Preview Build Discussion / SMTC not using album artist
« on: January 19, 2024, 10:45:58 AM »
Hello there!!
I recently was suggested to check out Wacup, after struggling with getting this SMTC plugin: https://github.com/NanMetal/gen_smtc to work properly with Winamp. The problem with this first plugin was that it apparently used the artist info in place of the AlbumArtist. I figured out the pieces of code I had to edit/add to change it, but I'm not that tech savvy, so I didn't quite know how to compile the raw code back into a plugin.
I was super happy to see Wacup came with build-in SMTC capabilities. However when I tried using it, I ran into the same issue. The AlbumArtist was using the same value as Artist. Because I don't have access to the raw code this time, I can't check if this plugin has the same quirk as the original Winamp plugin I used. If it does, I'd be very thankful if this could be changed!!
For some context, a lot of songs I listen to are from albums that have a variety of artists working on under the same album artist group name. Hence why I'd prefer to be able to display the Album Artist.
Thank you very much in advance!!
