bs1770gain fails

[tecosaur]

Problem

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv replaygain
user configuration: /home/tec/.config/beets/config.yaml
data directory: /home/tec/.config/beets
plugin paths:
Sending event: pluginload
error: replaygain initialization failed: bs1770gain exited with status 1

Led to this problem:

error: replaygain initialization failed: bs1770gain exited with status 1

Which happened after adding this this config

replaygain:
    backend: bs1770gain

Please see https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/3367.

[tecosaur]

I see thanks. Looks like my google-fu wasn't good enough.

So, fixed in the next release?

[tecosaur]

Oh also, a quick query (might as well ask here), would you happen to know whether the replaygain plugin adds the --replaygain arg to bs1770 to normalise to -18 LUFS as specified in RG 1/2 as opposed to the default -23?

[sampsyo]

Sorry, not off the top of my head—but this shouldn't be too hard to answer by looking at the source code.

[tecosaur]

I see, and just to confirm: this issue is fixed in the next release. Yes?

[sampsyo]

Yes.

@tecosaur looking at the "bs1770gain" section of the ReplayGain plugin documentation, it seems like we default to --replaygain: https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.17/plugins/replaygain.html#configuration
