leave the label/ barcode as a caption to the image
2012-10-03 27704, 2012
kepstin-laptop
hmm, lang/script is important at least so you can check if they're present and correct
2012-10-03 27711, 2012
hawke_1
for editors, yes. ;-)
2012-10-03 27729, 2012
hawke_1
maybe make it a mouseover on the label/catno/barcode
2012-10-03 27753, 2012
kepstin-laptop
at some point when I was making that, I got distracted looking for a tool to generate barcode graphics automatically :)
2012-10-03 27705, 2012
hawke_1
why would you want to do that? ;-)
2012-10-03 27714, 2012
hawke_1
barcodes are obtuse and annoying.
2012-10-03 27730, 2012
kepstin-laptop
but they looks pretty ;)
2012-10-03 27732, 2012
hawke_1
(I work with them a lot in my job, so I know this well)
2012-10-03 27744, 2012
hawke_1
…pretty ugly. :-)
2012-10-03 27751, 2012
kepstin-laptop
heh
2012-10-03 27725, 2012
kepstin-laptop
could stick a qr code on each page that loads the entity into the musicbrainz android app :)
2012-10-03 27726, 2012
hawke_1
Anyway, just saying what I would drop to make it look nicer.
2012-10-03 27731, 2012
hawke_1
That would be sexy.
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
kepstin-laptop has no idea how to do that, but w/e.
2012-10-03 27753, 2012
hawke_1
though the idea of putting a QR code on a webpage so you can…look up info from the web… kind of appalls me.
2012-10-03 27715, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah, that'd make sense if we had a tagger
2012-10-03 27717, 2012
kepstin-laptop
the qr code is simply so you don't have to re-do the search or manually type in an mbid
2012-10-03 27718, 2012
reosarevok
(app)
2012-10-03 27737, 2012
hawke_1
I know why, it just …wow, how silly. :-)
2012-10-03 27702, 2012
reosarevok
QR codes as "tagger buttons" for an android tagger would be kinda sexy
2012-10-03 27705, 2012
Freso
I better go to bed. Job interview, Part 2 in ~11 hours.
2012-10-03 27709, 2012
Freso
Goodnight people!
2012-10-03 27715, 2012
reosarevok
Goodnight and good luck!
2012-10-03 27757, 2012
reosarevok
But without that it's just "I want to see this same content in my phone"
2012-10-03 27701, 2012
reosarevok
Which doesn't make a lot of sense
2012-10-03 27705, 2012
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: well, there's currently no better way of doing "i want to see this same content on my phone"
2012-10-03 27721, 2012
reosarevok
But why would you, unless the phone gave some benefit over the site?
2012-10-03 27723, 2012
kepstin-laptop
you could email yourself a link, I suppose...
2012-10-03 27735, 2012
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: i can carry a phone around with me?
2012-10-03 27708, 2012
kepstin-laptop doesn't actually have a smartphone :)
2012-10-03 27723, 2012
reosarevok
Sure, but you need to be in front of the computer to check the qrcode to begin with
2012-10-03 27733, 2012
reosarevok
So why not just check whatever you want there instead?
2012-10-03 27707, 2012
reosarevok
I mean, I can see a quite farfetched case where you want to show something to someone who doesn't have internet and yet you're too lazy to use search when you're there and prefer to load it at home
2012-10-03 27708, 2012
reosarevok
But...
2012-10-03 27730, 2012
reosarevok
(but yeah, if we had a tagger app, then totally)
2012-10-03 27759, 2012
kepstin-laptop wonders how a tagger app on a phone would even work
2012-10-03 27710, 2012
reosarevok
Same as anywhere else I guess?
2012-10-03 27719, 2012
reosarevok
I mean, you have audio files in an SD card, so...
2012-10-03 27720, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I could see it on an android phone where it could just get fs access and update tags
2012-10-03 27734, 2012
kepstin-laptop
but it makes no sense on an iphone, of course.
2012-10-03 27749, 2012
reosarevok
I said a phone, not an expensive brick :)
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
kepstin-laptop
heh
2012-10-03 27741, 2012
reosarevok
iPhone uses iTunes for all that shit and then doesn't let you touch anything, I assume?
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
reosarevok
(that'd be what I'd expect from Apple nowadays)
2012-10-03 27702, 2012
reosarevok
(and to think there was a time when they were kinda open-ish)
2012-10-03 27741, 2012
reosarevok fixes yet more wiki redirects
2012-10-03 27711, 2012
reosarevok
Anyway, kepstin-laptop: I'd say it'd make sense to concentrate on showing the stuff we have better
2012-10-03 27719, 2012
kepstin-laptop
yeah
2012-10-03 27722, 2012
reosarevok
(especially streaming music, I'd say)
2012-10-03 27723, 2012
reosarevok
(A Videos tab that shows all videos for an artist...)
2012-10-03 27704, 2012
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: hmm, that would be interesting; and a bit of a tricky query with our data model :)
2012-10-03 27724, 2012
kepstin-laptop
ars to streaming video from recordings with the artist in the recording credit?
2012-10-03 27732, 2012
reosarevok
Probably, yes
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
kepstin-laptop
be a bit silly for classical, of course.
2012-10-03 27715, 2012
reosarevok
Was thinking that too, yes - although hey, I'm sure some people would want videos by some of these youtube classical stars
2012-10-03 27734, 2012
reosarevok
Problem is that showing them for composers would be a bit silly for everything else :/
2012-10-03 27708, 2012
kepstin-laptop
doesn't the current csg work in progress want both composers and prominent performers in the ac?
2012-10-03 27715, 2012
reosarevok
Nope
2012-10-03 27720, 2012
reosarevok
Just performers on recording AC
2012-10-03 27736, 2012
kepstin-laptop
well, I'm thinking recording ac in this case.
2012-10-03 27751, 2012
kepstin-laptop
which would mean that they wouldn't be shown on the composer page.
2012-10-03 27754, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah
2012-10-03 27703, 2012
reosarevok
Of course, they could show on the *work* page...
2012-10-03 27728, 2012
reosarevok
(likely I don't want "anything by Beethoven" but "this sonata by Beethoven")
2012-10-03 27734, 2012
reosarevok
But dunno
2012-10-03 27743, 2012
reosarevok
Although, of course, I might very well want "anything by Urmas Sisask"
2012-10-03 27759, 2012
reosarevok
(or any other small composer I might be checking out for the first time out of curiosity)
2012-10-03 27725, 2012
kepstin-laptop
if you go to the page for some work, you could indicate which recordings have streams available, i suppose.
2012-10-03 27741, 2012
reosarevok
Implement genres, if something is tagged as art music, show videos for composer :p
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
reosarevok
(yeah, that means "maybe get it in 2016")
2012-10-03 27722, 2012
reosarevok
How to get actual video support in MB would be a start, too...
2012-10-03 27728, 2012
reosarevok
*thinking about
2012-10-03 27742, 2012
kepstin-laptop
well, we have the streaming [video] links
2012-10-03 27751, 2012
kepstin-laptop
trivial to e.g. embed youtube given that link
2012-10-03 27713, 2012
reosarevok
Sure
2012-10-03 27724, 2012
kepstin-laptop
(i looked this up a while back; the video url for all major sites has enough info to generate a video embed for that video)
2012-10-03 27737, 2012
reosarevok
I meant more like actually have a "video" section and maybe a "video" flag for recordings
2012-10-03 27756, 2012
reosarevok
(which would also reply to people who ask "if an iTunes release has x videos in the end, do we add them")
2012-10-03 27711, 2012
hawke_1
Why not just follow composer→work→recording→streaming video?
2012-10-03 27732, 2012
kepstin-laptop
yeah, some way to indicate whether a recording is video or not would be nice.
2012-10-03 27742, 2012
reosarevok
hawke_1: for what? Displaying videos for a composer?
2012-10-03 27749, 2012
hawke_1
Is that not what was being suggested?
2012-10-03 27755, 2012
reosarevok
Because I imagine most people don't want videos for some pop song composed by some random guy
I just picked the first classical video in my youtube subscriptions :)
2012-10-03 27714, 2012
reosarevok
I just picked the only classical channel which is fully in MB (afaik)
2012-10-03 27749, 2012
reosarevok
In case someone wanted existing, CSG-following examples
2012-10-03 27754, 2012
kepstin-laptop
it would be nice if I could get more of the stuff off that cbc music channel in, there's a bunch of good things on there.
2012-10-03 27712, 2012
reosarevok
We need a youtube importer or something
2012-10-03 27718, 2012
reosarevok
Adding all info by hand is annoying
2012-10-03 27752, 2012
kepstin-laptop
given that youtube videos have exactly two metadata fields - 'title' and 'description', that would not be easy.
2012-10-03 27709, 2012
kepstin-laptop
of course, any particular channel might use a structure in their titles...
2012-10-03 27713, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah
2012-10-03 27745, 2012
reosarevok
But you know, auto-entering "video" as disambiguation and the duration, seeding the URL to the edit note field (and maybe to the clipboard) saves a while already
2012-10-03 27748, 2012
reosarevok
(and auto-opening the add standalone recording tab, of course9
2012-10-03 27700, 2012
reosarevok
Put the title on the title field, and let the user deal with the rest
