I just mean that I've got cd sized ones, dvd sized ones, those weird thin tall japanese 8cm cd ones and a few which are bigger than dvds and a right pain in the arse to put anywhere

it seems to be impossible to set a track to unknown length after you’ve set it to a known length.

Yeah, but movies (and DVDs) are much closer to music (and CDs) than books.

The freaking text editor keeps on setting the length of tracks other than the one with which I’m working, in addition to the one with which I’m working.

Form factor?

Books in digital form are much less standardized....
2010-06-01 15251, 2010

In printed form, they tend to have a lot more printings and editions.

I don't see how that makes movies any more suitable for databasification, though.

I think the MB schema could be adapted to movies much more easily than to books.

That’s all.
2010-06-01 15216, 2010

I'm sure that for either movies or books you'd want to create a custom-suited schema, rather than trying to adapt one.
2010-06-01 15206, 2010

Well...if that’s the case then it’s already done: See imdb, goodreads, etc.

Neither have open data. Open Library does, I think, but I haven't tried their new setup and their old one was kind of terrible.

Open in what sense? Open to editing, or providing APIs to retrieve their data?

Licensing and retrieval. IMDB isn't really editable and goodreads just bottles up their data.
2010-06-01 15210, 2010

No, I know imdb isn’t editable; I agree with that one.

And imdb is editable if you sign up and pay iirc.

Anyone know what “Enable vinyl track numbers” does?
2010-06-01 15204, 2010
navap
Maybe it will parse the letter out of track numbers like: a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3
2010-06-01 15226, 2010
hawke_
navap: Maybe. I can’t see that it’s doing anything now.
2010-06-01 15243, 2010

The track numbers seem to be totally ignored in the basic editor.
2010-06-01 15244, 2010
navap
The editor on test is not finished. It's still got plenty of missing features.
2010-06-01 15230, 2010

The track parser options look like they were taken from the options available on the current server.
2010-06-01 15202, 2010

You can put pretty much anything (e.g: “testnum testname” will appear as “1. testname” in the preview.

there's a track parser hidden away in the blue box near the top of the add release page

where you can paste a track list and it'll attempt to figure it out

OK, I guess I see that “Enable vinyl track numbers” allows you to use arbitrary text when entering text numbers in the plain-text editor, but I really don’t see the point, if it doesn’t actually retain whatever you’ve put in for track numbers...
2010-06-01 15244, 2010
nikki
so that it detects them and doesn't leave them in the track name
2010-06-01 15251, 2010
nikki
well, at least, that's what the option is for at the moment
2010-06-01 15255, 2010
hawke_
Why even have the track numbers there, if it doesn’t do anything with them at all?
2010-06-01 15207, 2010
hawke_
It basically treats linebreaks as track entries...
2010-06-01 15243, 2010
nikki
I assume the idea is that it will eventually do everything the track parser does
2010-06-01 15213, 2010

but I don't know for sure. I didn't design any of it
