It's an autoedit anyway

If they don't follow it, they should either be fixed, or it's artist intent.

why does picard slow down so much, when you add large number of files to it?

from what i can see all it needs to do is to create a list of files internally

doesnt even need to be a sorted list, as long as you dont cluster it. and even then you can continue to work with the much smaller cluster list

I don't know the internals, but do you have fingerprinting on?

I would imagine it starts fingerprinting files as soon as they're added to it, which means a lot of processes and network traffic it suddenly needs to be aware of.

The same if you have "regular" lookup-on-add enabled too.

that doesnt explain what i see

first couple of hundred files are added fast

and then it slows down

fingerprinting should be equally fast for all files

Like I said, I don't know what the bottlenecks or tipping points are

It could be that file 314 is where some magic internal limit is reached that causes the handling of things to be done differently to not overextert some system resources. It could be a Python interpreter thing.

yeah

:P

Or Numba

Who's willing to bet Paul Stanley's lawyers were involved with this decision? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-01-3...

I wonder why "Artist Name" shows up as the title for the Artist page in the search results. https://musicbrainz.org/search?type=doc&que...

Googling the same thing displays "Artist" as expected

hi. software dev and electrical engineer here. looking to contribute. any ticket list to look at?

wayne: ^

It would be nice to see some kind of a roadmap thingy too.

(linked from http://blog.musicbrainz.org/2015/11/24/recap-of... )

wayne, I started making an overview of what technologies are used where within the MetaBrainz projects. Maybe it'll help you get oriented? If not, maybe somebody else wants to jump in and improve it?

I'm not a dev but I often heard in chat about haskell, isn't there something coded in that language too CallerNo6 ?

Lotheric, I remember ocharles was working on a next gen editing system in haskell. And iirc also the original iteration of bookbrainz.

ah that must be it

If haskell is actually in use, I don't know about it. But then, not knowing things is in my job description.

lol

I had some better notes on what bb uses, but they seem to have been lost. Maybe Leftmost wants to remind me when he's around.

Or I could <shudder> look at github I guess.

Lotheric: AFAIK, we don't have any active projects in Haskell (or, maybe there's one tiny one?). BB is currently part Python, part Node.js, but moving towards being entirely Node.js.

I think we have a tiny bit

Something CAA related?

dunno if it's still in use

Since https://github.com/metabrainz/caa-indexer exists too

Er. That might be the same :p

But github claims that's all perl

we still use the perl one in production

So I guess it's not used anymore? :p

caa-admin and musicbrainz-email are the only haskell projects I'm aware of

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Development doesn't link to python-musicbrainzngs - is that an "oops" or an "I meant to do that"?

maybe that's more an MeB question.

'ello. I searched the forum and have retried a few times, but the FTP site for downloads appears to be down or unresponsive. Thought I'd alert y'all.

muraii: Are you using US or EU FTP?

US. Got a server response that I didn't have access to the EU mirror.

It's possibly my ISP (Verizon cellular data). I have to use znc or the Chrome extension CIRC to do IRC, for instance. Maybe Verizon clobbers some FTP stuff.

zas ruaok: ^

I think this is actually the case, i.e., that I can't get to ftp sites. Please excuse; should've checked that first.

:)

I get the 220 and then, at least with ftp.musicbrainz.org, a 421. Same with ftp.slackware.com. Oh well.

Is there another means of downloading Picard?

You could try the daily builds? (I'm assuming you're on Windows.)

OS X. But I'll give it a shot.

Danke.
