streaming_extractor_music profile options not working properly

[ybayle]

If I supply tonal: compute: false in the profile provided to streaming_extractor_music, it does not take it into account and still add the tonal info in the resulting file. Moreover, if I just want danceability from rhythm, I can't succeed in removing the other features from rhythm.

Currently "compute" only works for "highlevel" category of descriptors. We can turn it back for "tonal", "rhythm" and "lowlevel" too, but we won't offer a greater specificity at this point in time.

Ok, so the only way to achieve this is to use python and extract only desired features?

[dbogdanov]

For now yes, or you can fork Essentia code and comment all the code you don't need in the extractor.

Ok, thanks.
