satyaraj, if you set the api_url to api.listenbrainz.org, and login on the local env, it should work

ah, got it. Thanks huhridge (IRC) !

<08wileyfoxyx> hello there, I already sent out a letter to the MetaBrainz email regarding this, but i'll repeat it here. since this morning MusicBrainz is not available in Russia. according to the service that checks the database for Russian internet restrictons, it was blocked because of the release “Токсидермисты городского безумия” by Пурген
blocked because of some 1999 punk rock album. That's wild. Probably not the only reason, I guess there are plenty of releases they would like to see blocked these days.

Hi theflash__ and pranavkonidena. I have left reviews on your GSoC proposals on the forum. Please fix things and let me know when done so that we can wrap this part soon

<08wileyfoxyx> Usually it would show that it was blocked because of multiple URLs, but in case with MB it displays only this specific release

akshaaatt (IRC): thanks for the suggestions, will update the proposal as needed. Also can we please migrate/rename the existing artist and album view models to something like BP view models because that would be helpful for when I start working on artist and album pages? We might need to do a room migration..
2024-03-19 07956, 2024
akshaaatt
Sure. So you are going to rename the existing artist album vm to BPvms and keep those separate from server related vms? Is that it pranav[m] ?
2024-03-19 07918, 2024
pranav[m]
Yes
2024-03-19 07928, 2024
akshaaatt
Cool. I am aligned on that
2024-03-19 07951, 2024
pranav[m]
Sure then will do 👍
2024-03-19 07936, 2024
akshaaatt
pranav[m]: can you also help write a logic such that ringtones, etc don’t show as music in the app?
2024-03-19 07923, 2024
akshaaatt
We should probably omit a few reserved folders where those are. Also, some cold start screens will also be good for users that do not have any local music for BP to work.
2024-03-19 07954, 2024
akshaaatt
“Get back to this section when you load some music on your device” or something like that
2024-03-19 07903, 2024
pranav[m]
Sure thing will do that.. will update the get songs or add artists function in the repo as needed
2024-03-19 07916, 2024
pranav[m]
I’ll have to research a bit as to where the ringtones etc are stored tho..
2024-03-19 07952, 2024
pranav[m]
But one thing, I personally love to download mp3 as my ringtones so won’t they still be showing up in downloads? I’ll need to research a bit.. I’ll keep u posted

hey outsidecontext I have a query regarding PICARD-187, if the second case (when all images are removed) is handled in the new proposed method `strip_selected_image()`at `picard/util/imagelist.py`, then can't we avoid any changes in the code of individual formats (as the changes are made directly into `metadata.images` of the audio file)?
2024-03-19 07904, 2024
Shubham
Also I am not sure on how picard handles when there is no coverart for any audio, does it assign the default `CoverArtShadow.png` to its metadata or its just for the ui ?
Shubham: The placeholder image is just for UI, it's not supposed to be written to tags. If there are no images Picard by default will not write images, so existing ones are kept
2024-03-19 07908, 2024
outsidecontext
I think we need to handle this as Picard does for other tags. There are three states:

yvanzo: I restarted solr on mb solr 5 as it was using excessive disk I/O since hours, I'm not sure why it happens, but it happens sometimes (once every few months), and only on this node.

Shubham: sorry, I stopped writing when you had dropped out. So now the rest:

1. A tag is filled with data. It gets written to the file and overwrites existing data
2024-03-19 07958, 2024
outsidecontext
2. A tag is not filled in Picard, the tag does not get written, which means existing data stays (by default)
2024-03-19 07958, 2024
outsidecontext
3. A tag is explicitly marked for deletion and hence gets removed from tags when writing. This requires specific implementation in the file format handling
2024-03-19 07932, 2024
outsidecontext
I think the cover art must do the same. if data is set it overwrites, if nothing is set it keeps existing. This is already working and will work with your implementation
2024-03-19 07956, 2024
outsidecontext
What is missing is that the user explicitly removed all cover art. The imagelist I think must have a "deleted" property or something that gets set if the user explicitly removed all cover art. If that is set cover art must be removed from files as well
2024-03-19 07912, 2024

does this make sense now?

"Russians, use a VPN" seems about as much as we can/should do about this

is there a way to live-reload the BB website? everytime i make a change i have to stop and start the docker which takes alot of time and computation. I tried to find ways to achieve live-reload but since i do not have any experience with docker, i failed. I need to know whether i should formally learn docker to contribute to this codebase?

Or maybe a another domain... Ukrainian?? !😂

:D well, I guess the whole internet might be blocked in Russia soon.... not sure it is worth the effort. Russian people often use VPNs and it seems many of those are now blocked too

Yeah, I am not going to put a lot of energy into this.

But registering a domain and serving mb from that, how much effort is that? Hardly any, yes?
2024-03-19 07924, 2024

We can try, but I guess we'll also have to deploy new MB containers (isn't there a config for domain on this side?)
It does say *names* but I honestly have no idea if it does support more than one, yvanzo might
2024-03-19 07946, 2024

I certainly haven't tried to support several

In case it isn't a ton of effort
2024-03-19 07942, 2024

Ok, I'll do after lunch and we'll see what needs to be done on MB side, I guess the simplest will be to deploy new containers or reconfigure existing ones.
