Why only mp3/mp4/ogg/flac/asf in Plex Music Scanner?

Looking much further into the problem I listed here, I found the Plex Music Scanner.py, and dug through the other python files, and it raises a question.  Why is this script so limited when it relies partially on mutagen to read files and parse tags?

 

On a related note, I've modified this python script to read my WavPack files that I complained about earlier (note: one of the problems is actually an omission in AudioFiles), and have it read my tags.  Would anyone be interested in my modified version of this script?  Given this is a developers forum, I'd assume you can read and write python, which makes my modifications stupidly trivial, but I'm offering it up in the event you can't.

Hi. I have the same question about wavepack. Can you please share your changes of the python script? If possible, in form of changed lines, so if the file is changed by Plex team, it will be possilbe to inject only relevant changes from your version.

Is it more than just

from mutagen.apev2 import APEv2

elif filename.lower().endswith(“wv”):

try:

tag = APEv2(filename)

except:

return (None, None, None, None, None, None, None)
