cue-test-no-embedded/
total 229504
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      1388 Jun 27 02:56 Spectrum.cue
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234972804 Jun 27 02:56 Spectrum.flac

pi@moode:~ $ metaflac --list --block-number=2 /media/VFAT128/Test_mixed/cue-test-no-embedded/Spectrum.flac

Folder view
This shows the drill down starting with the Album directory "cue-test-no-embedded". When this is clicked the cue virtual directory named "Spectrum" is displayed. When this is clicked the tracks are displayed.
  

Audio info for one of the tracks


Playback and Playbar showing the embedded cover art in the flac file and the thumbnails for the Queue and Playbar that were generated during Library update.
 

Tag and Album view. There is still a bogus album header in the tracks list but this should be fixed for the upcoming 8.1.2 release.
 

The first five images reflect exactly how it is currently working on my "branch".
The main problem with album art was the appended "track0005" (for example) which resulted in the parent folder being the name of the cue file, messing up things (checked for ".cue/track" and removed it before looking for album art, and this fixed the problem)

Last two images show the cue file itself added as a track... I saw this today too, as I was messing around with the preferences - never saw it before, and got fixed with a "rebuild library"...

Anyway, I discovered that when parsing the entries for building the various library / folder views there is special attention that has to be paid to the .cue extension. Also, cue's are (well, were, for what is worth on my "branch... ) doubled (one browseable, as you show in your pics, and one not), and I believe that one entry is the cue itself, while the other one is the cue treated as a folder.

I do not remember what I actually did, but spent much time monitoring what every single entry in the folder view was about, and fixed the behavior.

For the TAG / ARTIST / ALBUM views, the problem was only related to the album art not being displayed; and the problem was "only" the appended "track<4_zeroes_padded_track_number>" => pathinfo(PATHINFO_DIRNAME) returned <cue filename> => not a valid audio file nor a real folder => no album art found.

Everything else is correctly parsed by MPD, I believe: I can add a single track, a whole album, or a whole DISC (if my cue embeds more than one disk, as per Pink Floyd - The Wall for instance), or the whole DOUBLE ALBUM directly from the TAG / ARTIST / ALBUM view. Folder view does not allow for single disk, but allows whole album and single track.

Again, I have not a single song as FLAC: I only have around 300 discs, all ripped to single FLAC + CUE, and I can do whatever I want from whatever view.

The fact that in audio info there is track000? in the filename is IMO correct (could be displayed differently, if you like, but is correctly showing what info we are looking at).
Also, track number and disc number are correctly shown (track number from CUE info, and disc number from the FLAC file the track belongs to)

I will compare your changes to mine; and if they fix everything as I was able to do, I'll be more than happy to discard all my code; if not I will see what is missing, and come back to you for a chat about embedding further changes... does it sound ok to you?

cannot attach text files... here is how "The Wall" is set up in my library:

This is an example of a CUE file addressing 2 FLACS in my library:
