hey ruaok. welcome back.

Russss (~rg@pc3-glfd2-4-cust14.glfd.cable.ntl.com) has joined #musicbrainz

hmm, MBE_TrackGetTrackId is giving me a URL to the track, as opposed to just the track id

is this intentional

djce: thanks. I'm still plucking sand from every pore. :-)

Russss: Yes.

ah, so it is

You need to call the GetIDFromURI call (or something like that).

ah, got it

coll.

er. cool.

wow. typing is weird.

I just used to furniture again. :-)

Living on the beach for 4 days in extremely adverse conditions is really rough.

definitely a break from the norm. which is good.

indeed.

I just really need a vacation now. :-)

In a clean room somewhere.

No sand, no dust, no noise.

oh well, too hot for me in my computer room. I'm off downstairs to cool down.

ok :-)

Nice weather in the UK?

too hot for me. 29-30 deg C

hi guys !

hey...

hm is there a tagger for linux ou there ? :)

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

I'm working on it this week...

if you need some help... in which language will you do it ?

Its a 2 step process.

The first step is a C++ library that will do all the dirty/hard work and compile on all three major OSes

The second step is to create a GUI for it using Python and wxPython.

The first step is almost done.

seems nice :)

I have a few minor things to tweak, and then its on to the GUI.

Do you program in C/C++?

I could use help for one task.

yep i used to

Have you ever done a C wrapper for a C++ class?

I should say C++ classes?

RJ (~RJj@host213-123-125-138.in-addr.btopenworld.com) has joined #musicbrainz

hey RJ

philipss: since C++ name mangling is non standard a C wrapper needs to be used.

ruaok: no. i never done such thing

ruaok: you just answered the question I was about to ask ;)

heheh

There are about 3-4 main classes that need to get wrapped and about 4-5 minor data container classes that need to get wrapped.

Its not difficult, just time consuming.

Take a look at this file: (one sec)

ok

This is the wrapper for the mb_client library.

We will need to have a wrapper for the tunepimp library (in the same CVS archive)

It will need to function about the same.

C++ objects need to be abstracted out to C void pointers.

string objects need to be converted to/from C strings.

The Tunepimp class also returns search result matches in a vector of classes.

Many of these classes have strings in them.

So, the search results (matches) need to get returned in an array of pointers.

And each class needs a wrapper.

And each method that uses needs to wrap the C++ string object.

y6

anyone here?

wookets: hey!

i need helpors

ruaok: nice TODO :)

philipss: Does that sound like something you'd be interested in helping with?

wookets: what do you need help with?

On the old musicbrainz client, I could have my filename be ##.Trackname

the new client doesn't seem to allow it

well, i can give a try. I'm really interested in a python tagger

the peroid

philipss: music to my ears.

period

The python tagger is what I really want to work on too!

wookets: period?

my whole collection is based off having a period in the filename

Luke, right?

ruaok: but i don't know wx, so i can work a little on C/C++ ;)

I got your mail.

%num.%track

oh, luke is my email name

on the old client i could do a double .. and it would work

wookets: The best thing to do is to wait for the next version of the tagger when I can properly address this.

k

great tagger

unless you bribe me with a decent donation to MB, and I might be persuaded to cranky out a custom version for you. :-)

thanks.

i recommend it to anyone that has mp3s

sweet.

i was also wondering about having the years tagged

philipss: If you want to take on this task, can you start by writing up a wrapper .h file for the tunpimp library?

but, i do all the years on the folder name

MB doesn't keep track of years yet. :-(

Its been on the todo list for quite some time, but it will be some time longer before we have support for it.

ruaok: for the next 2 days I'm working on my exams. So thursday, I can take a look on it ..

I was also wondering if you could make the tagger clear any comments in the idv3 and idv2

philipss: sounds good. I look forward to seeing something from your later this week...

well, I'm going to go tag, I'll see what I can do about that donation

could be done, I suppose.

enter a request for enhancement and I'll see what I can do.

use the 'report a bug link' for that and find the RFE section.

ruaok: it'll be the first time i do such thing, so plese be indulgent ;)

wookets: a donation would speed things up a bit. :-)

philipss: no worries. That's why I want to review it before you put a lot of effort into it.

ruaok: where is the tunpimp lib ?
