        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

        • 2024-02-24 05515, 2024

      • amth
        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?

      • iconoclast_hero
        I'd like the scripting language to automatically change really long entries like this to e.g., "The Allman Band, et al."

        • 2024-02-24 05532, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero

        • 2024-02-24 05545, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        maybe something along the lines of ` if [lenght of artist field] > 30 characters use only the primary album artist` or something?

      • rdswift
        iconoclast_hero: If you have the "Additional Artists Variables" plugin enabled, you can do something like the following in your file naming script:

        • 2024-02-24 05535, 2024

      • rdswift
        $if($gt($len(%artist%),30),%_artists_track_primary_std%\, et al.,%artist%)

        • 2024-02-24 05536, 2024

      • rdswift
        Use this instead of %artist% and it will shorten the list. You can also do something similar with %album_artist%.

        • 2024-02-24 05537, 2024

      • rdswift
        To shorten long titles, instead of using %title% I use something like:

        • 2024-02-24 05538, 2024

      • rdswift
        $if($gt($len(%title%,30)),$left(%title%,27)...,%title%)

        • 2024-02-24 05522, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        I assume that is for the file name?

        • 2024-02-24 05550, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        in reality, i realized that scripting is probably not my answer. it's probably learning python and writing a plugin.

        • 2024-02-24 05532, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        since what I'm actually looking at is what mpd is reading from the tags that picard saves to the .flac i am listening to.

        • 2024-02-24 05553, 2024

      • rdswift
        So you need to shorten the length of the tags? That can easily be done by using a tagging script like

        • 2024-02-24 05554, 2024

      • rdswift
        $set(artist,$if($gt($len(%artist%),30),%_artists_track_primary_std%\, et al.,%artist%))

        • 2024-02-24 05511, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        tagging script?

        • 2024-02-24 05515, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero is intrigued

        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.

        • 2024-02-24 05553, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        e.g., ½ (00bd) is the same as ½ (bd)

        • 2024-02-24 05513, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        and that gnome looks them up for you.

        • 2024-02-24 05531, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        anyway, yes, this looks like this will address that problem.

        • 2024-02-24 05547, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        also, it will strip , USA from everything if I want.

        • 2024-02-24 05528, 2024

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

        • 2024-02-24 05535, 2024

      • iconoclast_hero
        f. yeah

        • 2024-02-24 05551, 2024

      • rdswift
        Scripting is one of the most powerful features of Picard. It's amazing the things that you can do with just scripts.

        what os do you use?

        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
