Thanks Slarti' & Jim. Sure plonking an artist.jpg in the Artist folder does what you describe. As I said, I'm not particularly bothered, but thanks anyway!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to list all Albums and Artists in LMS library
In the back of my mind I have a feeling that dropping an artist.jpg into a regular Artist folder works in the same way as bio.html in the same folder but I’m not certain. That's correct: the lookup would check an album's folder and walk up the folder hierarchy to check for artist pictures. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to list all Albums and Artists in LMS library
@johnd What the above means is you just need to find an image for The Family - name it artist.jpg and put it in your Artist folder for The Family and do a rescan and it should be picked up. This is a one off correction measure and you should not need to set a folder inside the settings for MAI which would download everything. This assumes that 1) you use the normal Artist/Album folder structure 2) your The Family tracks are local and not from an Online source Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to list all Albums and Artists in LMS library
Thanks so much Roland0 for lms_getalbums - pretty much exactly what I
needed. I have but one request (would have a go myself, but my Python
knowledge is VERY rudimentary - pretty much do everything I do with Bash
scripts...).
Here's the issue (fyi, I use the --no-sortcase --sort-ignorearticles
options):
- Artist 1 Name: *Family* (both TPE1 & TPE2 tags are "Family")
- Artist 2 Name: *The Family* (both TPE1 & TPE2 tags are "The
Family")
- In LMS Settings > My Music > Articles to ignore when sorting, I
have: The El La Los Las Le Les
lms_getalbums produces:
36279
The first 5 albums are by Artist 1; The 6th album ("The Family") is by
Artist 2. But, everything is grouped under the "Family" artist name.
So, what would be really good(!) would be something like IF ArtistName
includes an "Article to ignore when sorting", THEN append ", " to ArtistName. So, in my example, I would see the first 5
albums listed under ArtistName "Family", and the 6th album listed
separately under ArtistName "Family, The".
Hope that makes sense. And I rather suspect it would require a lot of
rework in your script (not to say the possible addition of a further
command line switch... "--append-ignorearticles").
Regards, Jon

Roland0 wrote: > You could even create a 'batch file' > (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-and-run-batch-file-windows-10) Amazing - I've now made a 2-line batch file that runs the python then opens the output file in my web browser. With a shortcut to the batch file on my desktop, it's a one-click, three-second journey to seeing the output! For me one major improvement would be to use, if possible, LMS's sort order for album artists (the one that ignores selected beginnings of artist names, such as the, el, le). A minor improvement would be to use sans-serif font in preference to the browser default (us people who suffer astigmatism read sans-serif easier than serif). And my favourite background for the navbar and artist highlight lines is still "Grey", with font in "Blue". (I've tweaked your file to do last two, but I know that will disappear with any update) Overall, a wonderful result!!

Maybe five seconds - plus a half hour to find the output LOL !! A very usable file under 200KB listing my 3.2k albums. I'm a Python beginner; my PC runs Windows 10, where I've now installed Python 3.8. The first screen shot shows the commands I ran (after a lot of Googling) to get the output. When I pressed 'Enter', Python did its thing for five seconds or so, showed no error message - and I couldn't find the named output file until I did a Windows Explorer search. Now I know to include the path to where I want the output file to go. The second image shows the first few rows of the output file, without the navigation pane. One request: Would it be possible to sort the output without case-sensitivity? In my library, one artist sequence is "ZZ Top" then "Zed" followed by "a-ha". The album titles also have similar examples, such as "BBC" before "Battle" Thanks for such a great contribution.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to list all Albums and Artists in LMS library
Couple of quick suggestions:
This makes the :9000 optional so only needs to be included if using
non-standard port
and --singleartist to enable hiding of duplicate artist names which I
think makes it a bit easier to scan quickly by eye
near the top ...
Code:
parser = ArgumentParser(description="LMS Album Lister",
formatter_class=RawDescriptionHelpFormatter)
parser.add_argument('lmshost', action='store', help='LMS host name (with
optional port, e.g. lmssrv:9000)')
parser.add_argument('outfile', action='store', help='output file')
parser.add_argument('--singleartist', action='store_true', help='Do not print
repeated artist name')
args = parser.parse_args()
parsedlmshost = args.lmshost.partition(':')
if parsedlmshost[2] == '':
args.lmshost = parsedlmshost[0] + ':9000'
url = "http://{}/jsonrpc.js".format( args.lmshost)
further down ...
Code:
lastArtist = ''
for row in albums:
thisArtist = row['artist']
if args.singleartist:
if thisArtist == lastArtist:
thisArtist = ''
else:
lastArtist = thisArtist
albums_flat.append( table_tmpl.format( thisArtist,
row['album'], row['year']))
