Description
Song Clipboard Plugin – Multiple Artists Option, Encoding Issues, and Copy Delay
Overview
First of all, I’m very happy with the plugin overall great work. However, I’ve encountered several issues and would like to suggest some improvements.
1. Multiple Artists Handling
Previously, the plugin copied only the first (main) artist. Now it includes all artists, which is understandable, but in cases like remixes with three or more artists, the result becomes too long and cluttered.
It would be great to have an option to choose between:
- Main artist only (as it worked before)
- All artists
Giving users the ability to select their preferred behavior would make it much more flexible.
2. Accent / Character Encoding Issues
When a song title or artist name contains accented characters (e.g., Spanish music), the plugin displays corrupted characters.
For example:
├⌐lappears instead ofé
This happens with various accented characters, suggesting a character encoding issue (possibly UTF-8 related) ← (chat gpt suggest)
3. Separator Encoding Issue
Custom separators also display incorrectly unless using the standard hyphen -.
For example:
Pixies ΓÇó Where Is My Mind?
The ΓÇó should actually display as: •
This appears to be another encoding-related problem.
4. Copy Delay After Skipping Songs
There is a noticeable delay when skipping tracks. After pressing skip, the plugin continues copying the previous song for several seconds (approximately 5 seconds) before updating to the new track.
Summary
Suggested improvements:
- Add an option to choose between main artist only or all artists
- Fix character encoding issues (accented characters and special symbols)
- Fix separator encoding
- Reduce or eliminate the delay when updating the copied song after skipping
Thanks again for the great plugin, looking forward to future updates 🚀
