hi, all. Quick query: some months ago, a user deleted the CD medium from a CD + DVD release. I noticed the issue today and restored the CD medium, but the numbering is off: the first medium is 'CD 2', while the DVD (which I moved down) is now 'DVD 3'
<12lazybookwyrm> Yeah, I understand what's going on. Just edit it and move the cd medium up. It's weird because you're not really moving it up, but hitting the up arrow will put it back to CD 1 and then you do the same for the DVD to make it DVD 2
Greetings. Cannot connect to musicbrainz.org both from home and from work (russian IP). Can someone check please?

<12darkloke> I see. Well, RKN is widely known here to block a lot of "false positives", so lets hope its just another mistake. I suppose they simply saw some submitted album, that "triggered" them.

<12darkloke> Ok, i think i will live so far with MB on vpn since i use it for tidal anyway. I have a question regarding Picard and its option "translate artist names to these locals where possible" - i suppose this option works only with tracklist level artists and doesnt work for "default" artist name? I am asking coz as i see it doesnt change a composer name for example.
darkloke: I think it should work with the default artist name - do we have the alias?
2024-03-25 08556, 2024
discordbrainz
<12darkloke> Unless i am doing something wrong... Tested on this artist: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/8bcb4a54-2cf7-467e… He has an alias - i also set it as "primal" for english and legal. Then i enabled option to translate in Picard and refreshed the data - artist name changed and composer - not.
2024-03-25 08537, 2024
reosarevok
Oh. It might be it doesn't work on things like composer. outsidecontext or zas would know. It seems like if it doesn't it probably should :)
2024-03-25 08551, 2024
discordbrainz
<12darkloke> I see. I just thought it would be nice to have a local "replacer" list to use in Picard. Like hosts file:artist_mbid - your name spell variation. Would be nice to have in cases when you dont like a default artist name and cant changed it due to editors conflict.

arkloke: you can use scripting for this and set the artist name based on the musicbrainz_artistid
2024-03-25 08543, 2024
outsidecontext
something like "$if($eq(%musicbrainz_artistid%,123),$set(artist,Your Preferred Artist Name))"

hi all. Is there a way, to specify only to use/ overwrite the Album/ track cover art, when it's a higher resolution than it already has? While still keep the option enabled, to import/ use local file covers?

thejoker8814: you mean in Picard? no, that's currently not possible. But there is a feature ticket for it

add cover art: is there a way to link to the cover art for a bootleg on archive.org? I don't want to deal with uploading files from my machines.

if I submit an edit for an release group's name; once it will be accepted, will that change affect the name of all releases as well?
2024-03-25 08503, 2024
thejoker8814
to be concrete, some one added an EP in the RG name, which is a little bit odd, because we have the primary type field for it, right? As it seems that also was applied to the 3 releases under the RG. Need I to submit 4 edits, one for the RG name and one for each release name?
2024-03-25 08557, 2024
reosarevok
thejoker8814: no, the releases should be edited separately (you can change the RG while changing the releases but not the other way around)
2024-03-25 08517, 2024
reosarevok
Keep in mind though that sometimes you actually want EP on the title (when it's on the cover as part of the name)
2024-03-25 08507, 2024
thejoker8814
reosarevok: Yes, I thought as much. Thanks. Wasn't aware that's a thing to be honest, I will have a look at the covers again, before I continue.
