[FEATURE] - Updates Beets to 1.6.1 in Lidarr scripts

[Intrinsically-Sublime]

Beets development seems to have stopped some 3 years ago but there is a 1.6.1 branch that has a lot of updates, bug fixes, and new features. I am interested because I use the LRCLIB update to inject synchronised lyrics into the files rather than just plain text. It also provides more fields and data providers. Please see the change log

https://docs.beets.io/en/latest/changelog.html

The bad news is that it is not available via pip (or at least not that I can see) so you would have to include it through another means. It is available in the linuxserver docker nightly https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-beets/tree/nightly

If I understood how docker files worked I would try and make it work but that is over my head at the moment.

I don't think its true that the docker build uses the 1.6.1 dev version. I'm guessing you did a google search for something like: "beets 1.6.1". It looks like it picks up 1.6.1 from the mp3gain package:

It looks like there hasn't been a release in awhile, but it is being actively developed.

I am running the nightly one from Linuxserver separately and it is 1.6.1

docker exec -it beets beet version beets version 1.6.1 Python version 3.11.8

Edit: the pip one is 1.6.0 for sure.

Ah, I understand, my apologies! Look towards the bottom of this discussion. Looks like a new release is imminent.

@Intrinsically-Sublime Soon... 👀

[hockeygoalie35]

Looks like Beets 2.0 has been released! I'm also intrested in using LRCLIB...I'll dig into it!

@RandomNinjaAtk , would it be as simple as adding:

To beets-config.yaml

lyrics:
    auto: yes
    sources: lrclib genius tekstowo
    synced: yes

to setup.bash, add beautifulsoup4 to the pip install?

I can confirm that it worked! I made a fork with this setup (plus updating beets-config-lidarr.yaml), and it appears to download the .lrc and also embed the contents in the flac itself. Pushing a PR to implement.

.lrc files included

Embeded in tags

Just for kicks, here it is in Plexamp

Any chance you can show me how to do this on my existing library? This only works going forward, of course.

[Intrinsically-Sublime]

@hockeygoalie35 I think you need to set the force flag to yes and then process the entire library https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/lyrics.html I imported my entire library using the newer version.

@Intrinsically-Sublime I think we're good here, it should be working as expected. Mind closing the issue?
