Issue concerning album art color detection #645

Open digimezzo opened 6 years ago

digimezzo commented 6 years ago

This was reported by a user. To be verified, as the algorithm to select the most significant color never changed:

Hello, i noticed lately that the dopamine is taking the wrong colors from the albums. could we get a feature to select what color it pulls from the album art?

Usually the vibrant mode is preferred, but dopamine seems to take the least used color. Ex. The album by Fall out boys - mania, dopamine selects gray, but the album color is purple.

Asking this because 80% of the time, dopamine selects a graytone instead of the proper album color, and every album in my library got their covers.

Hello, I am the one who reported it. Didn't know of the GitHub page.

I uploaded a collection of screenshots on how dopamine behaves and added description to each picture: https://imgur.com/a/as2KK

A prefered behaviour would be like on Android. Differentiation between the colors in the art. In Dopamine this could be fixed to Vibrant, or give option to select a few of them. Link to how Android handles the situation: https://developer.android.com/training/material/palette-colors.html

Example of how it works in the latest Android: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipM3QtH8IDvOyEUugMSxSNILDgHVM0YXEJOQftu32CPIq4Bd8DnStO5WwP-fcQHTDQ?key=NXU0QkNRTUJqR1FVUmJ5QnY4bUdLNTJvT0dHSXJ3
