Wrong artist info (and double notifications) on the home page.

[Mastermindzh]

When on the "home" page tidal-hifi 2.2.0 will still show the wrong artist info:

As this doesn't happen on the other pages (search, music lists, playlist, etc) this is marked as low priority at the moment as it shouldn't really have a big impact.

PS: Going to any other page in which the artist will be fetched correctly will send out an update to correct the wrong artist name.

Could I pick this and see if I can fix it by the weekend? Unless you've already started on this @Mar0xy

Go ahead and try I haven't bothered trying to find a way to fix the artist stuff I had an idea in mind but didn't try it yet.

@yashank09 any help is welcome 😄

If either of you wants some help feel free to ask!

Sounds good! Let me look over it by the weekend and get back.

Hello, could I please know how to get dev-tools opened up in the app? I tried the most common shortcuts but no luck.

I would definitely need a bit more time on this than compared to you both. But since this is still a low priority, I would love to try it before reassigning.

Hey @yashank09 ,

Sorry I had a busy weekend 😄.
In Electron you have multiple screens and each has its own devtools kit included.
To open the kit you call:

WINDOWNAME.webContents.openDevTools();

You can do this in the app.on('ready'... block for the mainWindow 😄

There are about... 1000 ways to block devtools (even listen.tidal.com can do it) but the electron-code approach works flawlessly.

And don't worry about the time it takes. It's a minor issue that I'm sure most can live with. It's noticeable for sure, but usually you aren't on the home page anyway. (and the workaround is really simple...)

PS: make sure you use a window large enough to show tidal + devtools.
If the window is "too small" certain details disappear (like the album art image) so tidal-hifi can't display them either. Those are completely normal so either use a bigger window size (it remembers it after you change it) or ignore the missing album art ;)

@yashank09

Did you come around to this or would you like me to pick it up myself?

[Mastermindzh]

@yashank09, I fixed the bug myself. It was causing other problems. You can look at this commit to see how I have done it.

So....

Fixed in 2.2.2.

Use your preferred update path and enjoy!
