M4B entering ASIN as Id to identify forces chapter matching

[SenorSmartyPants]

I'm using ASIN to identify an M4B during (re)import in my testing. I'm trying ASIN after beets-audible finds the wrong match because of beetbox/beets#4299 . B-A pulls the right data, but then tries to do a chapter match against the single M4B file and the full chapter list. Setting match_chapters: no doesn't change this behavior.

[Neurrone]

The match_chapters setting isn't meant to fix this, because that only controls what happens when the number of files is the same as the number of chapters.

I suspect this is caused by the plugin not triggering its logic to replace the list of returned chapters from Audible (e.g, 20 chapters) to a single chapter, which is the workaround that I've found to allow it to support m4b files with chapter markers.

See how the is_likely_match variable is computed. I suspect you can get this to work by manually setting the author and album names to better match the book you're trying to tag.

[SenorSmartyPants]

I think you are right that part of problem is is_likely_match . The thing about changing author and album name is that I'm trying to re-import beet import -I . an M4B that was already tagged with beets-audible. This M4B has a subtitle. I haven't check the source yet, but I'm assuming album is just compared to album. But B-A should probably join album and subtitle and compare that to the album/title returned.

That way instead of the current comparison of
Born a Crime != Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
it would be
Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood == Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Or perhaps the distance calc needs to be updated to consider subtitle in existing metadata.

[SenorSmartyPants]

This may be another instance of merge candidates. The last candidate is the one being matched. I also checked and I'm running the LSIO night docker image, so I should be using beets github head which I thought might have the fix for this.... but perhaps not.

Yeah, this looks like a problem with merged candidates and I can't think of anything that can be done in this plugin to prevent these sorts of issues till the fix is released upstream.
