+--- Thread: Headphones - Music albums & artists auto download program (/showthread.php?tid=103688)
- Accidental - 2011-12-19
This is a newbie question about headphones.
I just installed and configured Headphones. I scanned my music library and the process is finally complete. I noticed that the matching is very literal. If my artist name does not match the online database exactly it does not match in Headphones
i.e. "Béla Fleck and The Flecktones" is the online database reference, but it doesn't seem to match to "Bela Fleck..." or "...& The Flecktones" from my catalog. It also doesn't match if The is there (or not) between the online DB and my catalog (i.e. "The Beatles" vs. "Beatles")
It seems to have the same 'exact/literal' matching on albums and songs. Is there a way for the program to accept slight deviations during the matching process? If not, is there a way to at least manually match up an album/artist and/or song with an entry in Headphones?

I agree with the above poster. There is nowhere you enter that. For awhile yesterday, the match was working and I got about 50 matches. Now nothing is working. I'm getting a different error now...

- ZestyChicken - 2011-12-20
I'm also finding that the system is failing to pick up any artists after the initial aborted scan. It got 54 of something like 250 and won't rescan...
...if I do a search for something obvious, like Billy Joel, it returns no results...

Yup, noticed this issue since yesterday. Looks like MusicBrianz recently updated their API to block headphones?

But as I can see from their API-Documentation, authentication is required, but headphones doesn't implement it (per your statements, I actually stopped using headphones since it delivers too many wrong matches on my artists and currently I can't see any updates).

well this is on their webservice page
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service/Version_2
Quote:Limiting Connections to the MusicBrainz Web Service
All users of the XML web service must ensure that each of their client applications never make more than ONE web service call per second. Making more than one call per second drives up the load on the servers and prevents others from using MusicBrainz. If you impact the server by making more than one call per second, your IP address may be blocked preventing all further access to MusicBrainz.
Identifying your application to the MusicBrainz Web Service
Starting on May 16th, 2011 the MusicBrainz Web Service requires all requests to have a proper User-Agent header that identifies the application and the version of the application making the request. Please do no use generic User-Agent strings like “Java/1.6.0_24″ or “PHP/5.3.4″ -- they do not allow us to identify the application making the request. On November 16, 2011 we're going to start blocking requests with generic User-Agent strings
so seems they are blocking things
maybe the code has these generic user agent strings ?
not a coder here
Henry Ford any other similar tool for us lazy people ?

sladinki007 Wrote:well this is on their webservice pageI definetly overread that part. So it could be either due to the user-agent or to the amount of requests. But I would think it is rather due to the user-agent, because if it was the amount of request there would be at least one successfull one.

Audiomatic looked good for a while (for Windows that is), but the dev. stopped the developement. Currently I am doing it just manually.
- sladinki007 - 2011-12-20
i had a look in the code
assuming i am a bit on the right path
/headphones/lib/musicbrainz2/webservice.py
guess this is the part that needs modifying
Quote: def _openUrl(self, url, data=None):
userAgent = 'python-musicbrainz/' + musicbrainz2.__version__
req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', userAgent)
return self._opener.open(req, data)
but here it stops for me
as i have no clue how to change it from here
guess changing it to python-headphones in this file will not do the trick
- sladinki007 - 2011-12-20
LOL
you never believe it
i changed this snippet to
Quote: def _openUrl(self, url, data=None):
userAgent = 'python-headphones/' + musicbrainz2.__version__
req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', userAgent)
return self._opener.open(req, data)
restarted headphones and it works LOL

Huh, what kind of editor did you use to edit the file? I assume you edited the py file and the rest was compiled at runtime

The text was pretty garbled looking in notepad. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to look? Have to try later tonight...
EDIT: Opened it on my MacBook and it looks fine. Go figure. Wil have to test this tonight!
