Mapping CUE SHEETS in database for use in music library mode?

[bubandno]

Hi,
I discover a few day XBMC...fine
exactely what I looking for. I explain :
I used foobar to manage my lossless audio file FLAC, APE, WV PCM : One file (flac, WV, APE or WAV) with cue sheet = one CD

Now I want to use XBMC on my flat TV to listen this file


I use a cuesheet data to manage the track listing, title, album, artist and date.
The import in xbmc is fine... (include art album)
but i feel there is sometime a by pass on the field "DATE" from the cue sheet file.
sometime, the import of the field is Ok, sometime not...

I don't find a fuzzylogic. So where i can found the import rules and mapping or explain to me how to import correctly the date from cuesheet file.
thank

CueDocument.cpp holds the parsing stuff.

Find a CUE that doesn't respond how you think it should, and post it for others to test.

Cheers,
Jonathan

thank awser me.
but I'm not a developper so i'm not sure that the best way for me.

Try posting the CUE file that doesn't work, we might be able to see the problem.

Thank, so here two example of CUE. XBMC ‘s scan and import in music database is is Ok except the year. If the year is in the tag (APE, FALC or WV) XBMC include the year in the database.(so much file to insert the date in tag manually).
So is there a simple way to customize the cue scan and insert database process (without coding cuedocument.cpp) to include the specific field “REM DATE” used by FOOBAR ?

another exemple with a different date per song :

those are currently not parsed, but surely could be.

do a freq trac ticket and attach the cue's

[bubandno]

I have opened a trac ticket with the CUE'S attach.
ref #6736 in feature request

[toolino]

There is already a ticket/patch for that: http://xbmc.org/trac/ticket/5533 :;):

[bubandno]

thank for the patch.
But I've a second Problem : How to use this patch ?
I 've not compiler and tools for this work...And i'm not a...developper ...

[spiff]

well then, you do you expect to be able to use a patch?
sit tight, wait patiently for it to be added to svn.

Great to know this is coming in xbmc 9.10.

Thank you toolino for the patch!! I've recently discovered the amazing xbmc and I really need this feature as my 700 CD collection is all in flac + cue.

Quick question for you though, I've looked at your patch code trying to figure out whether the below would work or not (but couldn't, my programming skills are quite rusty):

1) REM GENRE "Rock Latino"

2) REM GENRE Rock Latino

Note the quotes in 1) and the two-word string. For foobar2k, both work and both are equivalent. Will both work and will both be parsed to the same value ('Rock Latino') into xbmc's library ?

If they don't parse well or if they parse to different GENRE values then I have a problem in my collection :(

[jmarshall]

From a look of the code, it supports both.
