Album Artist field is not correctly recorded when scrobbling tracks from MediaMonkey for Android #249

Closed zachrank closed 2 years ago

zachrank commented 2 years ago

The album artist for tracks that have different artist and album artist values is not picked up by Pano Scrobbler when listening to music via MediaMonkey on Android (MMA). I've reached out to the MediaMonkey team about this and they claim that they set android.media.metadata.ALBUM_ARTIST. Is android.media.metadata.ALBUM_ARTIST the correct setting that pScrobbler reads for album artist? If not, what is the correct setting?

Here is a screenshot of my conversation with the MediaMonkey team. image

According to the ticket #227 pScrobbler should pick up album artist if it is indeed reported. Since this is not happening it seems that one of the following situations is happening:

I told the MediaMonkey team that I'd reach out to pScrobbler about this next. Is there anything that I can do to help debug this or show proof that the bug is on the MMA side?

For reference, I tested this with MMA 1.4.3.0950 on a Samsung Galaxy S10 running Android 12 and One UI 4.1 and the latest version of pScrobbler.

According to https://github.com/kawaiiDango/pScrobbler/blob/32fdf8c0c4727d79a410701b4a1809067edf8381/app/src/main/java/com/arn/scrobble/SessListener.kt#L217 , pano reads the album artist

I also tried printing the mediamonkey metadata for the following file: Screenshot_20220906-184456_MediaMonkey

I got this:

    android.media.metadata.ALBUM_ART: android.graphics.Bitmap@201716a
    android.media.metadata.ARTIST: ayame
    android.media.metadata.NUM_TRACKS: 1
    android.media.metadata.DISPLAY_SUBTITLE: ayame
    android.media.metadata.DURATION: 315400
    android.media.metadata.DISPLAY_TITLE: DAYS
    android.media.metadata.MEDIA_ID: 1
    android.media.metadata.TRACK_NUMBER: 1
    android.media.metadata.ALBUM: CLOUD 9
    android.media.metadata.TITLE: DAYS
    android.media.metadata.ALBUM_ARTIST: ayame

Huh, then it would seem that MediaMonkey is indeed broadcasting android.media.metadata.ALBUM_ARTIST as their support team said but its reporting the wrong value for the album artist. I'll bring this issue back up with the MediaMonkey team. Thanks for debugging/verifying on your side @kawaiiDango!

In case anyone is wondering, I've followed up with the MediaMonkey team on this. They've confirmed that they're setting the value for ALBUM_ARTIST incorrectly and that it will be included in an upcoming beta version of the app. Here is a link to the issue in their bug tracker: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19359
