so it's ok? No bug?

yes, it's not a bug

I didn't know that MB hide promotion releases, weird

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

bitmap: now that MB has stopped being read-only, is there anyway i can recover my big edit from yesterday?

probably not..

(i've still got it in my browser stuck at 'Submitting edits...')

reoafk: linkedbrainz - bonus points for using Manowar on the example page!

wtf? didn't mean to ping reo. that was some stupid auto-complete thing.

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

the fact that it didn't recover from the error is a bug that needs fixing, though

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

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

oh, possibly, I've never really looked at that code

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

Kazaam: if you want to see full disco, add ?all=1 (or click the “Show all release groups instead” link at bottom) of artist page

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 each “short=0” → “all=1”

jesus2099: Merci Mr. J :)

M. J. (Mr is englihs)  ;)

have to go !

by bye !

haha

bitmap: thanks, that worked perfectly!

Anyone who knows German care to double-check my work on http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/b3a7a844-40... ?

(Work-recording relations, that is. Given that the recordings are in English and the work names are in German…I’m not 100% confident I got them right)

picard didn't give me the option to submit a CD stub for a 4 disc set I just finished labelling by hand

how can i get this nice dataset into MB?

chrisb: use the 'submit cluster as release' plugin

…crap, I think I should have added a new English version anyway, since it’s translated. :-/

hawke1: ok, i'll see if i have that plugin, thanks

chrisb: if not, http://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Pic...

where do place aliases come from and can I edit them?

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

oh sorry, I meant areas :)

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

hawke1: addrelease.py(c) is in /usr/lib/picard/picard/plugins/, how do i "activate" it?

chrisb: in options, plugins.

hawke1: thanks, found it!

chrisb: You’re welcome.

i errored with "name must be scalar, not a hash or array" on about 7 tracks, why?

is it a multiple-disc set?

hawke1: yes

hawke1: 4 discs, labeled with Disc Number field

You have to manually add the discnumber…hmm.

check the discnumber field on those tracks. That’s what it was when I ran into the same problem.

I believe it’s basically saying “you have several tracks assigned to the same disc/track number”

But maybe you’re running into a different but similar problem.

hawke1: ok, great, i'll dig in...do i number from 0,1,2,3 or 1,2,3,4?

1,2,3,4

You should be able to edit it directly in Picard.

Make sure there is only one of each disc number/track number combination

Hi, Does anyone have a mirror for me? Thanks

Nindustries: you'll have to provide a little more context about what you're looking for...

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

regular musicbrainz *

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.

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

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 :)

ah :9

:( *

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

cover art order*

(http://musicbrainz.org/release/acbb4cd0-ff7f-3e...)

Zastai: on the release cover art editing page, you can reorder the images

(the changes might not show up immediately; the edit has to pass first)

how silly of me not to notice that button

doubt that it would be a forced-vote edit type; will try it out

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

reorders are applied automatically

oh, they are now?

I know that was an issue back when I first started using it :)

the last time I did that they were.

k, they're all there. now someone better at reading japanese than I am can complete the credit relationships for that release :-)

one way to be sure something will never get done is to get me to do it.

heh

apparently I started writing a wicked awesome musicbrainz player a couple years ago.

Apparently, since we are yet to see it :p

Which is a shame :(

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.

I have yet to firmly decide what programming language to use ;)

ooh ooh use brainfuck!

no.

ok ok, haskell then

i'm tempted, but I don't have ocharles levels of haskellity.

you drive a hard bargain sir. ok, last offer: COBOL

python needs to die a firey death as ar as I'm concerned

as far*

and writing applications that support multiple database types in C really sucks.

(I should just write it in C and hardcode the use of sqlite or something in order to actually make forwards progress)

Zastai: aren’t you confusing Python with PHP perchance?

then goes Javascript I guess and only then all the other languages.

no, but i'll happy throw it on the bonfire I built for python

happily*

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)

akai is a synth piano etc. brand

the mpd is just a pad input device, isn't it

i see images in https://duckduckgo.com/?q=akai+mpd

probably 'keyboard' is closest, in what we have

drums

elec. drums

well, you can assign arbitrary samples or combinations to the pads

it should be other if there is nothing closer than keyboards or drums :)…… or percussions should be !

but you play it like a percussion anyway

could just call it a 'synthesizer', since what the pads are controlling is a synth of some sort in the back end...

rather samples imo

kepstin-laptop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel%E2%80%...

hawke1: so it's a radioelectric instrument, 53.something?

yeah

or 53something

OHP calls MPD series are PAD CONTROLLER(s)

reosarevok: ↗

it’s what’s printed on the machine itself

Yeah, I just have no idea how to credit that :)

I did think about drum machine

But it's not really that either

a pad input device can be used to configure/program a drum machine...
