Cue sheet support. - Githubissues

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Please add .cue sheets (internal and external) support.

Thank you!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

As far as I know, cantata does support cue sheets. They should be listed in the 
artists and folder views.

however I don't actually use cue sheets myself. what functionality is missing???

Here, only a big track is listed.

cantata-1.0.3

Original comment by alexandr...@campus.ul.pt on 28 Jun 2013 at 8:37

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

But what else should be displayed? Cantata does not parse the cue files, and 
there is no point to it parsing them. As far as I know, there is no way to load 
a segment of the file into mpd - so what would the point be to showing them???

MPD has support to .cue since version 17.

Need --enable-cue and libcue to work.

Thanks!

So how does a client ask mpd to play the third segment of a cue file?

Original comment by craig.p....@gmail.com on 28 Jun 2013 at 9:07

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

There are a few clients supporting that (some web based):

ie. ncmpcpp (from 0.5.8)

http://ncmpcpp.rybczak.net/

Sorry, 

Ncmpc does a better work with cue than ncmpcpp (ncmpcpp just add duplicates).

*libcue actually is not needed.

Thank you!

There are 2 files (cue_parser.{c,h}) in mpd-0.17.3/src/cue/ for cue support.

Original comment by alexandr...@campus.ul.pt on 2 Jul 2013 at 12:27

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Please update to trunk, if you can. I've now added better cue file support. If 
cantata can read the cue file (which means it needs to know the music folder 
location), then it will create a 'virtual' track for each segment in the cue 
file. The only issue is that there is no way for cantata to know the length of 
the last track, so this is shown as Unknown.

As I said I dont actually have any cue files, but I hacked one together with a 
self compiled MPD - and it seemed to work as expected.

Please update and let me know if this is now working ok.

Changed state: Started

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I forgot to mention, but you will need to either delete cantata's cache of the 
mpd library, or update the mpd database to see any changes. To delete the 
cache, use the cache page in the settings dialog - the restart cantata

Tested :-)

1 - There are the length of the tracks. Its works!
2 - I don't know if related but the album folder won't be displayed on the 
"Artist" tab (tree) and the artist/album are listed as "Unknown" (track names 
and numbers are correct). But there are the album folder on the top-left after 
start playing the album/track;
3 - On the "Albums" tab there are no reference at all.
4 - On the tree two files are displayed: .flac and .cue, just .cue play indeed.

I can provide a .cue album if you like, but .cue a just have a bit noise/metal 
albums, I think.

Thank you!!!

Can you paste the contents of a cue file here? As I said, I dont have *any* cue 
files - I just hacked one up using a sample from wikipedia!

As well as the cue file contents, can you also state:

1. Relative path to the cue file (eg SomeArtist/TheAlbum/Album.cue
2. Relative paths of all files referenced in the cue file
3. Metadata (eg. ID3 tags) for each file referenced in the cue file

Thanks.

-------------

As to your points above
2. The artist and album names should have been taken from the cue file, I take 
it they are not listed in the cue file? Should the metadata for this come from 
the flc/mp3/etc  file instead?
3. Odd, if its in the artists tab I would have expected to see it in the albums 
tab too
4. Which tree? The artists tab? If only two files are displayed, cue and flac, 
this would imply that Cantata could not parse the cue file - and has fallen 
back to its previous behavior.

*4 - Yes, Artists tab.

This is the same cue file used for test:

1,2 - All files (.{cue,flac,log}) are on the same folder: 
/home/$USER/Music/AlbumTitle/
3 -  I will extract that and paste here soon.

I added a new album and the things are a bit different with that.

1 - On the artists tab still the same as before with the Slayer album, but 
doesn't work with the new album. (I will be sharing that soon)
2 - Albums tab now display the Slayer album as unknown but without the cover 
image, and display correct infos of the new album but without the cover. 
Indeed, perhaps, there are no album cover on server to use on that.

I did some screens screenshots:

You dont need to update the database, just deleting cantata's cache is enough - 
because if this is not deleted, cantata will use that when its restarted.

The linked file only contains the flac, can you post the cue file too?

Also, just so that I have the *same* setup, what is the folder structure like? 
I'm assuming:

/var/lib/mpd/music/Various/Various - The Rough Guide to Scottish Music - Music 
Rough Guide 2nd Edition.flac
/var/lib/mpd/music/Various/Various - The Rough Guide to Scottish Music - Music 
Rough Guide 2nd Edition.cue

where the rest of my music is also, e.g.

/var/lib/mpd/music/A.S.A.P./Silver And Gold/01 The Lion.mp3
...etc

and /var/lib/mpd/music is listed in Cantata as the MPD music folder.

Original comment by craig.p....@gmail.com on 3 Jul 2013 at 5:48

On mine is:

/home/$USER/Music/Various/Various - The Rough Guide to Scottish Music - Music 
Rough Guide 2nd Edition.flac
/home/$USER/Music/Various/Various - The Rough Guide to Scottish Music - Music 
Rough Guide 2nd Edition.cue

Default music folder on mpd.conf

/home/$USER/Music/OTHERSARTISTS

/var/lib/mpd/music is also listed in Cantata as the MPD music folder.

I was certain that the cue file was placed along:

So, cantata is NOT configured with the correct MPD music folder? If it is not - 
then it will not be able to access the cue file. MPD only passes Cantata the 
relative folder.

e..g if MPD is set to use /var/lib/mpd/music, and you have  
/var/lib/mpd/music/a/b.cue MPD will list the cue file as a/b.cue. Unless 
Cantata is configured with the correct MPD music folder, it cant possible load 
the cue file.

If you have MPD's music folder configured as "/home/$USER/Music/OTHERSARTISTS" 
how dies it find "home/$USER/Music/Various"??? Surely you mean MPD's music 
folder is ""/home/$USER/Music/" ???

So, I fix the correct music folder in Cantata. I was never noticied thats 
wrong, since everything work out-of-the-box.

Yes, "/home/$USER/Music/"

Now, everything fixed, cache cleaned, cantata restarted but same as before.

I noticied now, when I click on the cue file of the Scottish album there are 
this error message: "Bad Song Index". Play only if I click on the .flac

Sorry for that mistakes.

OK, I've just done the following:

1. Built 0.17.4 of MPD (as Ubuntu only has 0.16)
2. Started a new MPD instance, with the following config

music_directory "/home/craig/Music"
playlist_directory "/home/craig/Music/.mpd/playlists"
sticker_file "/home/craig/Music/.mpd/sticker.sql"
db_file "/home/craig/Music/.mpd/tag_cache"

log_file "/dev/null"
metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,disc,albumartist"
audio_output {
  type "alsa"
  name "Output"
}
mixer_type "software"
audio_buffer_size "8192"
filesystem_charset "UTF-8"
id3v1_encoding "UTF-8"
bind_to_address         "any"
port                            "6601"

3. Placed the cue and flac from above into /home/craig/Music/Various

4. Started MPD

5. Started Cantata - configured it for the new server, with music folder set to 
/home/craig/Music

6. Only 1 artist and album appears in the artist tab. This is The flac with all 
tracks and the cue file listed

7. Only 1 album appears in the albums tab. Again this is the correct album with 
the correct title and track listing.

So, it does appear to work. There is no 'Unknown' album for me.

However, I do get the bad index warning - so need to fix this.

If you start a new MPD, with a config similar config to the above, do you get 
the same results?

I'm using the same configurations except the username and I'm using pulseaudio.:

Using the same album I get the same results. But when using the first tested 
album, the Slayer album, I get different:

1. The Artist is unkown
2. The Album is unkown
3. Only one .flac and one .cue file appear, OK
4. The are no bad index warning here
5. When start playing clinking on the cue file, there are on the righ side 
(playlist) the artist name, album name, tracks numbers and correct lenghts.
6. On Top Left the album cover is displayed but isn't displayed on the Artist 
tab.
7. That album is also as Unkown on Album Tab and without cover picture.

I can also share the first album, the Slayer album (there are no issues for 
me), but I don't know if there are any issues doing it here.

Thank you.

I'm installing the rubyripper (I believe it also create cue files) to avoid K3B 
issues when creating the cue file, but it will take a while (Gentoo running on 
old laptop). There are all ruby stuff to be compiled too.

The album and artist will be 'Unknown' if the flac file itself has no meta 
data. MPD informs Cantata of the flac and cue files. MPD should send the flac 
filename and details first, if this has no meta data - then iit will be 
assigned to 'Unknown' by 'Unknown' Then MPD should send the name of the cue 
file. *if* Cantata is configured correctly. it will attempt to read the cue 
file (for this to work the correct music folder needs to be set in Cantata's 
config).

I've just tested, by using kde3 to remove the metadata from the above flac, and 
deleting cantata's cache file. When Cantata was restarted, the album was given 
the correct details from the cue file.

--------------

If you update trunk, I've now added some logging that /might/ help. 

1. Delete Cantata's cache file (rm ~/.cache/cantata/library/*.xml.gz)
2. Start Cantata from a terminal window as follows:

CANTATA_DEBUG=2 ./cantata

This should now log lines such as:

...um, you need to update and compile trunk. that debug is the cover fetching.

I compiled from trunk around 3 hours ago. There are something new?

I believe there are 2 issues:

1. K3B cue issue
2. A issue with the Slayer album cue file (ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb4).

This is the cue file from rubyripper, appear working OK.

Yeah, I added the debug logging :-)   ...so you need to update to get that!

I've just tried with the cue from above (changed the FILE setting to match the 
flac I have), and it now works ok for me.

Is it now working for you???

Do you still have issues with the Slayer cue file?

Original comment by craig.p....@gmail.com on 3 Jul 2013 at 7:50

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

The Scottish album ripped with rubyripper is working. :-) Just not have the 
cover art, but I think there are no cover art for that on server.

The Slayer Album still the same and with these outputs:

MPDParseUtils Got playlist item "Show No Mercy/Slayer - Show No Mercy.cue" 
prevFile: "Show No Mercy/Slayer - Show No Mercy.flac" 
MPDParseUtils Adding playlist file to "Unknown" "Unknown"

I'll ripp a 3º album* in order to avoid issues with cover picture.

*"Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets" (I know there are cover 
for that)

Rubyripper is too slow, but seems to work better than others. :-)

Off topic: Does Cantata look for a embedded cover art on music files?

Thank you!

I ripped the DMB album and everything work as expected: :-D

Original comment by alexandr...@campus.ul.pt on 3 Jul 2013 at 8:44

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

With the slayer album, is it 1 cue file = 1 flac file with multiple tracks?

Because, judging by the debug either cantata did not or could not parse the 
file. It will only parse, and use the cue file if:

1. MPD is >-0.17
2. Filename ends with .cue
3. It can be parsed - this means it could be opened (so need correct music 
path), and the code could parse the contents
4. The number of flac/mp3/etc files mentioned in the cue is LESS  than the 
number of tracks. (So, if you have 1 cue = 1 flac, and the cue has multiple 
tracks then this would be ok)

If all the above succeeded, you would have had a log line such as:

 "Parsed file, songs:" 12 "files:" 1

...but you did not.

that said, I used the slayer cue file from above with the flac that you linked 
to (renaming the files and the FILE line), and it was listed OK. (The cover 
even appeared in both artists and albums views)

With the slayer album, is it 1 cue file = 1 flac file with multiple tracks?

Yes

1. mpd-0.17.4
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No, the numbers of tracks actually  match.

Just that two lines on debug. Not the:

"Parsed file, songs:" 12 "files:" 1

I tried just right now with a 4º album also created by "ExactAudioCopy 
v0.99pb4". Same issue. So, there are a bug (or something) with "ExactAudioCopy 
v0.99pb4" when ripping.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Then that is the problem. If there is only one music file (flac, mp3, etc) and 
only one track, then cantata will not use the cue file. This was to work around 
another potential issue. But I guess the code could be changed so that it will 
use it in this case if there is no meta data for the audio file

Original comment by craig.p....@gmail.com on 3 Jul 2013 at 9:41

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Also, why would you have this? I mean why have 1 track with no meta data in the 
audio file, but have the meta data in the cue file. I don't see why you would 
ever want this...

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I riped with ExactAudioCopy v1.00 Beta 2 and more issues come. So that sofware 
is the problem.

Also, why would you have this?

I have TBs of music in tons of organized folders, IMO is easy to organize and 
maintain having only two files instead many.

Also, sometimes, there are some releases of the same album: more compressed  
but with some bonus, less compressed without bonus and better sound; from vinyl 
24/192, from CD 16/44 (better for portable devices). And using separated files 
I can accidentally mix them.

Thank you!!!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

When I said more compressed or less compressed is about in audio mastering. Not 
flac, mp3 etc. Currently, with digital music, most music are being masterized 
with a lot of compression in order to play loud easily at cost of the music 
quality, detail, dynamics, better soundstage, etc. They simple can't do that on 
vinyl due to fisical limitations. ;-)

Thank you very much for your attention!!!

Original comment by alexandr...@campus.ul.pt on 3 Jul 2013 at 10:20

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

OK, please update to trunk again. I've changed the code so that the cue file 
should now be parsed if the artist and album are currently Unknown. This should 
fix the remaining issue.

Original comment by craig.p....@gmail.com on 4 Jul 2013 at 11:14

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Oh, now it work better than expected. B-)

1. Artist tab: there are the cover art, album and artist name. Instead of 1 
.flac file are all track separated (like the normal way) plus the .cue file.
2. Album tab: There are the cover art, album and artist name.

Thank you!
