#musicbrainz

hello can i request here please to whitelist my IP address ?

zas: ^

dali, what's your IP address (ipv4 & 6)? pm me

<08wileyfoxyx> hey there, is it intended that when switching to a language on test server to the one that's not officially suported yet it stays with English?

wileyfoxyx, it does change for me

which language are you trying to switch to ?

<08wileyfoxyx> to Russian but it stays on English

I have the same issue. According to weblate though, translation is 99% done in russian. Maybe it's an overssight, you should ask in #metabrainz, the devs are usually hanging out there

<discordbrainz> "<wileyfoxyx> hey there, is it..." <- can you rule out that it isn't the browsers preference? ie. if $problem, fallback to english?

<08wileyfoxyx> no, I have English set second in language preferences

yes, I mean that. can you disable that?

or maybe kick out english complete for the test?

<08wileyfoxyx> removed it completely, still not working

<08wileyfoxyx> i'm on Chrome 124.0.6367.63 x64 on Windows 11 22631.3527

just guessing...firefox has 2 options, regular language for browser and for the sites. sometimes one or the other disabling/shuffling around helps

ah ok...never used chrome 😉

<08wileyfoxyx> so as Chrome does, but you can't change the UI language without adding it for sites order first

another guess: maybe it has an automagic to force language based on your ip location?

<08wileyfoxyx> not sure if such magic even exists haha

google is sometimes a hellofadrug 😉

mr44er[m], russian doesn't work for me either and I'm in Canada

on the other hand I don't know if the problem here is the browser

ah ok

<08wileyfoxyx> just tried with Turkish, same thing

meh

reosarevok, is the test server updated less often than the main site ? some languages seems to be missing

<08wileyfoxyx> i can say yes

<08wileyfoxyx> can't send images from discord but it says last commit was on 2024-04-25

<08wileyfoxyx> meanwhile beta server was updated on 2024-05-02

I'm not sure what languages are even set up on test, I can take a look

Test is anyway updated to test specific things, not on a regular basis

(it still effectively gets updated relatively regularly, but)

is there a common key name for MB release / release group disambiguations in audio metadata? vorbis comment for example

beets seems to use "musicbrainz_album_comment" but wondering if maybe picard has any preferences on that

I haven't released test in a while, but it's perfectly possible that all languages not in beta just aren't being pushed to test at all at the moment. yvanzo might know

sentriz: no, Picard doesn't write those to tags by default and doesn't specify any mapping for disambiguation comments

oh right interesting

thanks

I would be in favour of pushing all languages with active translation into beta, but maybe there's a good reason we haven't

<08wileyfoxyx> and maybe add a header similar to the "This beta test server allows testing of new features with the live database" one

Well, test is mostly meant for testing only stuff the devs actively ask for help testing

reosarevok, wileyfoxyx: It might be an oversight in the way we are building the test image. I will try a quick fix.

Updating test.mb.o…

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out how musicbrainz gets the Extra information in the overview tab when you look for an artist, I see no requestion to wikipedia in the devTool: does anybody have a clue ?

Adrien5: you mean the Wikipedia abstract?

for exemple here in the below the overview tab:

yes

A lot are cached, so we might not be calling at all

And anyway IIRC the call is done by the perl server bits

I'll find it, one sec

Adrien5: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

Ho Thanks, I'm not a pearl expert Can I get back to you to ask you further question (if you don't mind ?)

Lotheric, wileyfoxyx: tr & ru localizations are now available on test.mb.o

<08wileyfoxyx> thank you, how long would it take for locale updates to get there?

Adrien5: sure - most of the important bits are not really perl, it's just the api calls :)

wileyfoxyx, test can be updated on demand

<08wileyfoxyx> how does that work?

wileyfoxyx, just ping us here.

how come qobuz has a different barcode to what listed here on musicbrinz? https://musicbrainz.org/release/ff9333b2-afe7-4...

also release date is different. According to qobuz, this came out on 12/08/2011 but on the musicbrainz, its listed as 2016-02-05 so what gives?

what should I do with conflicting dates for this ep https://musicbrainz.org/release/a5d13b28-d1e1-4... juno says it came out on 12 December, 2011 which is later than beatport 2011-11-27

* beatport 2011-11-27 is it the earliest date that takes precedence?

<04elomatreb> if it's otherwise the same release I would say yes

<04elomatreb> re: your qobuz release, it's not unusual to have different barcodes for some platforms (because of licensing mess or different distributors). A different barcode makes a new release

<discordbrainz> "<elomatreb> re: your qobuz..." <- ah ok when i tried adding the barcode, it said that its not a valid ean and to tick it was valid

<04elomatreb> might be a typo

yeah i was thinking that. qobuz seams to be very bad with metadata

<Goldmaster[m]1> "yeah i was thinking that..." <- deezer isn't better 😉
