How to find missing albums/eps by release type?

The closest thing is beet missing -a, but I also want to exclude compilations/live/etc from output. I’ve tried queries like beet missing -a albumtype:ep, but it still returns whole release list from musicbrainz. Any thoughts?

Hmm, interesting point—the query argument to missing filters the albums before looking for missing albums among them, not after fetching the missing albums. I don’t think we have a way to do the latter, but it seems like a good idea. Would you mind filing a feature request on GitHub (unless there’s one already there)?

It seems there is one already: https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/2661
