        Anyone know much about the client library? I'm finding that after several requests I start getting a 503 error, which it never seems to recover from
      • 2008-04-15 10641, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        you requesting too quickly?
      • 2008-04-15 10655, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Quite possibly, is there some sort of rate limiting going on?
      • 2008-04-15 10606, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        1/s is enforced, yes.
      • 2008-04-15 10607, 2008

        max 1 req/sec
      • 2008-04-15 10611, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Aha.
      • 2008-04-15 10623, 2008

      • adhawkins
        And once the rate limit kicks in, is there anything I can do to 'reset' it?
      • 2008-04-15 10629, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        stop?
      • 2008-04-15 10632, 2008

      • adhawkins
        :)
      • 2008-04-15 10656, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        It's a standard perl module (iirc), I'm betting it's reset after n minutes.
      • 2008-04-15 10607, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Basically what I'm doing is going through all my albums regularly, downloading tags for them and comparing them with tags in my files
      • 2008-04-15 10611, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        unless you eventually perma-ban yourself

      • ruaok
        FauxFaux: no, its piece of custom work by out wizard behind the scenes.
      • 2008-04-15 10629, 2008

      • adhawkins
        So I need to make sure I only make a request every couple of seconds?
      • 2008-04-15 10636, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        just 1/sec
      • 2008-04-15 10643, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        Heh, ruaok, I'd only seen the public interface, cool. :)
      • 2008-04-15 10644, 2008

      • ruaok
        adhawkins: are you scanning for updates against the DB?
      • 2008-04-15 10659, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Not sure what you mean ruaok?
      • 2008-04-15 10617, 2008

      • adhawkins
        I'm using MusicBrainz::Query to return releases for a disc ID
      • 2008-04-15 10618, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        adhawkins: I was thinking of offering a way (via. my server) to grab all the data for a submitted list of album mbids, probably in a simpler format than the xml the webservice dumps, thoughts?
      • 2008-04-15 10618, 2008

      • ruaok
        periodically check to see if metadata has been updated?
      • 2008-04-15 10619, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        "going through all my albums regularly, downloading tags for them and comparing them with tags in my files" sounds like it, yes ru
      • 2008-04-15 10641, 2008

      • ruaok
        BrianFreud: just checking. :)
      • 2008-04-15 10642, 2008

      • adhawkins
        ruaok, yes, that's exactly what I'm doing
      • 2008-04-15 10647, 2008

      • ruaok
        adhawkins: ok, please stop.
      • 2008-04-15 10652, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Oh :(
      • 2008-04-15 10602, 2008

      • ruaok
        a scan like that will likely give you less than 5% hits.
      • 2008-04-15 10608, 2008

      • ruaok
        and just put dumbass loads on our server.
      • 2008-04-15 10622, 2008

      • ruaok
        please download and host the data yourself if you'd like to do that.
      • 2008-04-15 10635, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Ok. How much data are we talking?
      • 2008-04-15 10639, 2008

      • warp
        FauxFaux: i'd be interested in any kind of feed of updates to my collection of musicbrainz release ids
      • 2008-04-15 10646, 2008

      • ruaok
        on disk 3-4gb
      • 2008-04-15 10601, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Right, what's the database format? Postgres? Mysql?
      • 2008-04-15 10610, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        It can be coerced into postgres format.
      • 2008-04-15 10618, 2008

      • adhawkins
        I want MySQL ideally :)
      • 2008-04-15 10629, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        The replication needs perl+postgres+lunix stuff, which is almost certainly pain to change. :)
      • 2008-04-15 10643, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        and MySQL will run screaming from the db size
      • 2008-04-15 10653, 2008

      • ruaok should add mysql has one of the bot hot buttons.
      • 2008-04-15 10658, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Would downloading the whole 3-4 Gig of data really be less load than making a request for each album?
      • 2008-04-15 10602, 2008

      • ruaok
        BrianFreud: naw, its not that bad.
      • 2008-04-15 10617, 2008

      • ruaok
        adhawkins: yes. we don't pay for that bandwidth or the hosting :-)
      • 2008-04-15 10624, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Ok.
      • 2008-04-15 10627, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        warp: Mmm, yeah. I have a local db and I haven't managed anything clever yet. Best is probably submitting a releaseid/hash of what you think is the data, or something like that?
      • 2008-04-15 10631, 2008

      • ruaok
        and its only 700 MB compressed.
      • 2008-04-15 10637, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        I'
      • 2008-04-15 10650, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        I'd guess, too, it's more the server load than the bandwidth that's problematic?
      • 2008-04-15 10652, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        Of course, it breaks horribly if you lack the complete metadata set (ie. you have a track missing from an album).
      • 2008-04-15 10607, 2008

      • ruaok
        BrianFreud: yes.
      • 2008-04-15 10616, 2008

      • adhawkins
        ruaok, is there any better way to do what I want to do?
      • 2008-04-15 10618, 2008

      • ruaok
        we're good within our bandwidth allottment right now.
      • 2008-04-15 10625, 2008

      • ruaok
        not right now.
      • 2008-04-15 10629, 2008

      • adhawkins
        I want to periodically make sure all the tags in my music is up to date.
      • 2008-04-15 10635, 2008

      • ruaok
        we're hoping to get RSS feeds for each artist before too long.
      • 2008-04-15 10646, 2008

      • ruaok
        and then tools can scan RSS feeds for changes.
      • 2008-04-15 10648, 2008

      • FauxFaux
        Actually, I'm not sure I want to know how out of date my collection is, or I'd go implement it right now. :p
      • 2008-04-15 10655, 2008

      • ruaok
        and only request the releases that have changed.
      • 2008-04-15 10656, 2008

      • warp
        FauxFaux: i really have no idea, i don't currently have a tool to automate tagging. i have half a tool which -- when it doesn't throw python exceptions -- renames my files based on data from the webservice looked up with the mbid from the tags.

      • 2008-04-15 10621, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Is it an option to run a local server and for me to query that rather than the 'master'?

        So how easy is it to set up a local server and have it mirror data from the master?
      • 2008-04-15 10648, 2008

      • ruaok
        without the WS, its postgres, 4 perl modules.
      • 2008-04-15 10651, 2008

      • Kerensky97
        nope, third to last. 49424631000827
      • 2008-04-15 10604, 2008

      • ruaok
        with the WS its apache1 + mod_perl and a boat load of perl modules.
      • 2008-04-15 10607, 2008

      • warp
        what's this about numbers and minidisc?
      • 2008-04-15 10619, 2008

      • adhawkins
        Is the setup of a 'local' mirror documented anywhere?

      • 2008-04-15 10635, 2008

      • BrianFreud
        They got to around 10k, then the IRC server had to go offline, wasn't compiled to handle that many at the same time in one channel

        yeah, it was really annoying, but fun for a short time, seeing how high the numbers would go

        warp: I was doing barcodes for h!p stuff, couldn't find two of the minidisc ones, but I think I know what they should be, only I'm not sure if the second to last digit is 8 or not

        warp: it seems like for zetima the second to last is the same for each format, like all CDs have 2 there, and all vinyl has 5, the one minidisc I've seen had 8, and BrianFreud was saying that it's fairly common, so I wondered if there were others

        heh, the only minidisc i have has a barcode, but no numbers. (so i'd need a scanner).
