Enhance metadata from original sources if possible

Open stufisher opened this issue 5 years ago β€’ 1 comments

I've tried to isolate the interaction with other services. Enhanced metadata can be enabled by setting ENHANCE_METADATA=true in your env. Works for currently playing and things in the queue.

Some feedback on this would be useful, there are likely things i dont understand about how album art urls are generated, maybe there is a way to dynamically retrieve the radio art url?

I like the idea to do this, why isn't sonos doing this by itself?

Apart from that, this seems like something that is perfectly testable. Can you create a test for loading the info for some random soundcloud track?

And I see that it’s no longer possible to create a client Id for SoundCloud, but do you really need a separate library just to scrape the client id? A regular expression would be sufficient I guess?

how does this relate to accessing the external music service data directly, like described here
