Ошибки и замечания / Bugs / [?] [1246] Cover-art disappears from lockscreen/app status icon

« on: March 27, 2023, 07:09:46 »

(Seems this issue which I earlier mentioned was _not directly related to online-coverart_ as I originally thought, as it occurs both with files which have embedded coverart, as well as ones where AIMP performs a search and downloads over the Internet.)

Description:

There's a tendency for AIMP to "reset" the coverart displayed on the lock-screen when the player is running and has progressed onto another track or album. When accessing the AIMP app, going to 'Home' and re-locking the device, the coverart displays again. However, it is often reset when the next track starts playing.

I would guess this is related to multitrack files, as it does not make sense for the player to reset the album art, unless it expects this in each track. However, since all tracks are in the same file, there is only one picture to deal with (and download once, for files which do not have a cover attached)

This is for Ogg Vorbis (I manually added covers to test - AIMP sees these, but I noticed similar behaviour as when it downloads cover art in that it is not always displayed when running for a while).

btw.-I believe the player version is still on v3.30.1246 (01-Feb-2023). (I did not see any mention of changes to this in the changelog.)

Ошибки и замечания / Bugs / [x] [1246] AIMP picks incorrect album title for certain Ogg Vorbis files

« on: March 19, 2023, 07:35:27 »

Hi Artem and others-

First of all thanks for a fantastic player; I'm using it daily.

I have however come across an extremely weird bug (or behavior, if you will) in the most recent AIMP version on Android (v3.30.1246 (01-Feb-2023) relating to how AIMP displays title and track information for one-track ogg files (btw. most other files of the same one-track ogg type do display correctly, converted the same way from .flac with FFmpeg)

Since I have spent a number of hours trying to "fix" metadata for the problematic ogg file which does not display correctly (AIMP is using *the first song track title* as the album/top-level title - instead of the *main TITLE or ALBUM tags* in the CUESHEET - or the first TITLE occurence in the CUESHEET), I thought it best to send a report here. (I cannot see what is wrong, and it could be something obvious if another person takes a look at it)

I am including mediainfo output for the file below, and a similar file which displays correctly. I have also re-tagged the file several times, in order to add an ALBUM and a TITLE ("track name" the same as the album title). Before doing so, it was similar to the metadata for the ogg file at the bottom (which works). It should not be a UTF-8 issue either, as the cuesheet in question does not have any encoding requiring this (i.e, dos2unix or :set fileencoding=utf8 in vi leaves it as ASCII)

When scraping this file, AIMP reports the album (i.e, top level, before the individual tracks) as "The Man Machine [Warszawa Sala Kongresowa - 27-May-2004]", instead of the album/main title ("Minimum-Maximum").

Since I also thought it might be related to the square brackets used, these were also removed/changed to "(" - and the error followed (album was now "The Man Machine (Warszawa Sala Kongresowa - 27-May-2004)" etc.

I would be very thankful for any insights on what is going on here, so that either AIMP can handle this type of file, or I can modify the metadata accordingly if there is something wrong I am not seeing.

Reporting it initially as a bug, as I cannot see any issues with the file, and since the metadata displays ok in other players such as DeadBeef and VOX (I can obviously provide the file itself somewhere so that this can be tested directly)

Thanks.
