Description
b5216a0 is a proposed fix for #5218
We don't assume anymore that if the pattern lacks the "artist" group it also has the "title" group (this was causing the "title" KeyError, when the pattern containg only the
?P<track>
group is used).Instead, we check for existence of "title" before assigning "title_field", otherwise we let the last pattern (which will always match) to assign it. The only slight drawback is that files like "01.mp3" will also get "01" as title (besides the "1" track number), instead of having no title, but I guess that is not going to cause any major problem in the rest of the import procedure (e.g. track matching after a search). On the other hand, I guess allowing a file to have no title would require a substantial rewriting of the plugin, since the empty string is in BAD_TITLE_PATTERNS.
0966042 adds a log message about the pattern being tried
This is useful while debugging changes to the regexps in PATTERNS.
I used loglevel "debug" for this message, should we use "debug" also for other messages (currently using level "info")?
e6b7735 refactors the regexps in PATTERNS
I reviewed the regexps (especially after the changes I made some time ago in 84cf336) and tried to make them cleaner.
01 - Artist Name - Title of the song
) or not using spaces (e.g.01-artist_name-title_of_the_song
). Some regexp groups are non-greedy, to avoid capturing unwanted leading/trailing spaces in artist/titles; we could think about some other enhancements, e.g. automatically converting underscores to spaces in artist/title names, but I guess the main use of the plugin is not to produce a perfectly formatted title, but a sufficient meaningful one to be used as reference in the following stages of the update procedure.?P<tag>
groups by making them optional in the first two patterns (instead of having two versions of the pattern, with or without tag). BTW I'm not sure what these groups are about: we optionally check for them in the plugin, but we never use them to assign any metadata.01_some_tack.mp3
)
