zas: I'm getting 502 consistently in the beta WS, yet running the beta branch locally the ws works fine
Is something on the server side of things borked?

My plan is to scrape the Big Finish homepage and upload all the releases to Musicbrainz, but the API docs seem a tad lacking about creating new releases and all that, is that intentional?
Doing it all manually would be just too much work.
Another question I have is about an edit staging area, is there a way to create some kind of megaedit instead of creating thousands of edits into the queue?
reosarevok
zarcade_droid: they're not lacking, it's just not a thing
Yeah, that's why I thought about the megaedit and asking here instead of spamming the review queue
akhilesh
Moin!

So that given there's no official API is my only hope to basically emulate a browser doing the edits?
Big Finish has 1805 releases, many having at least five artists, most of them also have an ISBN and everything related. Taking about five minutes per release, it'd take a full week 24/7 to manually correct it all.
CatQuest
that's a lot of work yes.
but. like manual correcting and adding is kinda mb's forte. that's why our data is the quality it is rather than the kind of crap you see on most other "release agregade" sites. other exceptinos are rateyourmusic and discogs
anyway. it would be easier if we got maybe a couple (meaning a few) of people doing this
like a mini-collaboration of them onth things
reosarevok
zarcade_droid: you can absolutely do it so that you have code that seeds the editor and you only check whether it's correct and select the specific artists if needed - that should take around a minute or so
zarcade_droid
reosarevok: how would that look like?
reosarevok
See my link above :)
But unless you have a good way of programmatically selecting the right artist, you'll need to at least do that by hand
how would I seed physical retail ISBN and digital retail ISBNs?
If a release is both a physical one and a digital one then what's the "packaging" and medium format?
CatQuest
those are two different releases in the smae release group
and, sadly we can' store ISBN in mb. but we can in BookBrainz.org
bb is still in beta though
zarcade_droid
Oof, so I have to seed a release group first and then two releases?
CatQuest
when creating the first release the release group can be automatically created, then picked for the second one. for your needs it maybe easier to create the RG first and thne put it inot the release seeding? i don't know how you plan on it
zarcade_droid
I'd avoid any "picking" to be honest.
CatQuest
..
zarcade_droid
And programmatically make sure it's always correct
Gazooo joined the channel
CatQuest
that's... not
I mean you can "pick" by inserting the uuid(mbid) of the entity to be "picked"
zarcade_droid
Mhm
CatQuest
that removes errors with searching and picking wrongly
but you need to "pick" i mena if the entity. say artist of one thing is not in the db already
also oyu have to do a search to make sure the release you're adding isn't already in the db
zarcade_droid
It's easier to merge the few duplicates than it is to make 1805 checks :/
CatQuest
...
this is why we manually add tbh
zarcade_droid
well, noone has for Big Finish properly
CatQuest
our comunity will probably not really like an influx of almost 2000 releases that was "automatically" added
zarcade_droid
and to be fair, you manually add because it's not friendly to mass-addition :P
CatQuest
no, we amunally add because to make sure it's done right and wel land to tryto avoid duplication as is done with mass-addition
zarcade_droid
Big Finish releases haven't been done right...
CatQuest
anyway yo usohuld definitely try to add a couple manually *first* to get accustomed with how forms and stuff look and work
oh?
zarcade_droid
The label name is used as the artist name for quite a few releases even now
and many releases only have one artist even though ~5 is average
and the production code is missing on many
CatQuest
yes, that's definitely wrong. I remember i thikng i moved some DR Who ones anway for mthat and used the authors/narrators as the artist
zarcade_droid
Oh there's those as well
CatQuest
(got bitched at by some editor who works with BigFinish releases wh probably didn't liek me doing it that way)
zarcade_droid
But like, narrators are the artists in audiobooks?
There's the series feature, I have to first create the series then I can add release groups to the series to tie together episodes of the same miniseries for example?
CatQuest
yea. things like that
zarcade_droid
Should I make my edits in the beta environment first and you can say if they're fine to make in the main?
reosarevok
zarcade_droid: beta is the same database. You can use test.
zarcade_droid
I need a new account there :P?
reosarevok
Yes
OR use whatever account really
Password is mb for all
You can use mine if you want, doesn't matter

yvanzo, reosarevok, bitmap : what is the use of a track mbid
i mean every track is associated with a recording and if any query supporting tracks are mapped to recordings
gr0uch0mars: hi
gr0uch0mars
hi amCap1712 You have not updated the PR yet, right?
amCap1712
gr0uch0mars: i think the error is now fixed. i was using the track mbid instead of recording mbid
