sure?

sure what?

I use keep me logged in too and seems to stay logged in but userscripts tell me otherwise, then I quit beta and rejoin beta and try my script again and it works

Some Bandcamp releases give the UPC in the description text. (Even, in one case, when the physical release had no barcode at all.: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/21d0cbe9-...)

sure, I use scripts

haven't changed anything in my setup for a long time

crism: that's done by the Bandcamp importer ;) https://community.metabrainz.org/t/454077/12

chaban: Yes, I entered that Bandcamp release the other night using it. It is very nice. But as the UPC was in text there, it didn’t come through in the import. There is probably an iTunes version of that release (his other stuff seems to be on iTunes) but I don’t use iTunes and I don’t care. (-:

darwin: i only had it happen twice. logged in after that and now it just works fine

yeah, just started happening like yestrday

reosarevok: what do you think about concerty.com ?

SothoTalKer: it is a website

click the link

I did

I mean, it's another concert website

If people find them useful, I'm not against them

find your favorite artist (maybe one that isnt dead)

Oh, I did!

:)

well, it looks like they got some nice aggregated data (:

reosarevok: just found it interesting that they use MBIDs directly :)

logged out again.

this is getting pretty annoying.

bitmap, yvanzo ^ any idea what might have changed?

Most likely the new Content-Security-Policy headers added to account pages.

yvanzo: is there something I can do to work around, if so?

reosarevok: thanks!

darwin: I did not find any related error in Sentry, try disabling userscripts until it doesn’t occur.

yvanzo: oh, actually, I'm not using any userscripts *on mb* .. I'm using them to import

yvanzo: specifically I've been using the bandcamp one when this happens

oh ok, so importers may possibly need to be updated to keep working

I will check if anything can be made on MB server's side but I have no clue for now.

it's confusing tho, because I use the two primary importers I use, beatport and bandcamp, and they work 9 times, and then the 10th time I'm logged out

(not actual numbers, but for sense of scale)

I know bitmap avoided adding CSP to edit pages because of userscripts, but if a script accesses account pages, it might cause issues.

If it doesn’t, then it is not due to CSP but possibly to another change in MBS.

darwin: which browser do you use these scripts with?

chrome for windows 10

"Get ready for the next concert of MusicBrainz Test Artist"

i cant wait

with unmissable hits such as '🤮 vomiting face Unicode: U+1F92E, UTF-8: F0 9F A4 AE' and 'Hidden Pregap Track'

and of course 'When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might so When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and

If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right'

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/73126555 - if his source is indeed spotify, that's not KR release (Spotify doesn't do business here in KR, and I can't sign up) - and the release name in KR release is different... just let this edit go thru and edit the release to match KR release or make a new release for KR release and make this non-KR release? I dunno

IMO the latter

Determining the release country in cases like these can be difficult, some people choose a single known-available country (e.g. the US) while others copy the "list of available markets" that the Spotify API returns (92 countries in this case)

Hmm, that makes sense.

At least I am 250% sure it's not for KR release

Yeah, there is no KR among the available markets in any case

Yeah, they ain't let me sign up

Release countries for streaming platform releases are a complicated topic

Indeed :P

not really easy to find out where you can see and where you cannot see

Having a huge list of countries for each Spotify release that changes constantly as they expand to or withdraw from markets is just as frustrating as a release claimed to be "Worldwide" when it's not available in a "reasonable" country like South Korea

So not really possible

Korean music market is quite complicated

Apple music lacks like (more than) 50% of local releases in KR release because the largest music publisher is also a distributor with their own streaming service

and they don't want... new competitor

I'm extremely surprised Spotify was able to operate in Germany, the musicians rights association here (GEMA) is famously complicated (e.g. they used to block nearly all music videos on youtube until Google effectively bribed them with an undisclosed sum)

Maybe they bribed them secretly /joke

Regarding the release above: It also has its medium set to "CD" (and incorrect featured artist credits...)

So it may indeed be a Korean version, but certainly not related to Spotify in any way

Korean releases have [ ] part in Korean so it's quite mixed I think

May also just be a newbie editor not understand when to select "Digital media", yeah

elomatreb[m]: maybe spotify just paid whatever GEMA demanded. Youtube tried to haggle.

Possibly that as well

Very possible, but if Google tried to haggle it must have been a fairly substantial sum for some random Swedish startup (they have been available here basically since launch)

I still struggle as well (I edit sporadically so I forget some part of relations each time I return)

according to https://www.gema.de/musiknutzer/musik-lizenzier... they already have a contract: Handelt es sich dabei um eine Plattform, die mit der GEMA bereits eine Vergütungsvereinbarung getroffen hat - wie z.B. Amazon, iTunes oder Spotify -, ist die normale Werkanmeldung ausreichend.

youtube was a bit different because they argued who has to pay. google said the user who uploaded has to pay, GEMA said it is youtube who has to pay :D

And btw is there any automatic way to remove 836 rotten links?

I wouldn't want to manually remove 836 URLs.....

(The domain in question is https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/url?query=url:*.mn... - www.mnet.com redirects to http://www.cjem.net/business/music and release URLs like http://www.mnet.com/album/250815 responded with 404 not found

only via a bot task

and the rot is permanent - they just scrapped their distributor business

Then the question is who has such bot and willing to do it for me :P

The links should be set as "ended", the Internet Archive may have a copy so the links themselves are still valuable to the database

hmm, indeed

(which is a little bit hidden, if you go to the specific URL entitity pages you can edit them)

still doing that for 836 en messe is quite... tedious

If you know when they closed their distributor business, this can be set as the end date

2019-10-01

i wished the IA was faster

Yeah, this is probably a task for either a bot or the administrators, they also do similar mass-URL-changes sometimes (e.g. HTTP->HTTPS)

Faster in picking up new pages?

faster in sending out archived web pages

sometimes (like this case) I feel like learning how to code then forget about it afterwards

revi: You may want to mention this in the forum (https://community.metabrainz.org/)

:P

Kk
