minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•4 months agoDoes it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•4 months agoI don’t bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.
minus-square@Zachariahlink9•4 months agoIt’s very automatic with just pointing it at the media’s URL, but also highly configurable if you want.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•4 months agoUnless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don’t, you can just download from another user.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•4 months agoSoulseek. Added to my notes. Will check it out, thanks

minus-squareKallioapinalinkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoDoes it work anymore? I’ve been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoI’ve been using it recently without many issues
minus-squareKallioapinalinkfedilinkEnglish0•4 months agoHuh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I’ll give it another go in the future.
