        who do i need to bribe to make "new songs from your top artists" a constantly updating playlist throughout the year?
      • 2021-12-16 35008, 2021

      • lucifer
        ah ok, i was thinking if you are working on the listening graph. i could fix up the new albums and day of wekk

        i did notice a missing space in "and finally four personalized playlistsof music"
      • 2021-12-16 35040, 2021

      • lucifer
        nbin, mayhem generates the playlist. but you can do it yourself too. its available as cli tool.

        yvanzo: Is there any reason why the live-indexer doesn't have "restart: unless-stopped"? Sorry for all the questions!

        No hard feelings CatQuest
      • 2021-12-16 35051, 2021

      • alastairp
        nbin: I believe that we actually have some scripts to make that happen already, and we've been talking about making it happen

      • 2021-12-16 35000, 2021

      • alastairp
        nbin: thanks, we already found that missing space and fixed it

        lucifer: oh sweet, i need to dig into all of this fun stuff for sure then
      • 2021-12-16 35035, 2021

      • mayhem
        more seriously, whatever we get good feedback on for YIM will be turned into recurring playlists.
      • 2021-12-16 35036, 2021

      • monkey
        For what it's worth, I think publishing this end of year thing before what's a relatively common holiday period outweights the benefit of having the last 15 days of december in.
      • 2021-12-16 35046, 2021

      • nbin
        alastairp: gotcha
      • 2021-12-16 35004, 2021

        monkey: in what way?
      • 2021-12-16 35028, 2021

      • CatQuest
        is that this "on no, xmas music D:" thing? because i honestly don't et that.
      • 2021-12-16 35028, 2021

      • CatQuest
        if people listen to thatm usic they listen to that music. if you don't wanto colect listens on holyday music then don't log that
      • 2021-12-16 35035, 2021

      • mayhem
        wow and picard today too?? wow.
      • 2021-12-16 35038, 2021

        it's like "becasue i's holiday music it doesnt count"
      • 2021-12-16 35040, 2021

      • CatQuest
        like wtf? ok, then don't log it then. noone cares about you secretly listen to justin bieber either so do the same if holiday music is so bad on ypour profile :P
      • 2021-12-16 35041, 2021

      • monkey
        CatQuest: Not at all related to Xmas music. People will have more time to listen to and explore those reports while on vacation, and more likely to have time to share with family and friends
      • 2021-12-16 35050, 2021

      • CatQuest
        ooh i see
      • 2021-12-16 35058, 2021

      • CatQuest
        well that makes more sense true
      • 2021-12-16 35000, 2021

      • nbin
        looks like this tooling is perfect for me to try to do an idea i've had for a while: finding "forgotten artists"; ones you had a high listen count for but haven't listened to in X years. definitely need to spin up a local instance of all this and play around
      • 2021-12-16 35002, 2021

      • outsidecontext
        mayhem: yes, it's like christmas already today. And I'm totally excited by the YIM, looking forward to see this in its final form
      • 2021-12-16 35009, 2021

      • CatQuest
        but i want ymi for 2022 to include december ;)

        mayhem: re the LFM email, no leads yet. i know it errors for some people but i have been unable to reproduce the error for myself on dummy accounts.
      • 2021-12-16 35032, 2021

      • mayhem
        oh fun.
      • 2021-12-16 35035, 2021

      • CatQuest
        nbin: does sound really cool idea
      • 2021-12-16 35037, 2021

      • lucifer
        actual LFM account, dummy LB account that is
      • 2021-12-16 35057, 2021

      • lucifer
        i'd really like to throw it away and rewrite like spotify reader.
      • 2021-12-16 35015, 2021

      • lucifer
        that has more visibility and errors come in sentry at least for LFM they don't.
      • 2021-12-16 35019, 2021

      • lucifer
        -- rant
      • 2021-12-16 35019, 2021

      • alastairp
        nbin: yeah, I recall mentioning this a while back as an idea. "throwback to time x"
      • 2021-12-16 35027, 2021

      • mayhem
        might no be such a bad idea.

        "your popular stuff of all time" is one thing, but "your popular stuff 5 years ago" is a whole nother thing
      • 2021-12-16 35004, 2021

      • CatQuest
        i accidentally did that once I looked at old listens from lastfm soem time ago. it was like 2o2 i remeber x" havent lsitened to that in ages -> goes and lsitens ot it

      • 2021-12-16 35025, 2021

      • alastairp
        no, sorry. I can't
      • 2021-12-16 35026, 2021

      • nbin
        and then "your less popular but still relevant stuff from 5 years ago that you seem to have forgotten about"
      • 2021-12-16 35042, 2021

      • CatQuest
        I mean 20 years from now you can ;D
      • 2021-12-16 35051, 2021

      • nbin
        yeah with 16+ years of history i occasionally stumble on stuff i just lost when migrating music libraries or whatever, so a generated list would for sure be gold
      • 2021-12-16 35009, 2021

      • CatQuest
        definitly
      • 2021-12-16 35037, 2021

      • CatQuest
        waaay back in the day (when i listened ot cassettes becasue cd's was only for rich ppl) i actually kept a written list in biro for what listened too
      • 2021-12-16 35041, 2021

      • monkey
        lucifer: Just to make sure: the most_listened_year listen count, is that number of individual listens, or number of individual recordings (i.e. all listens of that recording count for 1) ?
      • 2021-12-16 35055, 2021

      • CatQuest
        i wish i could fidn that list again D:
      • 2021-12-16 35009, 2021

      • lucifer
        monkey: individual listens.
      • 2021-12-16 35018, 2021

      • monkey
        Thank you !
      • 2021-12-16 35014, 2021

      • lucifer
        alastairp: not sure if you saw my earlier message. is the coverart stuff still on the cards for today? if yes i can try to help with that, otherwise i'll find something else to do.
      • 2021-12-16 35053, 2021

      • zas
      • 2021-12-16 35054, 2021

      • alastairp
        i've not started it yet, but I think we could still give it a go
      • 2021-12-16 35019, 2021

      • alastairp
        as we mentioned earlier, the "difficult" part is to make a decision as to what release to choose for each rrecording
      • 2021-12-16 35048, 2021

      • lucifer
        all those releases belong to same release group though?
      • 2021-12-16 35013, 2021

      • alastairp
        to confirm - which coverart are we talking about? :)
      • 2021-12-16 35025, 2021

      • lucifer
        the playlists?
      • 2021-12-16 35040, 2021

      • lucifer
        I meant we don't know what release to choose for a given recording in the playlist but do we know if all those releases of the recording belong to same release group?
      • 2021-12-16 35001, 2021

      • alastairp
        it's possible for a recording to be in many distinct release groups
      • 2021-12-16 35000, 2021

      • lucifer
        oh. that's more difficult then.
      • 2021-12-16 35010, 2021

      • alastairp
        mayhem has been doing this in a few places - the "canonical" release - first official non-compilation sorted by earliest year
      • 2021-12-16 35019, 2021

      • alastairp
        yeah, it's not as straightforward as a single join
      • 2021-12-16 35028, 2021

      • lucifer
        i guess fine to leave it for now then.
      • 2021-12-16 35047, 2021

      • alastairp
        ok
      • 2021-12-16 35055, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        monkey I think a click on the cover art from the top albums should redirect to mb
      • 2021-12-16 35017, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        Other than that, anything I could help with rn?
      • 2021-12-16 35054, 2021

      • monkey
        Agreed, it's on my list
      • 2021-12-16 35021, 2021

      • monkey
        And yes, alastairp just showed me the saved images generated from the componentToImage, and they look all kinds of broken :/
      • 2021-12-16 35023, 2021

      • alastairp
        akshaaatt: I get this when downloading top recordings in safari https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/TfA4gKf…

      • 2021-12-16 35053, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        Yeah I noticed just the same rn alastairp, facing the same on safari

        roger_that: Good question. It has been removed for the old indexer. Not sure of the implications for the current indexer.
      • 2021-12-16 35013, 2021

      • monkey
        Also akshaaatt, mayhem suggested that seeing the top-albums coverflow, clicking on "save image" and having a totally differnt image is disapointing. He suggested removing that functionality for the coverflow
      • 2021-12-16 35014, 2021

      • agatzk joined the channel
      • 2021-12-16 35028, 2021

      • monkey
        (I guess either that or we find a way to save the coverflow as an image?)
      • 2021-12-16 35003, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        I think we can move the save to image part for the albums to someplace else on the place then
      • 2021-12-16 35057, 2021

      • monkey
        I'll give a quick try to save the coverflow as an image with 5 or 6 cover arts (will try later this afternoon)
      • 2021-12-16 35007, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        Okaaay!
      • 2021-12-16 35012, 2021

      • monkey
        For the broken saved images, two thoughts: 1. svgs seem to break stuff (maybe?) so it might be worth trying with pngs
      • 2021-12-16 35012, 2021

      • monkey
        2. maybe removing specific css styles one at a time until it works? I'm guessing there's an issue rendering rounded corners, or bo-shadow, or something
      • 2021-12-16 35035, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        svg messes this stuff up I can confirm
      • 2021-12-16 35052, 2021

      • akshaaatt
        I'll look into the saving images part rn

      • 2021-12-16 35007, 2021

      • roger_that

        Ohh... so doing a direct database search actually searches musicbrainz.org and not my mirror?

        CatQuest: It can import from Gravatar but runs independently otherwise. It might be a fallback to be considered just in case the other solution using Discourse has to be abandoned for some reason.

        akshaaatt: i think that's some node js server. when using LB the server will be flask. you could still set stuff up that way but will need some additional steps.
