Does MPRIS expose Genre
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Does MPRIS expose Genre? If so it'd be nice to be able to filter on genre,
It does actually, and it seems reasonable to allow filtering on it. Should be easy enough to add! (famous last words)
Thanks or looking into it. Would be nice for filtering Podcasts.
@bonelifer
Do you use Spotify? If so, I may have bad news: Spotify unfortunately doesn't expose the genre property. In fact its MPRIS support is notoriously bad and it basically only provides artist, title and album.
If you still want this feature or don't use Spotify, I will try to implement this for the next release.
Yes I would. I download my podcasts with GPodder and will be using MPD with a mpd MPRIS client.
Great, thanks! Would you be willing to test this feature before release?
Sure. I need to setup one of the MPRIS clients first as I have been deep diving into github/gist and google for interesting MPD related scripts.
@bonelifer thanks. Genre filtering is implemented on the filter-genre branch. I can also send over a binary if needed.
Apologies for the late reply.
Going to test later. But have this problem with the systemd file:

Forget those errors. Restarted and all is well. Error randomly returned. Switch to running it via session Autostart entry, works. Such a weird day. Will report back later.
Ok, tested. Works. Thanks for your work.
Perfect, thank you! I'll release this in the next version, hopefully soon.
@bonelifer I've just released version 0.6.0 which includes this functionality!
