I was looking at my recs. I mostly listened to indian artists. In the last week, I listed to a few songs of. Tame Impala. I see that the first page of my top artists playlist is filled with tame Impala songs, meaning these recordings have highest score, as I move to the second, third page of the top artist playlist, I see artists more evenly distributed and more indian artists. A few users have commented on the
community post, this also has troubled me for quite some time, the playlist (especially the first page) being centred around a few artists. One is reason I can think of is, LB has a few users who listened to indian songs, so maybe my similar user (based on user-user similarity) is purely based on English songs. That's is why all the song of tame Impala have highest score even though I don't listen to them so
frequently.
Just a finding, I thought it will good to share with you given you are working on a part of recs now :)
_lucifer
yeah, sure. thanks for sharing
the easiest way here seems to limit the number of recordings from an artist on the first page
shivam-kapila should check his recs
but that is probably a work for troi
pristine___
_lucifer: exactly, I have discussed about this with ruaok
We haven't reached on any conclusion though
It really looks odd when the first page is centered around only one artist, I guess most of us don't move to the next page.
_lucifer: not very critical to solve rn, but a good to have thing.
_lucifer
That's true, most won't go to the next oage
yeah, for now the page says tracks you might like so it not very important but when these tracks become a playlist then it'll be
Most probably the artists, recordings aren't in the mapping except Coldplay, that is why you have only one artist in the playlist
Did you read the community post shivam-kapila ? I am sure it will clear your doubts regarding the nature of playlist, if not let me know, I will add in there, will be helpful for other users too :)

_lucifer: I was thinking to apply `random` on the recs list and then show on site.
shivam-kapila
pristine___: thx. Will do
> _lucifer: I was thinking to apply `random` on the recs list and then show on site.
Doesnt sound right. Each time I press next and then previous the recs change
But this isnt ideal imo
pristine___
shivam-kapila: do random before showing them on site, and not while you show them on site
Is what I mean
shivam-kapila
What if I reload
_lucifer
pristine___: could be a good idea
shivam-kapila: i think the idea is to randomize in spark instead of sorting on score so the results seen by the user will be consistent
shivam-kapila
Then we shouldnt show score then
As there wont be a reasonable pattern
_lucifer
yes right
pristine___: is there any way to see the current queue of requests in request consumer?
Mr_Monkey
Moin!

That _lucifer :)
_lucifer: iliekcomputers would know, I have no idea on that :(
_lucifer
np, i have the mapping placed at the right place but i know need to upload it to hdfs somehow
pristine___
Just use the command in spark_manage
I linked yesterday.
_lucifer
yeah, i am using that but it is not working due to some disk space issues. i'll free up some space and do that
LB-729: Scrobble tracks streamed on ListenBrainz website
Mr_Monkey
Yeah, that's been on the list for a while, hasn't it?
Shouldn't be too difficult, especially if we don't have to transform the listens in question in any way.
But I can see the increase in priority now that we have recs
In your opinion, should the listen be sent by BrainzPlayer as soon as it starts playing, or do we want to wait an arbitrary amount of time before sending it?
Something like 10 seconds?
shivam-kapila
It can be set like vlc plugin
Half of track duration
Or 4 min iirc

Mr_Monkey: arbitrary amount of time.
imo
Mr_Monkey
I think Spotify considers a song listened to after 30sec, for reference
