when i play a stream radio with ncmpcpp it displays only the title
here is a screenshot
screenshot_2017-09-19_09-26-40
above center is polybar with mpd
and bottom left is conky, conky ignores artist if unavailable but polybar doesnt,
polybar displays untitled artist, what i was wondering is could polybar ignore artist if unavailable
like conky.

This is currently not possible with polybar, if the artist is empty it falls back to "untitled artist".

We could add options for the user to specify what text is used as fallback if the artist, album or title are unavailable. Though, if you set the fallback to an empty string the %artist% token is replaced with an empty string and your bar would still show - Finish What Ya Started - Van Halen which doesn't look that good either (notice the dash at the beginning). There is no sensible way to also remove that dash.

how do you set the fallback

You can't right now, that would be something we would have to implement first.

Is there a way to force an %artist% using tags or something like EXTINF in ncmpcpp or mpd/mopidy? That would be a nice workaround...

Hi!

Maybe having something like a kind of jinja could be cool:

label-song = <% if artist is not null %>%artist% - <% endif %>%title%

Any new workaround to do this?
