fetchart plugin does not import cover art when import is run with `move` and `quiet` enabled

Open mgoltzsche opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When I import a directory that includes a cover.jpg file into my beets library with both import.move and import.quiet set to true, the cover art is not imported. When I disable move or quiet, it imports the cover art.

(However, when importing the cover art, the fetchart plugin does not use the cover.jpg that exists within the album source directory but fetches it from coverartarchive.org. Correspondingly, the cover.jpg file within the import source directory is not deleted after the import although move is enabled.)

Problem

Imagine I have the import options group_albums, move and quiet enabled and the following file system structure to import from:

  • /data/ytimport/albums/some artist - some album
    • 01 - First Track.opus
    • 02 - Second Track.opus
    • cover.jpg

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv import /data/ytimport/albums

Does not import any cover art. The log shows that the fetchart plugin tries to lookup the cover art within the file system and that it doesn't try the other cover art sources:

$ beet -vv import /data/ytimport/albums/

When I disable any of the import.move or import.quiet configuration options, it imports cover art - from a non-filesystem source, though.

You can get the example data e.g. using the ytimport plugin:

beet ytimport --no-import https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D8YPDdsxYU

Setup

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 host, alpine:3.19 container
  • Python version: 3.12.2
  • beets version: 1.6.0+patches / a recent commit
  • Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): indeed, it imports cover art when I specify --plugins=fetchart

My configuration (output of beet config) is:

    default: Albums/%title{$albumartist}/$album%aunique{}/$track $title

It has nothing to do with move or quite

    group_albums: yes

is the culprit. well not culprit exactly because group albums does not care about folders, it is meant to be used when multiple tracks from different albums is in the same folder, and when you use that you are telling beets to group based on albums and not folder, so any images are ignored in the process. set that to no and it will "move quitely" as expected.

Ah, thanks @Dr-Blank for clarifying that. I misinterpreted the option. Disabling it makes beets import the cover.jpg files properly, indeed.

However, in case of the ytimport plugin, unfortunately the cover.jpg files are still not removed from the import source directory on import, unless import.move is enabled or clutter: ['cover.jpg'] specified within the beets config. The ytimport plugin enables the import.move option temporarily when it invokes the import plugin but the fetchart plugin has read the option already on initialization and therefore ignores the config changes that are applied afterwards.

UPDATE: This is addressed by PR #5244.
