"Davis current" not outputting anything

[ignition-ctrl]

Hello, saw your post on r/unixporn. Used cargo to install this, and davis current is not outputting anything. It only returns two newline characters. MPD is running, ncmpcpp shows me a connection, and davis queue shows my queue. Using kitty, and tested on urxvt as well.

Hi! Could you try to run davis -v current, to see if we get some more output from the debug logs? Lets read the full metadata of the track you are listening to. Let's also read the full metadata from the current track: davis read-comments "$(davis -p status | grep '^Song' | cut -d: -f2-)", and see what it contains.

davis -v current:

No config file found, using default.
Found no host in config file, defaulting to 127.0.0.1.

davis read-comments "$(davis -p status | grep '^Song' | cut -d: -f2-)" :

The second one outputs nothing. I ran davis -p status, which gave me this.

Song:songs/lalalandsuite.mp3
Time:03:56/07:20 (53%)
State:paused
Position:73
Volume:80%
Repeat:on
Random:off
Single:on
Consume:off

I also tried compiling it straight from the github repo, no difference. I don't have a lot of metadata on my songs, usually just the title and artist, and I only have around ~100 songs.

And what is the output of davis -p read-comments 'songs/lalalandsuite.mp3'? Would you mind sending me this file by email?

It's possible that it just lacks any metadata. In that case, I guess davis should default to just showing the filename.

davis -p read-comments 'songs/lalalandsuite.mp3' also outputs nothing. I tried a variety of different songs, davis current shows nothing for them while davis status shows the correct information. I download my songs from youtube, and tag them with eyeD3. I sent you an email to simon@flaskpost.me with lalalandsuite.mp3.

I'm having similiar issues, though the only thing I get as output with davis current is Label Universal Music. ffprobe shows the following Metadata of my song, so that can't be the issue:

I've pushed a commit to the branch id3-fix, could one of you try that out?

davis current

高中正義 Thunder Storm

Label Universal Music which is the Artist, Songtitle and Label.

Well, that now seems to give the desired output.

[SimonTeixidor]

Great, thank you. I've pushed a fix to main and released a new version on crates.io.

[ignition-ctrl]

Yep, works for me now! Thanks
