    Hmmm - just testing this, it works for me, unless I misunderstand something.

    Original names:
    - c'mon kids!
    - C'Mon kids!
    - C'mon Kids!

    All suggest the response:

    - Set ALBUM_NAME in sn to "C'mon kids!"

    This is definitely sentence case we're discussing, right?

    That's excellent, thanks. I'd just consider this a bug, so I'll create a ticket for it.

    As per our email, you should in theory be able to connect to the music files by following http://bogo.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/13319/~/how-do-i-connect-to-beomaster-5-with-mac-os-x-el-capitan-or-newer%3F

    Can you do that?

    Other than that I'm not sure what functionality exactly you are looking for...

    Well, the original request is about adding a shortcut from the DSM desktop to the existing bliss interface, not about adding a native UI. I didn't see anything specific in the original request about native UI.

    Frankly it's unlikely I would look to put resources into a native UI. To maintain that alongside other builds would be too much work.

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    Oh - @Christian L. are you referring to apps with native UI? Yeah, that would be difficult to do. I imagined some web control that was embedding the bliss UI so you could see it within DSM.

    Can you give me some example apps so I can see how they work?

    Thanks Fred... is that a workaround?

    I guess it would still be good if this were added during installation.

    What is "DSM desk"? The web interface for DSM?

    This is a nice idea. Internally in bliss there is a rule language, used by some of the rules. It's of the form:

    noncompliant because "[reason]" when [boolean condition] {
    fixedby
    [list of responses]
    }

    The language itself is just the start, the language then needs objects and API a plugin writer can introspect. So here's a more complete example, the track artist rule (checks only one track artist in each album):

    noncompliant because "Track artists differ" when album.trackArtists.size > 1 {
    fixedby
    com.elsten.bliss.music.policy.tagsync.trackartist.SetTrackArtistsInStorageNodesResponse(album,album.trackArtists),
    if album.artist != mode(album.trackArtists) com.elsten.bliss.music.policy.tagsync.trackartist.SetTrackArtistsInStorageNodesResponse(album,album.artist)
    } otherwise "All track artists are the same"

    Here you have the "album" object which contains all the info about a given album, according to bliss. The xResponses are essentially 'fixes' which may or may not run automatically.

    If anyone has any feedback they're welcome to share.

    The first point may mean the playlist has to be edited, if it's using relative paths.

    For the second point, see http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1189065-manage-playlists-with-regard-to-the-planed-organi

    We might also need to define "unidentifiable". Does that mean:

    - Untagged?
    - Albums that have no linked releases?

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    Do you mean select to then move the albums to a separate folder, so you can work on them?

    Would it also be useful to simply list the rogue files/tracks/albums somewhere in the UI?

    Interesting idea.

    Note that if the original cover is less preferable in a consistent way to bliss's you could define a rule that means bliss will replace the art.

    For example, if the original cover is always 300x300 you could define a min size rule of 500x500 and ask that bliss always replace automatically.

    But I realise this might not always be the case.

    Do you just mean a text search of your library (inparticular the release title)?

    Yep, moving all the albums in a genre to another would also be easier then.

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    There was a bug where this could sometimes happen with music files that have mandated genre lists, e.g. MP3s, although I thought it was ok now.

    Can you send a separate email and include a debug archive which includes the attempts to change in the log (i.e. recreate the problem, then create a new debug archive)?

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) supported this idea  ·

    I agree - and I wonder if a treemap visualisation would be helpful for it too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treemapping

    It looks fairly easy to enable automation but I also have to double check how it works when it actually runs. I can't make any promises about when I'll get to it - I've got loads of stuff backed up.

    I agree - short term I could change that text. Longer term we could just offer any existing art anyway.

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    The problem is that the _Embedded art_ option is set to _Ignore embedded art_. Setting it to _Embed art where possible_ will cause bliss to use the artwork for folder.jpg.

    However, it will also cause bliss to embed artwork from folder.jpg. Maybe that's what you don't want?

    Thanks Steve.

    This should already happen (unless the embedded art is itself non-compliant for another reason, e.g. too large).

    Can you send screenshots and the debug archive?

    Nice idea - I don't think we can show all this information all the time though, it would have to be a popup of some kind.

    Resolution (x by y) should already show at the bottom left of the image. If it doesn't - which page are you looking at?

    You could probably do this with a find and replace regex - https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2019/02/13/find-replace-rule-fix-html-encoding/ (and also the consistent hyphen spacing too).

    A not very easy to use solution but...

    Are these albums where the track titles have been corrected? I suppose this is an inconsistency in source databases, therefore we'd have to have a setting in bliss to reconcile this to a consistent form in some way.

    Yeah, I agree on the before/after text. I've been trying to think up a common UI for such changes which would be used on all the screens. As ever it's a case of balancing the real estate required for such a change.

    This is an interesting development of http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1928497-ignore-compliance-for-certain-albums I think - it takes it one step further, giving a _reason_ for 'ignoring' the compliance, as it were.

    Yeah, I agree. We could even make the single fix buttons a bit less prominent (currently they can look a bit... ugly) and have a separate "Fix album" button with a pick list for all fixes you want executed, and then a single rescan.

    Nice idea - I think this would have to be built into the existing rules, because otherwise they would conflict (e.g. what would it mean to have the missing tag and remove tag rules configured for GENRE?)

    Cool, thanks for the update. Obviously this approach isn't ideal, but wanted to provide a workaround if you needed it.

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    You'd have to use ssh, like in https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General_Setup/How_to_login_to_DSM_with_root_permission_via_SSH_Telnet

    Then:

    cd /var/packages/bliss/target/var/.bliss
    cp setttings settings.bak
    nano settings
    [make the changes then ctrl-o, ctrl-x to save and exist]

    Then restart bliss.

    So, similar to http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/3132936-allowing-for-custom-sizes-and-dimensions-for-the-a

    Workaround: this is possible to do yourself by following these instructions: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/01/09/custom-album-art-sizes/ except change:

    com.elsten.bliss.music.policy.coverartpolicy.CoverArtPolicy.maxDataSizeBytes=262144

    To the number you want...

1 2 5 7 9 24 25
