Title: Track Info Plugin - "Album Artist"
Post by: lohma004 on July 24, 2018, 11:08:48 am: Hey, I'm trying to create (or modify) a display track info plugin that will show the tag for "Album Artist." Can't seem to figure out how to do this as this seems not to be a regular ID3 tag. Any ideas?

If there is no ID3 tag for "Album Artist," how do I work around this?
Thanks.

Post by: lohma004 on September 28, 2018, 05:48:37 pm: Need some help modifying a Track Info Plugin:
For instance:I'm trying to modify the "Simple" track info plugin.

Currently it lists the "Title" on the first line
The "Artist" on the second line.
I am trying to add another line that will pull up the "Album Artist" tag.
I added a line that reads: TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUMARTIST
When I try to do this, it puts in the name of the album and then the word "Artist." It does not pull up the tag for the "Album Artist"

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Album Artist is an ID3v2.3 called TPE2

So I've tried a bunch of scripts with TPE2 for Album Artist, but I'm still having no luck.

Tried: TRACKINFO_INSERT_TITLE
TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUMARTIST

If I change out TPE2 and Album Artist (I've used them in a number of combinations) it just prints that text on the screen.

Help?
Thanks.

Post by: krmasson on January 23, 2019, 02:56:40 pm: Stupid suggestion, have you tried something like
"TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUMARTIST"
or
(TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUMARTIST)
to try to keep Album and Artist together?

I have no idea of the context, do not know when the macro trackinfo... is expanded, so this could be a perfectly stupid idea. Just in case.
