:/

I tried compiling epiphany a few weeks ago, but it just crashes on OSX :/

yeah, I haven't heard of anyone running current versions of epiphany on anything other than linux

and then I installed it on my linux machine and found out it apparently doesn't have a JS console anyway...

it does, in the web inspector

oh, I couldn't figure out how to open it

hmm. looks like they dropped the option to enable it in the ui now.

in mine, I can just right-click anywhere and "inspect element"

cool, I'll have to see if mine does that

(version 3.2.x)

"TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'MB.text.RemoveLinkedEntity["artist"]')" - hmm.

that's in one of the obfuscated musicbrainz javascript files.

i have libofa, libdiscid, and ffmpeg installed, but picard isn't finding them...

epiphany 3.2.x can use any webkit-gtk from the 1.6 and 1.7 lines.

(epiphany's just a fairly simple wrapper around webkit-gtk, adds toolbars, history, and bookmarks :)

i'm running 0.16 from the tarball on linux

what commands are you using to run it?

you should run "python setup.py config" and then "python setup.py build_ext -i" first

python setup.py config, python setup build_ext -i , python setup build_locales -i

then python tagger.py

do i need libofa0-dev, too?

you might need -dev packages installed depending on what distro you're using

yes

heh

bitmap: thanks

np :)

ok, python setup.py config found libofa...

that's a drama cd that happens to have a couple full songs on it as well.

(only tracks 2, 14)

the credited artist does happen to be the main character of the dramas, but...

hmm.

bah, I can't do direct search for works in the inline search boxes for some reason

it shows "(undefined)" in the popup, instead of letting me choose to do a direct search

(when nothing is found)

and even if it finds something, no option to do a direct search is shown

huh. so it's just epiphany.

weird

the 'release duplicates' page should really let you search for the release manually :/

ARGH

Do people not read artist comments?

s

hah

potentially there's somewhere that the comment should be shown that it isn't?

I doubt it

I think they just don't mind

Specially if anything sounds barely Spanish

"ooooh, this says Spanish" -> set

heh, yup

oh, incidentally, I've modified the timeline graph stuff in such a way that it's now (well, after it's merged and released) possible to add whatever lines you want to the main graph

(or to the single graphs, which I still made work, but)

so soon it should be possible to generate really unuseful timelines!

(I haven't hooked that all into the URL system to make them linkable though, so :P)

I want a graph of the evolution of the number of Micronesian artists! :D

Of FEMALE Micronesian artists!

I think that graph is currently "0 since we started collecting data"

well, doing intersections of statistics isn't possible, but :P

Aww

It should!

well, I mean

the data collection just isn't happening to make that possible

we'd have to specifically collect every possible intersection

:(

which would be a bit problematic :P

Anyone have a few SATA cables and some thermal compound I can borrow? :P

hah

Don't make explosives!

I have neither that aren't being used, not that I could get them to you anyway ;)

also, 'borrow' thermal compound

reosarevok, less interested in making explosives and more interested in making my server.

since it's totally reusable :P

ianmcorvidae, yep! Just scrape it off with a knife and plop it on the next one. :P

sounds like a great way to break a computer :P

Maaaaaan

Can we bar newbies from entering VA releases?

:(

Anyhow, it's clear that by "borrow" I mean that I would like to use a portion of it sufficient for a single computer and return the rest. :P

yeah, lol

man, I need to find less obscure singles from old robot cartoons to fix up

kepstin, want to fix stuff up?

reosarevok, I occasionally find myself wishing to bar some people from editing anything.

Go splitting! :p

I would vote no, but the guy has 20 edits, so I'm assuming good faith

someone left a transliterated tracklist of something I didn't recognize on an artist that I know fairly well... so I've tracked it down to actually be this: http://joshinweb.jp/dp/4988003240486.html

Hmm, I guess it would be easier to just fix the tracklist + tracks

14 less days

Can I get opinions on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15652228 ?

Depends

:p

reosarevok, either.

Oh

Ok

Leftmost, is this following cover?

kepstin, I envy you

hm, front and back cover apparently don't have credits

must be in a booklet

reosarevok, to the extent possible, yes. The obi lists artists only for tracks with vocalists, and only vocalists in those cases. The booklet lists vocalist and composer, but lists vocalist first and, when it lists only composer, always fronts NAMCO instead of the compoesr.

s/es/se/

ianmcorvidae, first page of the booklet, and on the obi.

Wow

That's a feat

Magic Japanese music database has vocalists where they exist, nothing where they don't: http://www.minc.gr.jp/minc-bin/cat_lst1?CAT1=CO...

(Columbia's site does the same, for reference.)

yeah, it's odd how they do that.

Aww :(

I want a Magic Spanish database!

Clearly you should create one. http://musicbrainz.org

:p

Yeah

And take the ISRCs from where? :(

I don't know. I don't really understand ISRCs.

They're standards

Standards are good!

Leftmost: well, I think you're right based on what was said here; we'll see if further discussion happens

(even when done averagely - like in this case)

Alright. Cheers.

At some point, I'll start mucking with recordings. First, though, I have to get all of my releases entered.

heh

you should probably wait until we have a working cover art archive first

I mean

I said it as "this thing should come at some point and stuff"

"And should make it easier"

wow

ISRCs are coming to MB like crazy now

:)
