Send MusicBrainz IDs in ListenBrainz submissions

tybug

@jonas No worries; thanks for checking in.

The latest version of Strawberry will read MusicBrainz tags from FLAC, Vorbis comments (Vorbis, Opus, etc), MP3 (ID3v2), MP4 and ASF (WMA).
You need to do a full re-scan for them to be included in the database.
I have tested most of them, the only one I haven't tested at all is ASF. Please report any bugs you find.
You can verify that it's reading the tags with:

select url, acoustid_id TEXT, acoustid_fingerprint TEXT, musicbrainz_album_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_original_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_album_id TEXT, musicbrainz_original_album_id TEXT, musicbrainz_recording_id TEXT, musicbrainz_track_id TEXT, musicbrainz_disc_id TEXT, musicbrainz_release_group_id TEXT, musicbrainz_work_id TEXT from songs;

For accessing the database, see https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Accessing_the_database

The "Love" button for Listenbrainz will now work if you have MusicBrainz Track ID for the song.

That would be appreciated, I can probably do it in 1-3 months time. I can't promise sooner, because I have some serious back problems (modic), so sometimes I'm in too much pain to work.

"Gonstead chiropractors" , they are pretty rare, but also pretty effectiv to fix many body issues.
they mainly are in the us, uk.
if you find one in your country make sure to visit. it can change your life.
found only two in france, and they are magicians.
here an example :https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YJsvAwdyRnM

Thanks for the release! Everything looks to be working correctly after a full collection rescan.

Hmm. After a few hours of continuous usage, strawberry seems to stop submitting "listen completed" events to musicbrainz. "now playing" still submits correctly, but musicbrainz never sees the current listen get completed. All listens before this point worked correctly, both with the now playing and completed events. I don't know at exactly what point this stopped working - the only thing I remember doing out of the ordinary recently is changing to a new playlist and changing the order of playing songs with the "queue to play next" feature.

I haven't observed this behavior before (previously using 1.0.15). This is a pretty weird bug so I'm not 100% convinced it's strawberry's fault, but it seems unlikely it's something wrong with listenbrainz. Let me know if there's any debug information I can provide that would help with this.

@tybug
I see no issues looking back at my own history (My listenbrainz profile: https://listenbrainz.org/user/jonaskvinge/), but I don't have musicbrainz tags.
If you are on Linux you should be able to see some debug output about scrobbles by starting Strawberry on the terminal.

I'm seeing the following logs, all for the same song:

This is a song that previously submitted to listenbrainz fine.

If it helps, here's sql output of the tags for this song:

Similar behavior for all other songs.

@tybug
Does the musicbrainz entries in ~/.cache/strawberry/strawberry/listenbrainzscrobbler.cache look correct?
Close strawberry and delete that file and see if it starts scrobbling again.

tybug

@jonas the scrobbles in that file look correct, yes. As in, they look like the scrobbles I would have expected to be submitted but weren't.

Scrobbles submit correctly again after deleting that file.

jonas

Strawberry sends multiple scrobbles in batches, I'm guessing the problem is that one of the songs has an invalid artist mbid, so it's rejected, but never cleared from the cache, since the batch was rejected, so Strawberry will just re-send the same batch and it's rejected each time because one of the songs with incorrect artist mbid.

tybug

@jonas The very first scrobble in the cache had the following artist id:

2ea8cbd8-f8d3-4d5e-ab62-f2f74a5b27db/529c0669-8994-4356-92f0-048fec6d8dd1

I'm guessing the slash (multiple artists?) is where things are getting tripped up.

        {
            "album": "Void Walker",
            "albumartist": "GHOST DATA",
            "artist": "GHOST DATA feat. AL!CE",

        },

jonas

I have to think about what to do in this case, because it's not possible to know what song / artist mbid is rejected based on the response from musicbrainz, and dropping the whole cache will drop all scrobbles currently in the cache.

tybug

I am a little surprised that the listenbrainz api is rejecting the artist id here (if indeed that is what's happening). This is the canonical artist id from musicbrainz picard, so it's not really an "incorrect" id:

I'm not familiar with the listenbrainz api, but I would hope (perhaps naively) that it handles artist ids in the same form as given in picard.

jonas

@tybug
It is sent as an array, but It could be the entries with a slash needs to be spitted by the slash, and sent as two different entries. I can experiment with it.

jonas

I can confirm that splitting the mbid's by slash and appending them individually to the Json array works. Fixed now (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/d9c4720a3ee776dde2701eac21fd0b51ae50a78a).
