Freso: ah, that's even nicer!

s/generates/requests/

The native API allows for a lot more data to be submitted with listens that what is possible with scrobbles.

but i tested with lastfm's windows client and it did not send any request to getToken

not sure why

armalcolite: so you have implemented auth.getToken, /api/auth, and auth.getSession?

right.

yup, API is complete

perhaps it's using an internal API, or perhaps an old version of the API

it was working with audacious with the changes that i mentioned in the documentioned

*documentation

alfie: :) The Last.FM API is mostly being developed for legacy applications. We hope that most new applications/plugins/etc. will use the LB API when submitting to LB.

Freso: yeah, i was just wondering if i could quickly redirect my cmus plays while i develop a proper cmus play script

jwheare: RJ2: who should we talk to about the last.fm desktop app? Jonty? Jono?

(so many Js)

neither

armalcolite: do you know wireshark?

yup

I would suggest starting wireshark and seeing what requests it makes

actually i just keep a server running on one laptop and use the client on the other laptop.

use local IP mapping in /etc/hosts of the other PC to access website.

I recommend you use wireshark because we can't be sure what hostname the windows client is using to access the API

if you capture all of the traffic you can look

oh, i was wondering for a solution to this problem.

alastairp: i'll try to find out for you

And you just reminded me of wireshark, seems good.

jwheare: thanks. the question we have currently is if the windows app uses the application auth workflow, or something different

it's open source, but hasn't been maintained there in years, and the last maintainer no longer works there https://github.com/lastfm/lastfm-desktop

since armalcolite don't see the auth.getToken request when he hijacks last.fm with /etc/hosts

armalcolite: ah! ^ source code

so i don't know if the official "scrobbler" is even the same code base

right. it's worth a try

i could not get this to work with ubuntu :(

so i switched to audacious

alfie: I would hold your horses on that though, as I think the LB db will get wiped at the end of the summer as we have improved on our Last.FM importing in a way that's not really compatible with our current Last.FM imports. :/

don't worry about getting it working, just take a look at the source code and see if you can work out what auth flow it uses

just downloaded it from here http://www.last.fm/download/mac and yup it's the same as the latest release (2.1.36) https://github.com/lastfm/lastfm-desktop/releases

10 minutes!

🕙

will there be a notification before the LB db wipe for those of us who have listens that were not imported from last.fm in there?

alastairp, armalcolite: i believe the auth flow is the standard api method https://github.com/lastfm/lastfm-desktop/blob/m...

Mineo: I imagine we'll at least mention it in a meeting before the time as well as on Twitter.

<BANG>

Hello :)

Mineo: somewhere, we said that Alpha == don't expect the contents of the database to stay around forever :)

Oh, damn. You'd promised me you wouldn't be here! D:

But, my battery is about to die. And dinner is about to be served.

J/k. Did you arrive yet?

Yep. Amazing so far.

:)

Convinced the regional bus driver to give us a lift after he got off. :-)

List of people up for reviews: Freso, ruaok, reosarevok, bitmap, Gentlecat, zas, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp, CatQuest, rahulr, QuoraUK, armalcolite, hellska, kartikgupta0909 - let me know if you want on/off!

ruaok: :)

K, I'll leave you to it.

Bai

Freso: Go!

hi

I spent a good chunk of the week getting all the monetary paper work for last month done, as the Google Code-in invoice submission had a deadline on the 15th (this last Friday).

In between that, I also churned out the backlog of meeting notes. Now I just have all the other backlogs to clear…

Did some Discourse updating too and put Gentlecat's blog post live: https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2016/07/12/dataset...

And the regular stuff of being around too.

fin.

ruaok: Go!

1. Worked on biz dev shit and minor invoices stuff. Universal finally paid us some money!

2. I spent quite a bit of time working on the new MB-VM setup. The latest code-base should produce a working VM on linux or on a Mac. Windows not supported. I’d love to get people to try it and see if it works for them: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-vm

3. Next week I will finish/test/integrate the search server docker bits and hopefully release a new VM.

I’m off at Borderland this week, continuing a much needed break.

"""

reosarevok: Go!

Support, plus I got http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-644 added

CallerNo6: 🙋

And more composer clean up stuff

Now looking at the donation/crowdfunding threads which hopefully will see some action tonight :)

Fin

Thanks :)

bitmap!

I finished moving docker templates to m4, about to open a PR

took a while to learn how macros worked there

also moved pgbouncer setup into docker

which isn't quite working yet

getting closer but mbs is huge and there's a lot of missing pieces...

fin

I got back to work after defending my thesis about acousticbrainz

How did it go?

doing some new stuff with datasets and anyone can help us test it

see https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2016/07/12/dataset...

Freso: good

🙌

I continued working on dockerizing python apps: mbspotify, metabrainz website

stuck on SMTP server setup, maybe someone has ideas https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

helped with GSoC stuff

fin

:)

zas!

... Or not.

LordSputnik!

So, this week I was away Thursday to Monday racing electic cars with the university (or trying to). So nothing has gotten done. However, now I'm pretty free :)

:(

So I've just merged QuoraUK's initial PR into the BB master branch, and I'm going to merge the MB OAuth PR tonight as well

And I'm also going to send Gentlecat my CAA dockerfile

fin.

Leo_Verto!

I've been learning how to use Jade, haven't got any actual work done though.

fin.

alastairp!

Gentlecat: PM me an email address and I'll send you the file

s/Jade/React/

lots of reviews, today armalcolite and hellska, last week kartik.

in AB I finished most of the work to cache metadata for recordings in the acousticbrainz db

I started on the part to generate temporary highlevel feature files based on models which are generated through the dataset builder (e.g., Gentlecat's research and our conference paper).

with these new features we'll be able to better evaluate the accuracy of the datasets that we create, in order to better inform ourselves if we want to include them live into the AB database.

🙌

CatQuest!

I've started adding instruments, both ones (now) being assigned to me and trying to take chunks out of the unassigned backlog - thanks to Yvans and CallerNo6 for helping out - but I got sidetracked quite severally because my cat got very sick :(

So I haven't been able to do so many.

I'll pm, pastee? a list of the ones I've added so far to freso, so he can add them in his blogpost thingy.

Question to reosarevok: those I'm not sure about, should I reassign those to you and/or set to "decision required"?, actually should I use "decision required" at all?

uh. fin?

CatQuest: decision required seems reasonable

neat. I'll do that

To separate "not checked" from "checked, not straightforward"

but not to assign these to you?

erh, not to just*

CatQuest: E-mail is by preferred. :)

ah.. ok

+fr

+a

>_>

what?

by far

oh

I read that sentence right and didn't see the error until now

:)

"email is my preference"

or osmething. any way

fin

Sounds great CatQuest!

rahulr!

Yeah. Hi!

CatQuest: not yet I think - I generally just assign when adding the instrument :)
