Track Numbering(metadata)

[Blackbear199]

Back Again,

for multi cd albums
folder structure before import.

• Album Artists
  • Album Name
    • CD1
      • Disc Number =>1/3,Track number starting at 1
    • CD2
      • Disc Number =>2/3,Track number starting at 1
    • CD3
      • Disc Number =>3/3,Track number starting at 1

$Disc$Track. $Title (i dont think the format has anything to do with the issue)

what i expected is
101. Title
....
115. Title
201. Ttitle
...
214. Title
301. Title
...
317. Title

what i get is..

101. Title
     ...
102. Title

when i view it in my media player its one long list of tracks rather than split into 3 discs with each starting at track 1 for numbering.
in each disc folder in mp3tag i set the disc number and renumbered the tracks like this before import.
i cant remember if headphone changed the disc numbers to 1 or left them unedited(i fixed all the tags again with mp3tag), for sure it renumbered all the tracks in the metadata..

Hm, the tagging is done by beets. Headphones just passes is it the location and a musicbrainz album id. I'll look into it though, maybe there's a configuration option we can pass, and i think the library might even try to read a beets config.

You could try that out in the meantime:

was doing some reading myself,
found this post regarding this and to use the inline plugin?

[Blackbear199]

found it..

[rembo10]

Yeah see if creating a beets config with that option does anything

[rembo10]

I'll still check on my end if we can pass some kind of config option to the autotagger

EDIT: It doesn't look like it but it does look like it reads the config

[Blackbear199]

took me a bit to find a multi cd to download to test.
all cd and track numbers were correct in metadata.

$Disc$Track. $Title

also got all the filenames correct.
hopefully u can add this to the settings page,savces alot of work.
even add a note to edit toe beets.yml file if thats not possible.

Yeah see if creating a beets config with that option does anything

i missed what you said about creating the yml file.
i didnt have to create,enabled the feature in /headphones/lib/beets/config_default.yml

[rembo10]

Ah yeah - you are running headphones as the headphones user without a home directory right? I was going to see if you could create the config.yaml to see if it was picked up by beets without having to modify the headphones source, but it's good that it at least works that way....

[Blackbear199]

its runs on my nas(Thecus)
everything is installed as a module.
3rd party delevoper created a install module for headphones,at that time the python libaries were included with this installer
now we have separate python2 and python3 modules.
when i updated headphones i edited the start script to use python3
i searched everywhere and cant find the beet binary,it has to be there somewhere.

[rembo10]

I'm not sure I understand. The beets binary wouldn't be installed since it's just the library being bundled, but you could run it as python headphones/lib/beets/__main__.py?
