<_BrainzGit> "[listenbrainz-server] MonkeyDo..." <- Thanks monkey for creating the page for it :)

<lucifer[m]> "suvid: hi! let me know when..." <- Hi... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/...>)

[@suvid:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@suvid:matrix.org) we decided to not use the listens importer or external service oauth table for the imports. but a separate table like we do for user data exports.

oh thank god 😅

makes life a bit easier!?

great, you should be able to copy most of the logic from exports and use it in import APIs.

yes that was indeed the original plan

* yes,, * and that was

The only difference is that the API to trigger the import should be uploading the files

* yes,, * and that was, * original plan :)

And you don't need an api to download the files.

i am wondering should i start from scratch 🤔

your call.

just to be clear, we aren't using the listens_importer tablr now right?

Nope

and we're making the new imports table right?

Yes

👍️

ok lemme think on how to go about it and will let you know in a few hours

gotta see if i should start from scratch 😅

hey lucifer while testing my updated indexer aligining with your recent suggestions i encountered an issue that i am unable to get directly the metatdata for `artist` and `album ` they’re only present inside the `HTML` in the `description` field Should I implement a helper function like `extract_from_description` to parse these values from the description `HTML` as a fallback, or do you prefer that we only index

what’s available in the top-level metadata?

```txt

[@rayyan_seliya123:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@rayyan_seliya123:matrix.org) can you share the item id or url with me

see this

for some different recording i got the data as like this see the gist https://gist.github.com/RayyanSeliya/89ba8bf48e...

rayyan_seliya123: i see okay, lets try to use the metadata if available directly otherwise try to extract from the html description

let's use beautifulsoup or some other html parsing for this task though instead of hand written regex.

lucifer[m]: yeah for sure i will use this and check again !!

yvanzo, lucifer: any idea if there's any good reason why area and label index `F("sortname", "aliases.sort_name")` in `sir`?

(or, alternatively, why other entities do not)

I think I'll drop it from my genre impl unless there's any reason we do want it

no idea.
