anyway, ocharles, chrisdone's scrobble-server thing does seem like it could be a reasonable start if we figure out where our track IDs go in tags and I can coerce mpdscribble to use that insetad of a recording ID
ocharles
ok, no [error]s in lolo's log for the last 30 minutes or so and asterix is completely out
kuno
ianmcorvidae: hacks
ocharles
think we're good there!
kuno
ianmcorvidae: but pump.io is pretty nice to develop clients for once you get past the OAuth stuff.
ianmcorvidae
ocharles: sweet :D
kuno: well, can't possibly be as bad as last.fm's quasi-oauth that nobody ever uses (since the legacy protocol is better), at least :P
heh, I have no idea how I would use an alternative thing to scrobble to
ianmcorvidae
what player do you use anyway?
nikki
cog
and a version of the last.fm scrobbler which attempts to convince me to upgrade it every time I start it
ianmcorvidae
well, it looks like at the very least the chrisdone thing ollie was mentioning can figure it out when you just proxy
though the official lastfm scrobbler possibly uses their weird quasi-oauth second-gen API that nobody else bothers with
kepstin-laptop
most open-source players have made it possible to switch the domain that the scrobble api connects to; but you can make any player use an alternate by simply making the last.fm api domain go to a different box by editing your hosts file.
ianmcorvidae
whoo, freedb.mb now post-schema-change
now to catch it up on three months of replication packets
kuno
ianmcorvidae: that's probably an issue with music player daemon, perhaps it is now fixed.
ianmcorvidae
kuno: which one, the transliteration?
kuno: that has to do with the fact MPD scrobbles the recording ID and last.fm has the wrong name stored
kepstin-laptop
the transliteration is probably because you have the 'fix my tags' option enabled on last.fm

if you turn that off, it should unfix your tags
kuno
ianmcorvidae: not being able to get an MBID out of .m4a files.
ianmcorvidae
oh, do they have an actual option now
kuno: oh, yeah
kepstin-laptop
ianmcorvidae: huh, it's two separate options now. There's "translate artist names" and "auto-correct spelling" and you want to disable both :)
ianmcorvidae
yeah; only the auto-correct one was on
we'll see if it works after this scrobble
kepstin-laptop
my last.fm history has some horrible misencoded messes thanks to an accident with my ipod scrobbler :(
interpreted utf-8 as latin1 one time when I was submitting a backlog
ianmcorvidae
heh, nope, didn't fix it
it's the MBID thing, I suspect
ianmcorvidae switches to weekly replication packets, this is the first chance I've had to actually test them properly :D
kepstin-laptop
hmm, the mbid stuff should only be turned on if auto-correct is enabled
maybe give it an hour or two to propagate the setting ;)
ianmcorvidae
yeah, possibly
heh, 808451 rows in dbmirror_pending
kepstin-laptop
so, no decision on how to store track mbids in files yet? :)
ianmcorvidae
not that I've seen
kepstin-laptop
right, so MUSICBRAINZ_ELEPHANTID it is, right? ;)
kepstin-laptop heads out
ianmcorvidae
'course I was always fine with "the current tag is broken anyway, so let's call track IDs track IDs and recording IDs recording IDs", but I guess others aren't :P
kepstin-laptop would want to scrobble real track ids anyways rather than recording ids.
kepstin-laptop
since track ids have a superset of the info of recording ids :)
ianmcorvidae
yeah, exactly
I mean, there's an argument for "people who consume MBIDs should resolve their type themselves" but that's maybe not something we can impose :P
kepstin-laptop
would be helpful if we had a webservice that let you resolve the type of an arbitrary mbid :)
ianmcorvidae
(certainly not without a non-internal webservice for that)

ocharles: assuming you're still up, I'm getting lots of emails failing to send to logster [at asterix]
ocharles: I assume this is related to something you're doing, so in case you aren't aware
