Hi everyone! Sorry for missing a couple of meetings. I have a really hectic Monday nowadays and tend to doze off an hour before the meeting somehow.

Pratham Gupta: Turns out, the error in LB-1599 is related to description being too long. For exmaple, the desctiption for weekly jams in LB consists of 528 characters, while Spotify allows only 300

LB-1599: Weekly Mix export to Spotify fails (description too long) https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1599

I think, we can just disable descriptions while exporting, or just export 300 characters max

rimskii[m]: monkey: lucifer what you think?

<rimskii[m]> "Pratham Gupta: Turns out, the..." <- For some reason I wasn't able to export any playlist to Spotify, even if it has no description. I got the same error regardless of the playlist.

PrathamGupta[m]: is it on localhost?

No on the live page.

Does this feature require premium?

PrathamGupta[m]: it should not

PrathamGupta[m]: thats strange, that error it gives?

s/that/what/

rimskii[m]: The same one:

Error an unknown error occurred

might be because of spotify premium tho

please lemme know if others also have issues with exporting playlists to Spotify

has anyone written up instructions for how to join our matrix channels? the /contact page still points to IRC and I am need to invite a potential supporter to matrix for them to get help.

* or https://matrix.to/#/#metabrainz:chatbrainz.org

good to know.

lucifer: I was working on feedback you mentioned in github.

If I will return error that way, will it be okay? I was also thinking to add link to connect music services page

rimskii: yes, looks great. definitely add a link too.

sure, thanks !

I havent changed much on backend tho

just added raise APIForbidden

sounds about right.

Hi everyone, I'm Evan and currently working a concert related project! For using the static data dumps, can I still install the docker and server via github and go through with the instructions?

Since, I'm not yet contributing I don't have an access token ... so should I follow these: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docke...

yvanzo: ^ does musicbrainz-docker allow for setting up a full standalone database without replication? I recall that being a limitation in the past.

Yes it does. (I don’t even remember this limitation.)

Evan Suslovich: If you just want to try dealing with a small set of data at first, I would rather recommend: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docke...

Or if you need to try with the full data, just follow the normal instructions and skip replication and live indexes.

The link you pointed to is for developing the MusicBrainz Server itself.

yvanzo: https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrai... is what I was remembering (it seems linking to a specific message is still broken af...)

OK, standalone mode means that you can edit the data locally, but you can use the standard mirror mode to load the full data without enabling replication.

rimskii: How have you set up code watching for listenbrainz development environment?

or if anyone else can tell

s/can/knows/, s/tell/how to set it up, please guide me./

Ok, I think code watching is working by default but whatever changes I make in the frontend/js/src/home/Homepage.tsx, it doesn't reflect on the website.

I changed the Homepage.tsx file content to this:

But the webpage still shows this:

<PrathamGupta[m]> "rimskii: How have you set up..." <- Have you set it up according to documentation? https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/d...

you have to set it up, launch the docker and everything should be fine

<PrathamGupta[m]> "Ok, I think code watching is..." <- When the docker is up all you changes will be reflected on website automatically

rimskii[m]: I have set it up according to the documentation. On changing and saving the files, something seems to happen in the logs, but the changes don't show up. I have been waiting for 5-10 mins. How much time does it take for changes to reflect for you on average.

I run it using the ./develop.sh up command

I am using wsl. Is it possible that it is causing the issues?

* I have set it up according to the documentation. On changing and saving the files, something seems to happen in the logs, but the changes don't show up. I have been waiting for 10+ mins. How much time does it take for changes to reflect for you on average.

PrathamGupta[m]: yeah, usually when you change something on the front, the static builder should reload. It’s shown in the logs. But the changes should take only 15-20 seconds to reflect

I’m not sure why it’s not working on you

PrathamGupta[m]: I use macos, so can’t tell for sure

can you try to use other browser maybe? When I was using chrome instead of arc, it helped

I just checked, static-builder is not updating on making the changes. I'll try other browser.

On restarting the server, it updated after 10 mins. I also saw this error. Could this have anything to do with it?

The log file: ```... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/...>)

* The log file:... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/...>)

Ive got not exact but similar error before, but can’t remember how I solved it

Maybe reinstall the npm package? Seems like the issue is not on lb

Thank you all!! i'll be trying this out tonight, I'll let you all know how it goes. I'm developing on an m1, any idea if there's going to be limitations architecture wise?

I see that mac is allowed but just curious if there's any specific pain points I should look for ...

EvanSuslovich[m]: I’m using the same, so far no issues

Ok epic

rimskii[m]: I'll just delete all the containers and set up again ig. Btw, on starting, it seems that the static_builder doesn't use the updated code. It first builds the old code, then somehow it gets the update and builds the updated code.

* I'll just delete all the containers and set up again ig. Btw, on starting, it seems that the static\_builder doesn't use the updated code, if the code is updated while it is turned off. It first builds the old code, then somehow it gets the update and builds the updated code.
