Squeezebox Playlist Artist Name Missing

[annomatik]

The problem

When I play back (any) single track with Media Player with the Squeezebox Integration, I get the album art, the track title and the track artist -- that's good.

On the other hand, when I play back playlists, the track artist is missing for all of the tracks that play back -- that's not so good.

Please also display the track artist when playing back a playlist. Or better still, let me configure the meta data that should be displayed, maybe even with infos like genre and bpm.

Thanks!

I'm able to reproduce this bug, investigating the cause now.

Ah, I've figured out what causes this. It is an issue with the frontend. Any time more than one track is queued up in the Squeezebox, it is in playlist mode. But when in playlist mode, the frontend uses the playlist attribute rather than the artist attribute as the secondary title:

I think the right path here is to open an issue in the frontend repository. I've done so here: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/22039

Thank you!

The frontend mod has merged. It looks right now. I tested the dev version locally and it shows the artist name under the title just like playing a single track, even when playing a playlist. This issue can be closed.
