MusicBrainzID support

[mxjeff]

Hi,

Trying to have MPD_sima working with mopidy I stumbled upon this issue:

# Here are correct requests
printf 'find artist genre Idm\nclose\n' | nc localhost 6600
OK MPD 0.19.0
Artist: Autechre
OK
OK
printf 'list artist musicbrainz_artistid 410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61\nclose\n' | nc localhost 6600
OK MPD 0.19.0
ACK [2@0] {list} not able to parse args
OK

These request are fine and defined in the protocol.
It looks like mopidy is not supporting well MusicBrainzID.

Cheers

I would like to have this too, since I always used mpd-sima to have a dynamic playlist. The lookup should be restricted to only local media (I don't wanna auto-add podcasts or such ;)).

Best,

Henning

I'm joining the crowd too - the issue is still present.

I just gave mopidy another try, but this feature prevents me from using it on my rpi 3 box.

Hi,
I would also like to be able to use mpd_sima together with mopidy. mpd_sima now includes a workaround that avoids querying the musicbrainz_artistid, which results in a mostly random added songs. Please, do export the musicbrainz_artistid from the local files.
Thanks,

Humm, please @maxyz, don't hesitate to comment on gitlab if the mopidy compat is behaving badly.

To be clear, the musicbrainz tags are supported in local files served by Mopidy-Local. A typical listing might look like:

lsinfo "Local media/Albums/love of cartography"

file: local:track:sleepmakeswaves%20-%20Love%20of%20Cartography/sleepmakeswaves%20-%20Love%20of%20Cartography%20-%2001%20Perfect%20Detonator.mp3
Time: 354
Artist: sleepmakeswaves
Album: love of cartography
Title: perfect detonator
Date: 2017
Track: 1/2

What is not yet supported, is querying for these tags.
