heh

there is that

I'll happily beta-test it :p

But it would be silly to pay MB for the privilege of making MB's data better :p

haha

possibly true, yeah

You need to be *really* dedicated for that.

we might be able to convince them to give autoeditors free unlimited api access... :)

haha

heh

I would have thought we don't even need a throttled web site

only web service

ocharles: userscripts use the web service

that's the issue here

Speaking of that

oh?

(n accepted edits)

I noticed yesterday I have now more edits made than nikki

:p

haha

lol

ocharles: with the number of userscripts advanced editors use to workaround site issues, it's pretty easy to hit the webservice usage limits :/

nikki said she had what, 43?

not all of them use the WS, of course, but

I have less than 15 here

I still hit the limits

I think right now when I look at a release page, it does between 2-4 musicbrainz webservice queries, and one acoustid webservice quer

i'm a fairly light userscript user :)

maybe people could yknow, submit website patches

ocharles: yeah, but some scripts wouldn't really fit

I mean, http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121723 is one of the ones that make me hit the cap

I don't think it really should be part of MB

With http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119544 I'm more doubtful, it might fit better

Mine only makes ws calls to load artist/work entities when you paste an MBID

Nothing while actually adding them?

(the relationships I mean)

reosarevok: That one is damn sexy.

That's website throttling, I guess -- it just submits forms

reosarevok: Just needs to work from a recording search too

Oh

Then ocharles: remove website throttling! :p

a more efficient web service would probably let us up the bar on throttling

hawke_1: it is, but it really goes against the idea of making vanilla MB more browser-friendly

I mean, if I want to see a list of recordings I don't want that box all around

reosarevok: Agreed.

reosarevok: Maybe we need a toggle button somewhere for an advanced interface or something

Woo, Django Reinhardt is down to 111 pages of recordings. :-D

From 120 when I started

heh

I could see hiding/showing relationships with an advanced button, too.

hawke_1: don't we do that now? :p

reosarevok: Do we? I thought that was part of bitmap’s script, not the website proper

ocharles: if what kovacsur says is true and the throttling that is affecting me is actually the website one and not the webservice one, just upping the bar a bit would help

hawke_1: it's the site

I think the disable button is part of the userscript yeah

(or rather, I didn't install it in this computer)

And I have the switch

Although it doesn't hide the release ones I guess, just the ones in the tracklist

ah, okay

Where’s this button? :-/

I don’t see it, and I disabled the userscript

hawke_1: by "Rating"

reosarevok: On a release page?

Yes...

I don’t see it at all…

Title Hide Credits RatingLength

Oh, there it is.

:)

I was looking by the release rating

Oh, sorry!

So I didn't even remember there was one :D

Anyone know if there's a site like browser shots that isn't absurdly slow.

Hmm, the link moves left/right when I click it. That’s mildly annoying

i.e. “show credits” is left of where “hide credits” is

WOAH

Megaupload is my favourite

:p

Heh, not helped by the fact that the recording I’m looking at has duplicate dated/undated relationships. :-/

But yeah, MU is much, much less of a pain than many of its competitors

especially fileserve, fuck that thin

g

it is

old sapidshit isn't as bad either.. the rare times it actually loads XP

*rapidshit

hawke_1: off with them!!!!

reosarevok: I did!

now now, there is nothing wrong with (de)capitalisation

hmm

reosarevok: Now we just need the ticket fixed so that MB stops creating them. :-D

luks: Would it be hard to make the acoustID integration script icons show next to the title, instead of at the bottom?

"SLOW DOWN"

I don't want to! :(

reosarevok, are you running multiple scripts in parallel?

I am adding 24 works from recordings via bitmap's script while trying to manually add the parent work in another tab

It doesn't like it

Hmm

surprise :P

I have other tab open in the recordings tab of other artist

Haven't touched it in hours

So it shouldn't be doing anything

But let's make sure by moving tab :)

ocharles, you also assume people know perl

Anyway, the usefulness of saving time via scripts is quite reduced if I have to sit and wait for them to finish running :p

(before I can touch the site at all)

well, they still save you a couple hundred clicks

Sure, sure

It's just annoying that the website is stopping me from making it better :p

so, I have an idea

project: MB Importers

VxJasonxV, the fact remains that some scripts don't really fit in MB

(but in a more general case, I agree)

MB has FreeDB importers, why not let us work on some officially-sanctioned system that will let MB do some of the heavy lifting to pull from consistent sources? discogs, bandcamp, itunes, amazon (maybe)

Oooh, you mean that

:)

Those are a big part of my use. And pre-filled tracklists are a god send.

Aha, it’s apparently because the icon goes at the end of the td, after the div for the relationships…but it needs to go after the title.

I thought you meant designating people to import userscripts into mb-server ;)

naw

I'm biased, but I like my idea.

add realease, add va release, add release from url

No idea how to change that though…oh well.

navap: you should update http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/93894 so it supports beta ;-)

You mean bitmap

I guess

(@ murdos)

VxJasonxV: well, there is an iTunes importer userscript, a Discogs one and a Bandcamp one

(although the latter two refuse to work in Chrome I think)

(and the iTunes one still has flaws)

ah, yeah... brain needs some rest, thanks for correcting me reosarevok :-)

Making them more official risks looking a bit like we're in ur website stealing ur data

Which I don't mind, but I don't know if it's technically allowed

Well that's my point. I use those, I love them, and I want them without having to open firefox to generate them.

- )

VxJasonxV: an 'import userscript support team' would be probably better, IMO

oh pshaw

what's in a name.
