#metabrainz

please duplicate, so I can nuke it from my account

ew

ZaphodBeeblebrox: a lot harder, but that'd be fun eventually

Well, not necessarily harder if it's not "stuff like X" radio, but just "a bunch of random recordings with instrument X"

mayhem: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/27e2997f-f7a1-43... + https://musicbrainz.org/artist/0ce302fe-c064-4b... (yes i'm weird)

reosarevok: https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/7ce282b8-8016...

I mean.. that was the general gist of it

ZaphodBeeblebrox: I can't imagine how random "guitar" or "drumset" radio might be, lol

imagine https://musicbrainz.org/instrument/c421096d-865... though

reosarevok: thanks for the examples :)

Also, I wonder if https://test.musicbrainz.org/place/create would be the right place to add new areas? As I understand, it looks like something different from "areas" that's usually added by manually submitting AREAQ issues on Jira

Thanks mayhem, duplicated! Aaaaand ugly youtube player error. The playlist looks good though! What I would expect plus a few interesting new bits and bobs

ZaphodBeeblebrox: https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/25fc4831-e123...

mayhem: hmm. Seems like more of "stuff similar to one *or* the other" than "similar to both" but I bet that's because not a lot of people listen to both. Although they should, some of that is fun almost-industrial pop, lol

if that's *still* too obscure how about https://musicbrainz.org/artist/0383dadf-2a4e-4d... vs https://musicbrainz.org/artist/b10bbbfc-cf9e-42...

oh

I think I'll enjoy the playlist though, so :)

Copied

reosarevok: I agree -- that is a weakness of the current implementation. if one artist is more popular than the other the results are skewed.

rarblarb

ZaphodBeeblebrox: did you duplicate the list?

uh oh

uhm can i do that later i have to do that on the other machine

i will tell you once i've done it

mayhem, monkey, aerozol: done.

Thank you :)

outsidecontext: that current pin API endpoint is also live.

Oh right, and reosarevok I think we should write some docs for the bot too :)

I am having a little hard time picking up the workflow with this particular repo. I can flesh out some docs if you can give me some general pointers for anyone who'd like to get started with the bot

ZaphodBeeblebrox: https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/f4e572c9-5359...

I think that one is going to be a bit odd. too mainstream, lol

lucifer: thanks!

lucifer: cool, I'll check it out

lucifer: thanks!

aerozol: this was the final version of it: https://listenbrainz.org/explore/

mayhem: wonderful

Yeah, nice work on that page team

mayhem: missed this until now… when I click on the YIM links they go to your page rob :)

thanks for making the design and monkey thanks for the coaching.

Hahaha

shit, lol.

It’s a nice page don’t get me wrong

it's ok, just quickly change it to "MY, yes, MY Year in Music"

ps

(I do like the page :) )

mayhem: Also... This is fine.

heh. :)

that page does end up being fun. :)

"404 Not Found: Cannot find user: [object Object]"

that doesn't seem better

is "[object Object]" not a valid username anmore?

currentUser.name on the url, mayhem

monkey: what is not right with the url= line?

<3

`currentUser` is the logged-in user

now it works, thanks to reosarevok .

Er.

Yep, thanks reosarevok :)

I've seen enough Object objects when I am being slow, heh

I object to those object objects

gah. hang on.

Or, as Phoenix Wright would say

[Object Oh no.]

OBJECT-OBJECTION!

OBJECTION

!recall oh no.

monkey: ^^ that one.

🦭 of approval

aerozol: remind me, how do you listen to music?

bitmap: do you remember if this is a regression or already the case last time? MBS-12964

MBS-12964: Batch create new works is missing the date fields https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12964

(it does seem like it'd be nice to have a way to set the dates on add, anyway, but not sure if bug or improvement)

mayhem: download via soulseek or redacted (both p2p), then play my library on desktop or Plex. Sometimes I stream on Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Youtube, when I’m just checking something out

Oh and purchase via Bandcamp of course :) And tapes and records

so, you have a personal collection, then?

Yup

#oldguy

bitmap: also, I'm rebasing https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... and checking if it needs more changes, if not I can merge and then we can maybe look at the next ones, etc :)

that's freaking great news. you can help me test shit!

ooh

well. given that you;re on windows, I'm no where near ready to have you test, sadly.

there, there

Oh, huh, that still passes

Let me know when you have something for me! We’ll run some non-platform specific tests on your patience in the meantime

because I have written a content resolver -- that takes a LB playlist and resolves it to local content.

I forgot about that! Really interested in that one

reosarevok: hmm, I think it's a regression

yes, it is an important element of our chain of making all this work.

let me come up to speed on delivering python programs on windows.

bitmap: maybe something to try to look into for the next release then :) If you have the time, it's probably faster if you do it, but if not I can try

outsidecontext: any tips on how to deploy a python command line program on windows?

aerozol: do you ever use the terminal/powershell or anything like that?

bitmap: also, surprisingly https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... still passes on master, so if no other tests fail now after my rebase and the heredocs thing seems fine I can merge it and start rebasing the next one in the chain :D

mayhem: absolutely never

mayhem: but happy to when needed

let me chat with outsidecontext about the best way to proceed. I'll get back to you.

np (goes to breakfast)

reosarevok: cool, I'll have another look, would be nice to merge it and avoid future conflicts

[listenbrainz-server] 14mayhem merged pull request #2385 (03master…fix-explore): Fix yim links https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

I guess I already approved it anyway

Yeah, but you left a couple comments

So maybe you want to check on those (IIRC I updated based on one)

mayhem: might depend on the audience. Installation with pip can work well if you can expect people to install Python. Otherwise I think PyInstaller will work well for creating a package that bundles python and everything needed

Mayhem: I'll be around in half an hour, then we can chat more if you want

outsidecontext, zas: How MB Picard behaves when a disc ID is associated with a different release? Does it suggest to (re)move the disc ID from it?

ok mayhem, i copied those playlist, you can balete them now

KassOtsimine: k

outsidecontext: thx. let me look at PyInstaller in the meantime

bitmap: updated https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... too then :

* :)

thanks!

yvanzo: no. if you look up a disc ID and there are multiple matching releases it will show a list of matches and the user can choose.

[bookbrainz-site] 14kellnerd opened pull request #946 (03master…search-query-encoding): fix(call-to-action): properly encode query parameters once https://github.com/metabrainz/bookbrainz-site/p...

mayhem: I never used PyInstaller for a CLI application, but it's supported

it sounds promising...

here is what I want to do: the LB content resolver takes a JSPF playlist and knowledge of a local music collection and matches the playlist to local content.

outsidecontext: Thanks, I’m asking because it’s been reported on #musicbrainz that XLD can only associate [disc ID] with one release.

ideally, this program could be installed as the system "JSPF Mime type" handler. it would parse the playlist and resolve it to a m3u playlist.

and for the final step, it should call the default application assigned to handle .m3u files.

does that make sense?

mayhem: associating the program with file types needs some registry entries I think. That would be the job for an installer, which is then a separate topic again (despite its name PyInstaller does not deal with the installing part, it merely creates a standalone bundle thing).

registry.

but this shouldn't be all *that* hard, right?

well, In my opinion building windows installers is a catastrophe. but no, it shouldn't be *that* hard :D

"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were easy."

can't argue that.

would there be any chance you'd be willing to build this installer for aerozol and myself?
