To display the RG it needs to have an official release, isn't it?

xplat: I think there's a way, but it requires opening the console and typing in javascript, if you're okay with that :)
2014-03-13 07251, 2014

the fact that it didn't recover from the error is a bug that needs fixing, though
2014-03-13 07210, 2014

anyway, if you paste MB.releaseEditor.submissionInProgress(false) && MB.releaseEditor.submitEdits(); into the JS console and hit enter it might go through

is that’s a similar bug related to submit to CAA failing?

I doubt it
2014-03-13 07202, 2014

well, I’m not sure it’s a bug… just there is no way to resubmit either

fail there is not that bad, since you will know it right after the 1st image fails and it’s usually not too big of a hassle to start all over again

seems to be the time to resurrect this good old Always show all releases on Musicbrainz v1.0 (https://userscripts.org/9456) for some folks ! :)
where do place aliases come from and can I edit them?
2014-03-13 07225, 2014

phonebox: They’re on the place’s “aliases” tab, and yes you can edit them

oh sorry, I meant areas :)
2014-03-13 07205, 2014

Oh. Areas are initially imported from Wikidata, which has something like aliases — but no, you can’t edit them once they’ve been imported.

i errored with "name must be scalar, not a hash or array" on about 7 tracks, why?
2014-03-13 07250, 2014
hawke1
is it a multiple-disc set?

hawke1: 4 discs, labeled with Disc Number field
2014-03-13 07258, 2014
hawke1
You have to manually add the discnumber…hmm.
2014-03-13 07233, 2014
hawke1
check the discnumber field on those tracks. That’s what it was when I ran into the same problem.
2014-03-13 07249, 2014
hawke1
I believe it’s basically saying “you have several tracks assigned to the same disc/track number”
2014-03-13 07202, 2014
hawke1
But maybe you’re running into a different but similar problem.
2014-03-13 07239, 2014
chrisb
hawke1: ok, great, i'll dig in...do i number from 0,1,2,3 or 1,2,3,4?
2014-03-13 07250, 2014
hawke1
1,2,3,4
2014-03-13 07209, 2014
hawke1
You should be able to edit it directly in Picard.
2014-03-13 07219, 2014
hawke1
Make sure there is only one of each disc number/track number combination

kepstin-laptop, Excuse me. I'm looking for a musicbrainz mirror server for my headphones application, because the regular headphones and tranquilbase always time-out to my requests
2014-03-13 07200, 2014
Nindustries
regular musicbrainz *
2014-03-13 07230, 2014
kepstin-laptop
the thing we normally recommend for headphones users is that you set up your own mirror, for example by using our server virtual machine image set up with a replicated database.
2014-03-13 07225, 2014
Nindustries
That's my plan eventually, but until I have obtained all hardware I need something to fil in the gap. I only have a few artists tough, so no heavy load
2014-03-13 07215, 2014
kepstin-laptop
if we had the resources to do public mirrors for headphones users, we'd rather just use them to make our real api handle more load :)

is there a way to fix over art order? when adding it offered me a means of choosing a position, but after half the images had server busy, it seems to have stopped caring about that, so the booklet scans are no longer contiguous
Zastai: on the release cover art editing page, you can reorder the images
2014-03-13 07201, 2014
kepstin-laptop
(the changes might not show up immediately; the edit has to pass first)

how silly of me not to notice that button
2014-03-13 07227, 2014

doubt that it would be a forced-vote edit type; will try it out
2014-03-13 07235, 2014

all the way at the bottom "reorder cover art" yeah :)

my basic idea was to build what amounted to a local partial musicbrainz mirror that linked tracks to files on your hard drive, then sticking a browsing/player interface on top of that.

as far*
2014-03-13 07234, 2014

and writing applications that support multiple database types in C really sucks.
2014-03-13 07205, 2014

I was tempted at javascript too, but if I did do javascript, I'd probably code it on the gnome javascript runtime and it would be horribly unportable ;)

(the new "gnome-music" player was originally javascript, but they switched to python a while back)
