lol AssertionError: unexpectedly None

we are trying too hard with all this fs interaction :(

i noticed that we have an inconsistency with utf8 vs utf-8

sampsyo, so.. to fix this kinda thing, what do we do?

RSRC = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), b'rsrc')

should we remove the b' and just wrap it all in bytestring_path ?

Yeah, that looks right—it looks like the consumers are expecting bytes.

hmm.. music question.. you ever heard of the controls?

Don't think so…

it's hard to search for

:)

and there's no wikipediage page.. except as a mention for the music producer who was involved

wikipedia page*

i had to use genius to figure out who the singer was. and worked backwards from there. as she was featured on an old aesop rock album

Whoa, that's some sleuthing

i need to find out what she's into now. as that was from 1999

that's gonna be a lot of bytestring paths

oh.. and then there's the times where we use b'something'.format()

:/ Yeah, that's a drag.

i took one and made it a join :(

temporarily

Seems fine, I guess.

cover_pat = b''.join([b"(\b|_)({", b'|'.join(cover_names), b"})(\b|_)"])

lol

try reading that

nice

they did start reallowing some .formatting in py 3.5 i think

i'm stuck on 3.4 atm

well not stuck

but in about 10 days i'll be updating to fedora 24, and will get a full 3.5 stack

usually fedora gets that kinda thing before any distro but rolling type ones.. but the schedule was misaligned for a cycle

oh.. btw.. pathlib didn't get a function to expand ~ until 3.5

Argh!

bringing all the good news right

os.environ['HOME'] = self.temp_dir cannot be bytes..

jrobeson: I did that performance measurement about `functemplate` and found something surprising (above).

I honestly can't believe it's been 4 years since I wrote that compiler. Feeling old.

sampsyo, i thought i noticed this!

"I investigated and found that, as you might have guessed, the code is written to invoke the compiler every time---so instead of compiling the template once, beets was compiling it 15 thousand times"

i figured it was reading it wrong though

i keep getting confused over things :(

tx.query("PRAGMA table_info(%s)" % table) - TypeError: argument 1 must be str, not bytes

that ain't bytes..

ah, it came from somewhere else (The call was coming from inside the house)

also sqlite doesn't accept bytes either

str only

even though i'm not having great luck with the tests, I can at least run beets from the cli

hello beets config

hello beets ls

anybody around?

Is there a way to let beet automatically keep the better quality file when adding new albums to the library?

so you're converting most things?

Nomads: this is a FAQ-ish question, but I don't recall the answer.

moar tests pass

finally getting somewhere

jrobeson, no. I don't convert stuff. I just want beet to keep like 320kbps of the same album if there's already a, say, 128kb version in the library. It'ld be good if it did that.

so why do you still ahve the 128kb version at all?

probably makes all the sense in the world, but I've never run into that problem

Because I don't/can't manually control all at all? And since beets already checks for items in the library, it'ld been better if it could also do a quality check at the same time.

Nomads, can't?

you should file a bug

sampsyo, there are certainly over 100 tests passing. . and can even run commands like beet info, beet ls (with a simple query), beet config, beet version, etc

sampsyo, and then i can even run the importer and get a matching album.. with option to import. I'm not brave enough to actally do that yet.

jrobeson | i had to use genius to figure out who the singer was. and worked backwards from there. […] -- you should add this information to MusicBrainz so future-you (or someone else) will not have to go through the same hoops. :)

i wonder if it is in musicbrainz.. it might be

i hardly ever think about it :(

it certainly doesn't come up in web search results on the first page or 2

I guess not enough people link to us.

i wonder if there's a ddg bang search for mb

that is duck duck go

i use duck duck go as my default

so it'd like to be able to say !mb <search>

maybe it already exists.

i'll have to look later when i wake up

!mb searches Artists on MusicBrainz

!mbwiki searches the MusicBrainz Wiki.

jrobeson: https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=musicbrainz

good day all, I have a question related to using an alternative musicbrainz mirror... is there a way to tell beets to use authentication (username/password) to access the musicbrainz mirror? Thanks!

paradox606, http://paste.ee/r/nDf6V

kinda like that.

Every time I start a terminal, I get a warning about lyrics google API key, presumably because I have beets auto-completion enabled, but this seems grossly unnecessary. Can I have beets not run any lyrics scripts and still get auto-completion? Or what gives?

Nomads: thansk!

Nomads: yeah I had tried this but had not had luck making it work... perhaps the order matters? I didn't have it in that order... I will try that out!

Which is the correct formatting for paths? %title{%the{$albumartist}} Or is it %title%the{$albumartist} ?

th0rne: Not really, unfortunately -- beets needs to load its plugins to provide completion, and that plugin appears to warn on load. Maybe you want to just disable the google backend for lyrics?

Nomads: The first.

howdy

i'm glad i didn't commit the wrapping of all map() with list() and the wrapping of all items() with list()

2to3 was overzealous
