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.
2022-09-16 25916, 2022
akshaaatt
For example, when I play music on the Listens page, it doesn’t show up on the BP.
2022-09-16 25947, 2022
akshaaatt
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
2022-09-16 25928, 2022
yellowhatpro
Umm but aren't the songs that are on Listen's page online?
2022-09-16 25936, 2022
yellowhatpro
So we have to integrate the existing Listen's screen with BP?
2022-09-16 25909, 2022
monkey
The app crashed for me when I try to play one of my listens from the app :/
2022-09-16 25940, 2022
yellowhatpro
Yeah I think we need spotify in the device for the listens
2022-09-16 25922, 2022
yellowhatpro
monkey: are you referring to the BrainzPlayer screen or the existing Listen screen?
2022-09-16 25902, 2022
monkey
Listens screen. I try to press one of the listens and the app crashes straight away
2022-09-16 25915, 2022
yellowhatpro
Do you have the Spotify app installed??
2022-09-16 25952, 2022
akshaaatt
Hmm, need to make sure we have a check for that. In case someone doesn’t have spotify installed, we show an alert
2022-09-16 25959, 2022
akshaaatt
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
2022-09-16 25921, 2022
yellowhatpro
Yeah okkii . I will be working on it.
2022-09-16 25949, 2022
monkey
I do have spotify installed
2022-09-16 25944, 2022
monkey
For info, the version I have installed is 5.1.4
2022-09-16 25948, 2022
akshaaatt
Hmm monkey. That seems to be the current version
2022-09-16 25908, 2022
monkey
OK, just making sure :) I just updated it
2022-09-16 25917, 2022
akshaaatt
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.
2022-09-16 25906, 2022
akshaaatt
Anyway, I’ll look into it tonight. Other than that, the player screen works fine for you, monkey?
2022-09-16 25939, 2022
monkey
Ahh, indeed the listens are not from Spotify
2022-09-16 25932, 2022
akshaaatt
Right
2022-09-16 25918, 2022
monkey
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
2022-09-16 25958, 2022
monkey
Any way I can se error messages anywhere? i'm on Android 12
2022-09-16 25920, 2022
monkey
Looks like I have adb locally, I'll try that
2022-09-16 25941, 2022
akshaaatt
Okieee
2022-09-16 25936, 2022
monkey
Here's a log of a crash trying to play a local file:
Hope it helps ! Happy to help test some more if needed
2022-09-16 25909, 2022
monkey
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
2022-09-16 25918, 2022
akshaaatt
Thanks a lot!

>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.
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
2022-09-16 25954, 2022
monkey
somewhere
2022-09-16 25942, 2022
monkey
So maybe playing the last item in a list could reproduce?
2022-09-16 25912, 2022
yellowhatpro
Yeah true, the last item does gives this error. Thanks monkey: I will be fixing it soon.
2022-09-16 25953, 2022
mayhem
lucifer: even that one is correct.
2022-09-16 25921, 2022
lucifer
oh! interesting.
2022-09-16 25946, 2022

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.
2022-09-16 25909, 2022
mayhem
e.g. who owns copyrights, who write what song, who played on what track and what their splits are.
2022-09-16 25924, 2022
mayhem
(splits are how to split the rights on a track among the stakeholders of the track)
2022-09-16 25917, 2022
lucifer
i see, makes sense. all of the articles i found when searching for broken metadata are talking about that private metadata indeed
2022-09-16 25923, 2022
mayhem
and there are several companies who are working to fix the private metadata situation.
2022-09-16 25948, 2022
mayhem
problem is, both silly valley and the music industry come with this: "We must own 100% of the solution" attitude.
2022-09-16 25906, 2022
mayhem
but that is... well... not workable.
2022-09-16 25944, 2022
lucifer
yup, indeed.
2022-09-16 25944, 2022
mayhem
if you're interested in more of the details of the music industry, remind me in person, I can explain more.
2022-09-16 25954, 2022
lucifer
sure definitely!

Coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc
2022-09-16 25922, 2022
CatQuest
Just know that I don’t give eeffoc until I’ve had my coffee
btw lucifer: about that being able to remember things you wrote in the import "your username" box
2022-09-16 25942, 2022
CatQuest
would be great if i could jsut write "n" and the dropdown had the alstfm usernam already sine used it before
2022-09-16 25910, 2022
CatQuest
instead of typingit in every time and potentially getting it wrong and having to like.. delete my entire thing because re-importing everything after
2022-09-16 25955, 2022
lucifer
CatQuest, typing "n" getting the dropdown, i think that is a browser autocomplete feature.
2022-09-16 25901, 2022
CatQuest
yep
2022-09-16 25916, 2022
CatQuest
the earliest importfield box iterations had it
2022-09-16 25928, 2022
CatQuest
but it got lost somewhere in the having last/libre as well
2022-09-16 25932, 2022

they still do for me.
2022-09-16 25936, 2022

:(
2022-09-16 25941, 2022
CatQuest
not for me on olf ff44
2022-09-16 25946, 2022
CatQuest
so i guess a no fix
2022-09-16 25957, 2022
CatQuest
whoooo 1 727 596 listens
2022-09-16 25943, 2022
lucifer
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.
2022-09-16 25957, 2022
CatQuest
sure!
2022-09-16 25920, 2022
CatQuest
when are stats calculated?
2022-09-16 25929, 2022
lucifer

2022-09-16 25936, 2022
CatQuest
