I built a raspberry pi project which displays my now-playing details on an LCD screen however I noticed this API seems to truncate longer track title names, and if there are multiple artists for a track, only the first artist gets returned. I wasn't able to find where or how in the API code this is happening - is this something I can customize on my end if I'd like to? I admittedly have little/no API experience so may have just not been looking in the right places
Track Titles truncated
Example of track title being cut off:
The full track title should be: "Blow Away - Live at John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia, PA 7/7/89; 2018 Remaster"
As seen in spotify:
However the track title found in the API call is "Blow Away - Live at John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia, PA 7":
{
"volume": 9,
"mute": false,
"equalizer": {
"bass": 3,
"treble": 3,
"loudness": true,
"speechEnhancement": true,
"nightMode": false
},
"currentTrack": {
"artist": "Grateful Dead",
"title": "Blow Away - Live at John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia, PA 7",
"album": "The Best Of The Grateful Dead Live (2018 Remaster)",
So, this track title is missing "/7/89; 2018 Remaster" from the ending
As a result, this is what it looks like when displayed on my screen with the shortened track title:
Only a single artist is returned
If a track has multiple artists, only the first artist name listed is returned in the json:
In this example, two artists should be returned "Charlie Parr, Nicholas David" as seen in Spotify:
However only the first artist is ever returned in the json, in this case "Charlie Parr":
Json returned for this track:
