rich presence shows "unknown" about mpd-discord-rpc HOT 7 CLOSED

The program will fall back to "unknown" if a tag is missing - can you check if your music is tagged properly? If it is, what type of file is it, where is it sourced, and is MPD able to see the tags?

Regarding the AUR package, can you try removing your local cache and doing a clean build please?

from mpd-discord-rpc.

This will fix the build failure JakeStanger/discord-rpc-client.rs#1

from mpd-discord-rpc.

Cheers, didn't spot that PR. Lockfile & AUR package updated so should be working now.

Ah yeah looks like tagging was the issue. I ended up retagging my library with musicbrainz picard, I'm just curious what do you guys use for it? And if the song isn't on musicbrainz is it possible to fallback to using metadata in the file instead of just "unknown"

I use a mix of MusicBrainz Picard and PuddleTag. Picard is great for getting the bulk of the metadata, including the MUSICBRAINZ tags that things can hook into, and album art. PuddleTag offers a spreadsheet like editor which is great for bulk-editing and quick changes to stuff Picard can't do (or does badly).

is it possible to fallback to using metadata in the file

MPD's database is populated using the file metadata, which it automatically keeps up to date (unless you explicitly turn auto updates off). That means it'd be reading the same data, but doing it from disk instead of MPD's DB, so it still wouldn't exist.
