hi all

what should i be downloading if i want to fingerprint files and look up MBIDs if they exist, from linux CLI ?

at the moment there's only tunepimp's reference implementation

so i should checkout tunepimp?

yup

ok, cheers

I'm currently playing with tunepimp, perhaps I'll write a curses frontend

i'm hooking it up to a PHP script for when people upload files via web interface

i'm just gonna parse the stdout of the CLI version

its either that or write a PHP extension

uh. good luck then. the interface is a bit, err, strange ;-)

heh, strange i can deal with. provided its always the same amount of strange

:-)

do you know C?

i know enough to be dangerous

mb_client is also a dependency

yeah i've satisfied that one

makes me wish i was running gentoo on my webserver tho ;)

uh-oh

trouble?

yep

failed on make

may i paste some output in here?

sure

make[2]: *** [tp_tagger] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rj/MusicBrainz/tunepimp/examples'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rj/MusicBrainz/tunepimp'

make: *** [all] Error 2

seems there's a -lstdc missing or something

care to elaborate? :)

try: LDFLAGS='-lstdc' ./configure && make

oops, -lstdc++, most probably

yup, the ++ did it

cool

thanks, its installed now

what does that flag mean then?

it links with the C++ standard library

that's needed for all the string operations, lists, maps and stuff

ah, hence the undefined refs to std::stuff

cool. thanks :)

hey! now that the work is almost done ;-)

uh oh. :-)

Guesse aus Hamburg.

Gr��e zur�ck!

At last we're in the same timezone.

And only one off from djce

heh, hi ruaok

rj_: hi!

yup. But it's already too late for me. Got to get up early tomorrow

rj_: 'twas good meeting you in oxford.

night all!

likewise, yalaforge just gave me a hand with tunepimp - i'm starting the web based importer w/ MB support now

excellent.

how was amsterdam?

quite nice. until I got mad sick.

:/

4 days down from the flu sucks.

But I'm over it now.

yuk

back to work then ;)

I have 2 more days of .de/.nl before I head back.

cool

but I have a decent net connection to play with.

And I'm also hoping to meet with Johan in Den Haag on wednesday.

Johan?

He helped me get MB off the ground.

Even wrote some code back in the day, but his PHD and post PHD work has kept him busy.

ahha

I'd like to run the Karma system by him since he has experience with that.

Dr. Johan then

or something like that. :-)

hmm, the tp_tagger has an interactive menu thing..

i was hoping i can do it all thru just parameters so i can easily parse output in php

well, the tp_tagger is nothing more than a test harness.

I certainly hope you're not seriously thinking of using it for real work are you??

i want to write a php class that tries to get a MBID for a given mp3 file

what do you suggest?

can you make C type calls to a library??

do you need to work with more than one file at a time??

i'm not sure, that may involve writing a php extension. it only needs to do an albums worth of files at a time, so not a lot of thruput

basically, someone ftp's an album to a folder then goes to web interface and fixes tags if requred and hits import

i want to write the MBIDs to the database when its imported, and if it doesnt exist in MB, send in the fingerprint and metadata

Hmmm.

just looking up MBID if iit exists is a good start

Yeah, you will want to talk to the tagger natively.

okay, sounds like a php extension is needed

either that or have last.fm hire me to write this code for you. :-)

heh, they cant afford to hire me, let alone anyone else

and i'm cheap :)

LOL

sounds like you want a PHP extension then. :-)

yeah..

fun.

The docs that yalaforge has put together are pretty good.

did he point you at them??

nope

have you ever used doxygen??

yup

good stuff

in the sources there is a tunepimp.doxy file.

That should let you generate the docs from the source.

Should all be up to date.

cunning, thanks

np

Ok, I've got to run.

seeya

My mates want to go out for a beer.

Good talking to you again.

yeah, and you. have a good time :)

I'll post summit recaps and all that when I'm back on the wrong side of the planet.

tahnks
