I did an import of my collection and I noticed the RELEASETYPE tag showing multiple times.
When checking the tags using Mp3Tag. The filetypes are FLAC or MP3.
ep:
RELEASETYPE: e
RELEASETYPE: p
single:
RELEASETYPE: s
RELEASETYPE: i
RELEASETYPE: n
RELEASETYPE: l
RELEASETYPE: g
RELEASETYPE: e
album:
RELEASETYPE: a
RELEASETYPE: l
RELEASETYPE: b
RELEASETYPE: u
RELEASETYPE: m
Shorthands:
e\\p
a\\l\\b\\u\\m
s\\i\\n\\g\\l\\e
I even saw things like
[\\'\\s\\i\\n\\g\\l\\e\\'\\]
So I thought I try to write a beets plugin that sets the RELEASETYPE based on some conditions.
Singles are less than 30 minutes with 3 or fewer tracks. EPs are up to 30 minutes in length with no more than 6 songs. And albums contain 6 or more songs with a total length of over 30 minutes.
from beets.plugins import BeetsPlugin
from beets.ui import Subcommand
from beets.library import Item
command = Subcommand('releasetype', help='do something super')
class ReleaseTypePlugin(BeetsPlugin):
def __init__(self):
super(ReleaseTypePlugin, self).__init__()
self.config.add({
'album_length_threshold': 1800, # 30 minutes in seconds
'ep_length_threshold': 1800, # 30 minutes in seconds
'single_track_limit': 3,
'ep_track_limit': 6
})
def commands(self):
command = Subcommand(
'releasetype', help='Assign release type to items')
command.func = self.add_release_type
command.parser.add_option(
'-a', '--album', dest='album', help='Specify album name')
return [command]
def add_release_type(self, lib, opts, args):
album_length_treshold = self.config['album_length_threshold'].get(int)
ep_length_threshold = self.config['ep_length_threshold'].get(int)
single_track_limit = self.config['single_track_limit'].get(int)
ep_track_limit = self.config['ep_track_limit'].get(int)
if opts.album:
album_name = opts.album
albums = lib.albums(album_name)
if albums:
album = albums[0]
for item in album.items():
release_type = self.determine_release_type(
album, album_length_treshold, ep_length_threshold, single_track_limit, ep_track_limit)
self.set_release_type(item, release_type)
else:
print(f"No album found with name: {album_name}")
else:
for album in lib.albums():
for item in album.items():
release_type = self.determine_release_type(
album, album_length_treshold, ep_length_threshold, single_track_limit, ep_track_limit)
self.set_release_type(item, release_type)
def determine_release_type(self, album, album_length_treshold, ep_length_threshold, single_track_limit, ep_track_limit):
# album_obj = album.get()
total_tracks = len(album.items())
total_length = sum(item.length for item in album.items())
if total_tracks <= single_track_limit:
release_type = 'single'
elif total_tracks <= ep_track_limit and total_length <= ep_length_threshold:
release_type = 'ep'
elif total_tracks >= ep_track_limit and total_length > album_length_treshold:
release_type = 'album'
else:
release_type = None
return release_type
def set_release_type(self, item: Item, release_type: str):
if release_type:
item['RELEASETYPE'] = release_type
item.write()
# Do I need to update the library?
release_type_plugin = ReleaseTypePlugin()
I then ran my command releasetype -a "Album name" on 1 album to test. The type is single and I got the result as shown above 6 RELEASETYPE tags containing only 1 letter.
This is my config.yaml
directory: /media/sdb/music
library: ~/data/library.db
original_date: true
ignore_hidden: yes
art_filename: cover
import:
move: yes
incremental_skip_later: yes
log: ~/data/beetslog.txt
match:
required: label
ui:
color: yes
pluginpath: /home/bas/.config/beets/beetsplug
plugins: scrub discogs fetchart releasetype
scrub:
auto: yes
discogs:
index_tracks: no
fetchart:
cautious: true
cover_names: cover
sources: filesystem *
Does anyone now why it doing this on import and with my plugin?
