mayhem: all data from wolf has been imported on gaga now. i'll keep the data copy around on wolf for a while in case we need it.

great, thanks!

i wonder if i should move the wolf copy to michael instead so that we could run adhoc queries on the data in spark.

moving the gaga copy might be faster from the looks of it.

i see, makes sense.

mayhem: Maybe at some point we'll want a graphical editor for those grids: https://redgoose-dev.github.io/react-photo-layo...

I do believe we will.

monkey: the CAA image we use for "cover art missing" -- where can I find that image? is it hosted somewhere?

thanks!

aerozol: ^^ doesn't look half bad, really. :)

I agree

BrainzPlayer is now available in Beta in the MusicBrainz Android app.

Everyone do test it out and let us know how it is!

Congratulations yellowhatpro !! 💯✨

Nice !

yayy!!

I will be making some more optimization soon. Hope everyone likes the work (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

yellowhatpro, I would like us to sync the BrainzPlayer with the phone’s mediaolayer in general.

For example, when I play music on the Listens page, it doesn’t show up on the BP.

Our BP should keep a track of all the songs that are playing on the phone and be able to tweak things from the app itself

Umm but aren't the songs that are on Listen's page online?

So we have to integrate the existing Listen's screen with BP?

The app crashed for me when I try to play one of my listens from the app :/

Yeah I think we need spotify in the device for the listens

monkey: are you referring to the BrainzPlayer screen or the existing Listen screen?

Listens screen. I try to press one of the listens and the app crashes straight away

Do you have the Spotify app installed??

Hmm, need to make sure we have a check for that. In case someone doesn’t have spotify installed, we show an alert

Yeah yellowhatpro , we should integrate those. Try having a look at the service we use to submit listens to LB from the app. From there we can maybe get controls of the songs currently playing on the app and integrate that with BP

Yeah okkii . I will be working on it.

For info, the version I have installed is 5.1.4

Hmm monkey. That seems to be the current version

OK, just making sure :) I just updated it

Idr but it might be possible that your listens werent submitted from spotify. Maybe we assumed that every listen would have a spotify id and tried to play it.

Anyway, I’ll look into it tonight. Other than that, the player screen works fine for you, monkey?

Ahh, indeed the listens are not from Spotify

Right

Just checking, but it looks like the app crashes sometimes when I try to play files from my phone as well. I don't really have music but there are a few files. Sometimes I can play them sometimes it just crashes

Any way I can se error messages anywhere? i'm on Android 12

Looks like I have adb locally, I'll try that

Okieee

Here's a log of a crash trying to play a local file:

And here's the log when trying to play a listen from the listen tab:

Hope it helps ! Happy to help test some more if needed

Looks like the issues are: `IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 3, Size: 3` (I can see only 2 elements in that particular tab) for the first case and `NullPointerException: uriString` for the listens tab

Thanks a lot!

hmmm

>Now, the most notable public music databases are MusicBrainz and Discogs open-source platforms and IFPI’s ISRC code catalog — but, unfortunately, all of them are far from complete.

(from https://soundcharts.com/blog/music-metadata)

that claim sounds unsubstantial

when applied to only the ISRC data, its is wholly true.

i see

I mean we get more ISRC every day :D

Ok so I was able to reproduce the error, it happened when I used shuffle songs option.

Was it the same in your case monkey ?

another disputable claim ...

>Attempts to create a global centralized database for song metadata have always ended in failure

(from https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/29/18531476/mus...)

Negative. In my case I have three playable files: on samsung ringtone and two voice messages from a messaging app appearing as <unknown> author. I pressed the <unknown> author, where I see the two voice message files. If I play the first one it works and I can skip to the second one. But if I try to press the second one straight away the app crashed. The error `IndexOutOfBoundsException` suggests there is an index offset issue

somewhere

So maybe playing the last item in a list could reproduce?

Yeah true, the last item does gives this error. Thanks monkey: I will be fixing it soon.

lucifer: even that one is correct.

oh! interesting.

music metadata is not just comprised of the data that MB has. We could consider the data we have to be "public metadata", but there is a pile of private metadata that is not collected in one place.

e.g. who owns copyrights, who write what song, who played on what track and what their splits are.

(splits are how to split the rights on a track among the stakeholders of the track)

i see, makes sense. all of the articles i found when searching for broken metadata are talking about that private metadata indeed

and there are several companies who are working to fix the private metadata situation.

problem is, both silly valley and the music industry come with this: "We must own 100% of the solution" attitude.

but that is... well... not workable.

yup, indeed.

if you're interested in more of the details of the music industry, remind me in person, I can explain more.

sure definitely!

Just know that I don’t give eeffoc until I’ve had my coffee

lucifer: 👍

btw lucifer: about that being able to remember things you wrote in the import "your username" box

would be great if i could jsut write "n" and the dropdown had the alstfm usernam already sine used it before

instead of typingit in every time and potentially getting it wrong and having to like.. delete my entire thing because re-importing everything after

CatQuest, typing "n" getting the dropdown, i think that is a browser autocomplete feature.

yep

the earliest importfield box iterations had it

but it got lost somewhere in the having last/libre as well

they still do for me.

:(

not for me on olf ff44

so i guess a no fix

whoooo 1 727 596 listens

i see. i am not really sure why it broke. but we can discuss this monkey next week. he knows more about this than me and we can see if a fix is possible.

sure!

when are stats calculated?

daily.

justimported and it says not calculated for this week/month

alright!

when around?

its usually done by 8 AM UTC iirc.

o that's.. 7.. 6 my time tomorrow then i guess?

erh no backwards

8.. 10

bah

hm. i don't get why it thinks i listen to somuch led zzep, i don't really?

hmm

anyway, thanks

going to bed now. take care ^___^

good night!
