ROpdebee's userscripts support thread

MusicBrainz
38

Apologies for the radio silence over the past couple of weeks, I’d mostly been working behind the scenes to make the userscripts and the development process more reliable, and most of that is now done. In the meantime I’ve released a couple of fixes to various userscripts:

  • CAA Dimensions will properly handle queued PDF uploads on add-cover-art pages (thanks chaban!)
  • Collapse Work Attributes should now run on other pages of artist works on all browsers and userscript engines. Previously it worked on ViolentMonkey, but not on TamperMonkey. (thanks Tiske Tisja).
  • The incompatibility between Paste Multiple External Links and louijin’s Wikipedia/Wikidata/VIAF/ISNI script has been fixed on loujin’s side.
  • Enhanced Cover Art Uploads:
    • open.qobuz.com links are now supported.
    • Qobuz goodies are extracted when available.
    • Improved extraction of Tidal covers
    • Optimised extraction of Discogs covers
    • We’ve changed the way we’re seeding covers through URLs (e.g. on a-tisket), which opens up possibilities to address the VGMdb issue of covers hidden behind a login.
    • URL redirects are handled more safely.
      • Redirects in all providers are checked to ensure that we get redirected to the same release as the original URL (think iTunes to Apple Music URLs), if not, the extraction is aborted with an error. You can then choose to use the target URL directly.
      • Redirects in direct image links are still allowed, but will emit a warning and will be indicated in the edit note.
      • Known issues:
        • Those warnings get overwritten in the status banner quite quickly.
        • The redirect error message for providers is very long and leads to bad placement of page elements.
        • Both of these will be fixed by #81
    • Various other small fixes and improvements.

@kellnerd is also currently working on fixing the Amazon provider (#86), which is currently missing some images if there’s more than 4, and also isn’t extracting the highest possible resolution. Those fixes should get automatically released once we merge that PR (like this), thanks to the behind-the-scenes changes. So you can expect plenty more regular updates without waiting on me to decide when a new version should be released :slight_smile:

Edited to add: I could use some additional input on this Apple Music PNG/JPEG issue, if anyone knows something about image compression etc.
