Using Kodi 18.5 on Corelect 9.2.1.
I've read on the Wiki the section for musicextension and it should be possible, at least for the begin (need a month and a spare HDD to change the tag way on the actual library), to exclude .flac files from library indexing and force only a .cue reading for tags .
So i added on the advancedsettings.xml the lines
<musicextensions>
<add>.cue</add>
<remove>.flac|.wav</remove>
</musicextensions>
placed the file in the userdata folder, cancelled the old library, reboot, rescan... and no effect. Files are indexed not looking at the cue but only at the audio file tags.
I'm using as a test drive a thumbdrive with three album:
one that has the correct tags ONLY in the cue, so if it loads the tags from the separate tracks it's very clear that the cue isn't parsed
one that is a cue+single big file (that doesn't show the folder.jpg cover too)
one that is a compilation album in which the cue has the correct album infos and the single tracks have their original-album-sourced infos.
I have read on the forum that the music scraping has been changed a lot from v17 to v18, but the wiki is basically v17. Better to wait for updates in the wiki, or some suggestion?
