Does a 'guest' rap seem like a major enough credit to deserve an AC?

Well, a lot of "feat."'s are easily less than that...

hm, good point

I left them as they were for now and just removed the "(feat. ...)" and added ARs.

there's no way to know a barcode of an amazon release page? it's always the other way around?

unless, of course I brute force it :p

there's a thing on nikki's site I think

yeah: http://lmfao.org.uk/asin-barcode

Why is there no wau to make the track parser recognise when artists are lsited before the track names? -.-

well, there's a feature request for it

but it hasn't been written yet is the reason :)

Getting errors during run_replication.sh: http://musicbrainz.paste.to/NDU1NzQ2

whoops, wrong #

ianmcorvidae: wow, it works. thanks ♥

❤

Anyone happen to know if there's any stats on the CAA? I'm interested in finding out what the average file size is.

not on that

there are a number of others

patch to display them hasn't shipped yet but everything we collect is on http://ianmcorvidae.mbsandbox.org/statistics/co...

filesize is on the archive.org side, possibly they have something (but I don't think so)

oh well

I'm trying to decide what size to set for the local FileSystem in my script :P

ianmcorvidae: Did you consider displaying ranges (something like 1,2,3,4,5-10,10-20,30+) instead of going from 1 to 29?

I let users pull in images from remote sites, but I have to store them in a temp HTML5 FileSystem; trying to decide if 50mb is enough, or if that would be too small

navap: I didn't write the stats collection, actually; it could be merged but for now I figured I'd just whip up a quick patch to display everything that we're collecting

brianfreud: file size per image is supposed to be max 15MB; not sure what you're doing, but

if you're grabbing thumbnails those are usually *substantially* smaller

all those stats are actually being collected already, they just aren't displayed anywhere on the site, heh

ianmcorvidae, example: drag images from Discogs over to a drop target on an MB page, then associate those images to MB, then upload them

I have to create a temp store to hold the images locally inbetween

nope, the full image, not just thumbnails - whatever I store is what would be pulled in from remote, then uploaded

presumably you care more about the filesizes of the sources than the actual CAA then

though it's also worth noting that you should be checking for the 15MB limit on the things you're moving, as well

if you do one image at a time, presumably something like 20mb would be enough; probably depends how you implement it

yeah, just trying to decide what max size is enough, without going nuts - 500 mb would be great, but having 500 mb temp files set aside on the fly is slow, not to mention if you have multiple tabs open, each w/500 mb :P

yeah

I'd say ideally

(not knowing in depth the things you're basing this on, so this may be impossible)

you store a URL for the images, and when the user hits "go" or "submit" or whatever triggers the actual upload

here's a screenshot from earlier today

you process them one-at-a-time

then you only need 15mb, theoretically

or from yesterday. Theoretically, all the images on the right could be loaded in from, say, Discogs and Eli.com, rather than being local files: http://i46.tinypic.com/s66naa.png

though, in that pic, they're all locally stored images

Anyone who hasn't noticed, bitmap updated http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/93894 (Expand/collapse release groups) today. REALLY worth an upgrade :)

thanks

I have so many userscripts for MB :/

some are half broken

I don't use every MB script that exists, but the ones I favorite should all work, plus the ones I've written; http://userscripts.org/users/28107/favorites and http://userscripts.org/users/28107/scripts

just added/updated a bunch, thanks :)

np

if you find any of mine are broken, just leave a discussion note and I'll try to fix it :)

that site does nothing :(

huh

i can see that there is an attempt at a terminal there but i can't actually read anything

probably didn't test it in firefox

oh, would make sense for them to not test it in firefox.... "Copyright 2011 Google Inc."

(it breaks for me in chromium, oddly)

it works in Epiphany, other than the lack of filesystem apis.

working in chrome for me

well, I can't load any file in it, and wget doesn't work

but it sure looks pretty.

kepstin, yeah, that's the big complaint about HTML5 FileSystem. It's great for something like I'm doing, where you're putting in and taking out via a browser, esp if you don't actually expose the filesystem to the user. But if you want to use it as just another actual file system, copying in and out from "real" file systems, the security model won't let you.

brianfreud: Why's http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/22615 (auto asin) obsoloted?

Freso, It uses the old Amazon API

murdos' is updated to use the new API, it just does it backwards of how mine did it.

Mine took any barcode on the MB page, got the ASIN from Amazon, and displayed it at MB. His takes the current ASIN from an Amazon page you're on, and looks up/inserts into the Amazon page the barcode for the current page's ASIN.

I think the first one's the most useful though, from an MB editing perspective. As soon as you've added a release with barcode, you'd be notified about a corresponding ASIN.

yeah, it was, imho :)

I just never got around to updating it. And the point really was to get coverart added; now with the CAA, I see much less need for it.

Any chance of you updating yours? >_>

maybe after I finish the CAA script, but it'll need a complete rewrite, not just a minor API change.

it was mason+old Amazon

now that I started uploading cover art, I really need png/pdf support :p

yeah, we've all been asking for it :/

gnu_andrew: Cyprus is not the only one! 8) http://musicbrainz.org/release/4ef7b779-648b-40... (but probably the only catchy one :p)

Hi! Can I get some feedback on both the writing (comments about things you'd change or add in the talk page, please!) and the content (some votes for your preferred options)? http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Reosarevok/Ove...

are releases from malta in the database?

any?

only 21 apparently :(

hey

was voting on this entry

is this correct? or should this recording belong to BIGkids and then a relationship with foster the people could be added (as a work)

http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/acb377e2-a... is a remaster of http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/19dc2439-5... shouldn't they be in the same group?

brianfreud: re http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/118184 (wich is awesome) you should add support for "vs." "feat." "og" and "/" .. also I was thinking, for you said that when it might be a bad idea to have it go (like with "and") but I was thinking, instead of automatically running it whne openign a "split/edit artist" edit page, how about having a button that executes it? likenikki/bitmaps "feat." script? that way if there are "ands" in the name tha

t shouldn't be split and I'm simply opening to fix a "r" or soemthing, i can void wrongly splitting (or in the case of editing artist credits that are already several rtists. it is kinda funky then)

CatCat, re added split-stuff, http://userscripts.org/topics/108524

re it running when you don't want to split, it should be running only on the edit page that's specifically for splitting an artist - http://musicbrainz.org/artist/{mbid}/split. So if you're in "edit artist" - http://musicbrainz.org/artist/{mbid}/edit - or anywhere that isn't */split, it already shouldn't be running?

in the meantime, if you want to add those to your copy, just change line 45 to read: artistArray = $('.ui-autocomplete-input')[0].value.split(/[,|\s&|vs\.|feat\.|\sog\s|\/]\s/),

Huh

So the KoL guys are kickstarting for a game

reosarevok, who?

The kingdom of loathing guys

had to google for that :)

Not a game I'm particularly interested on, tbh, but I was kinda surprised to see them do a not-drawn-with-sticks game

Not that the animations are much more elaborate :)

also an rpg of some kind?

Yeah, and a word game

kind of sad I missed http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/p... kickstarter, though I probably couldn’t of afforder it anyway

wtf

PLEDGED OF $100,000 GOAL ?

yeah :D

Word Realms could be quite fun

It could, but I am not sure
