mass.search media_type radio is not working from release 2024.1.0b2

[lor74]

What version of Music Assistant has the issue?

2.0.0b79

The problem

I use mass search to get artist info using the media_type: radio (an option reported in the documentation). From last two update it doesn't work... but it still works with other options suc as playlist.

How to reproduce

service: mass.search
data:
  name: personal jesus
  media_type: radio
  artist: Depeche Mode
  limit: 5

Relevant log output

In the log (in dubug mode) the only related entry is: 2024-01-03 09:50:55.296 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.webserver] [547762212624] Handling command music/search

media type radio ? That is really strange!

If you want to fetch track info, you have to use the media_type track here

With 2023 package it works...

service: mass.search
data:
  name: Depeche Mode
  media_type: radio
  limit: 1

I use to get the URI of the artist and then start a playlist with radio mod on...

  - service: mass.play_media
    target:
      device_id: e325948e0c54ba0b8ea12bbc6d11b162
    data:
      media_type: playlist
      media_id: "{{ uri_result.artists[0]['uri'] }}"
      radio_mode: "on"

Changing radio with artist... mass.search shows the same result... I can't remember why I use radio instead of artist... (maybe I was using the prevoius release 2023.6.0b6)

You need to be more specific with your replies. What is the "same result"? Same as it used to work or same as what you did not include in your original post (you show your query but not the result?)

Sorry...

With this version: 2023.12.0 The following search

service: mass.search
data:
  name: Depeche Mode
  media_type: artist
  limit: 1

produce

artists:
  - media_type: artist
    item_id: 762310PdDnwsDxAQxzQkfX
    provider: spotify
    name: Depeche Mode
    external_ids: []

And if I use radio as media_type instead of artist

service: mass.search
data:
  name: Depeche Mode
  media_type: radio
  limit: 1

Response is quite similar

With the latest beta release media_type radio doesn't work on the request

service: mass.search
data:
  name: Depeche Mode
  media_type: radio

Thanks

Sorry if I am missing something but why not just use artist then?

[lor74]

Yes you are right... I can't remember why I have used radio... maybe with the previuos beta release (2023.6.0b6) I have got some issue with artist... Later I will update to the latest relese to confirm that artist is still working.
