To install the perl modules, run the following commands

will these updates be pretty quick? I'm running this on an atom pc and the initial db creation takes forever.

The commands above are quick, yes. But i haven't found a way to convert from standalone mode to slave mode without dropping the database and reloading it. It's the drop and reload that takes the time.

Gotcha. Thanks again for the mirror iso, I had it up and running and everything seemed to be working really well. I did run into an issue dropping the database, it kept saying another user was connected. I was able to fix it like this if it's useful to anybody else:

gain access to the database service

Quote:postgres

kill all open connections

Quote:select pg_terminate_backend(procpid) from pg_stat_activity where datname='musicbrainz_db';

I was then able to dropdb as instructed

Post processing of Weird Al REALLY made it mad. Here's what directory name it gave me:

ΓÇ£\ΓÇ£Weird AlΓÇ¥ Yankovic


The artists tags did work correctly using "Weird Al" Yankovich though.

I dont get all this talk about a dedicated server for musicbranz etc.. is this needed for this app now to run? can someone update the first post with all this information. I know someone just posted the webstie to donate for the dedicated server however would be nice to have all this info on 1st post etc..

Rembo's server is well worth the donation. My headphones flies now

Hope someone can help, I've just donated and everything went great with fetching the artist and album information. But when I try and mark an album as wanted I either get the following error message when inputting my newzbin details: 500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\HTPC-Apps\HeadphonesDonated\headphones\searcher.py", line 361, in searchNZB
sizenode = item.getElementsByTagName("report:size")[0].childNodes
IndexError: list index out of range

Or if I uncheck this and just leave my nzbmatrix details I get an error fetching data from nzbmatrix (urlopen error timed out). Help!

EDIT: So I've tried it using NZB'sdotorg and nzb.su and all seems fine. However, as nzb'sdotorg is closing soon according to their main page and nzb.su requires a donation it would be nice to get nzbmatrix and/or newzbin working again. Many thanks!

The donate server is not needed for headphones to run, but it guarantees you speedy searches . You can also use the free server from tbueter.com, the original MB server or you can set up your own.

You can register from the link in the headphones config page, and then select the 'headphones' server accordingly. If you do that you get the possibility to fill in your registration details.

@Fryster,

NZBmatrix is/was having api and rss issues. They say they have solved the problem now, but due to high traffic load it could take a while before you can access their api again. See: http://nzbmatrix.info/

About nzbs.org; they are not closing down, it's just an api change. Headphones however is not updated to use the new api yet, so you have to wait for rembo10 to change the api for nzbs.org

Have two questions:

1) What exactly do the intervals for search, download scan, and library scan mean? Download-scan appears clear (checking nzbs for wanted movies?), but what's the difference between search and library scan? Also, is it possible to complete de-activate library scan?

2) I have donated to the new private server, but still facing issues with search. What works well is to scan the library (without automatically adding the artists). When I then add selected artists (in the "manage new artist" tab), it still does not properly work. It usually starts well, but then stops at some random point (and doesn't start again). I believe this is caused by some selected songs, but am not sure. No info in the logs at all. Not even an error message. Any thoughts?

My server (tbueter.com) is not available anymore since the server was eating up my VPS' resources...
