Hi all! I'm Theodor, a recent MSc graduate in computer science interested in using the GSoC 2024 program to get into open source and to continue contributing long-term afterwards. I am super interested in ListenBrainz and some of the ideas listed, but wanted to clarify something before delving into the technical part. When restricting my choice to
90-hour (small) projects, would it still be possible to participate given a full-time job? Of course, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't think "yes" myself. The proposed mentor for the ideas I'm interested in is "lucifer". Thank you.

is there some way to use the picard scripting language to deal with excessively long artist and [recording] title entries?
this is problematic for me for a variety of reasons.
or listing artists as "The Allman Brothers Band, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Pat Monahan, Eric Church, Jackson Browne, Vince Gill, Zac Brown, John Hiatt, Widespread Panic, Sam Moore, Keb' Mo', Brantley Gilbert, Dr. John, Warren Haynes, Susan Tedeschi, Devon Allman & Derek Trucks"

I'd like the scripting language to automatically change really long entries like this to e.g., "The Allman Band, et al."
or, perhaps even "The Allman Brothers Band, et al.
maybe something along the lines of ` if [lenght of artist field] > 30 characters use only the primary album artist` or something?
oh wait.
that's not going to change the artist field is it?
hey, you know what i just found out is that if you use control+alt+u to enter a unicode value that begins with 00, you can omit the 00.
e.g., ½ (00bd) is the same as ½ (bd)
and that gnome looks them up for you.
anyway, yes, this looks like this will address that problem.
also, it will strip , USA from everything if I want.

And it shouyld be a whole lot easier than writing a plugin. ;-)

f. yeah

Scripting is one of the most powerful features of Picard. It's amazing the things that you can do with just scripts.
iconoclast_hero
what os do you use?
rdswift
Linux mostly, but also Window (7 and 10, and soon 11).
iconoclast_hero
what do you use for file sharing? NFS? SAMBA?
ok, that script did some things... 30 is way too short...
rdswift
Both. NFS if it's supported and SMB where it's not.

when i had my server in another location i just started using sshfs because i didn't have to do much to set it up.
now that i don't need encryption because it is local, i tried using nfs again, but my client system (ubuntu 22.04) really dislikes it when it looses connection to the server if drives are mapped.
amazingly sshfs really competes well with nfs+ssh
ok, back to the tagging script.
%_artists_track_primary_std%
is this a normal field because when it truncates it's just spitting out , et al.
,
All tags are also available as variables, but additional variables which start with an underscore ‘_’ are not saved as Tags within your music files (e.g. _my_tag_not_saved).
