Discourse MusicBrainz Onebox


Features

This plugin adds Onebox support for MusicBrainz.org to Discourse. Use it to quickly display information about artists, releases, labels and more.

All the primary MusicBrainz entity types (e.g. artists, releases and labels) and most of the secondary ones are supported. There is a showcase of the oneboxes generated by this plugin over at the MusicBrainz community:

Configuration

You can configure the MusicBrainz oneboxes in the Discourse admin interface. The following options are available:

musicbrainz load caa images: Enable, to load images for releases and release groups from Cover Art Archive. Default: enabled.

musicbrainz load wikimedia images: Enable, to load images from Wikimedia Commons. This requires the MusicBrainz entity to either have a link to an image on Wikimedia or have a Wikidata entry. Default: enabled.

musicbrainz load other images: Enable, to load images from other sources. This requires the MusicBrainz entity to link to an external image with a URL relationship. This is currently mainly used
by label logos and for some instruments. Default: enabled.

musicbrainz show wikipedia link: Show a link to the item’s Wikipedia page. This requires the MusicBrainz entity to be linked to Wikidata. Default: enabled.

musicbrainz genre limit: If a onebox shows the genres associated with the linked MusicBrainz entity, this setting limits the number of genres shown. Default: 5.
