If you can make this work for Windows it would be awesome !!!

GeekShadow

@georges I'm looking at the code... what is genpuid.sh for ?

GeekShadow

@georges awesome !!!

i'm waiting joyously for the windaz version. i love you.

Wow, this sounds really promising. Musicbrainz integration is one of the things I've been waiting for a long time. I just wanted to know : what do you write exactly in metadata? Only standard id3 tags? Because musicbrainz Picard application writes other data like MBID which help identify your song in the musicbrainz database.
Can we disable MusicDNS fingerprinting and only search by using existing metadata (title, artist, album or length) to find missing metadata? Maybe it'll help save ressources and it should be efficient enough for most of the cases. It is possible on Picard (well actually, I never userd fingerprinting with Picard)

It looks like the mipcore and Genpuid processes start scanning as soon as the plugin is installed and songbird restarted. I encountered that this causes a problem with my MacBook Pro if the network drive is not connected. Then i have several processes of mipcore running crazy. Could you add an option to start the scanning process with a button and not automatic?

@georges
I understand your interest in making sense of track without names. Anyway, that's not how I'm using musicbrainz. I'm using it to maniacally tag every song as accurately as possible. And usually I don't miss a lot of information. Most of the time it's Album name, AlbumArtist, ArtistSortName and AlbumArtistSortname (I guess those will be really useful when SortName will be implemented (which I'm sure will be soon or later)), track number or cover. That's why I don't use fingerprinting. That's also why MBID is useful, it helps me keeping my data up to date with little effort. And I don't think I'm the only one person using musicbrainz this way (http://www.last.fm/group/Get+Your+Damn+Tags+Right Last.fm tag maniacs group).
Anyway, this addon seems to be a great step forward and I can't wait to see its improvements. Congratulation!

Massive memory leaks on windows.

tacoman359

Is there any way that I can contact you personally georges? I've got some crash reports and other information that may help you fix all the bugs in this addon.

alest

Why song table blinks balck when I select any of them?

alest

It seems that it for some reason reloads library data... :(

alest

"Massive memory leaks on windows." And constant crashes, unfortunally. :(

jokerigno

i have the same problem too...

Yex

No Match for every song...

nruest

any word on linux support?

Yves

I don't really get why you use shell scripts when you can use JavaScript and XHR2 ...
Whatever, are you still working on it, do you look for some help ?
Would be awesome, this add-on is promising :)

djpaulie

When will this be updated to support 1.0? I NEED MY BRAINZ! :)

mingolo

Exactly what I have been looking for. Are u also working on a linux support?

Cameron

I also would like to know if linux support is planned.

Cheers

sergioll

will be posible a new version? please. thaks.

flinty

not compatible with sb 1.0

Inspired

Is this going to be released for Linux also?
Thanks...

oshada

rex

Can we get this for 1.0?

trueshanti

kindly please update :-) .. tnx 10000x

I would LOVE to have this updated for use on Windows Songbird 1.1.1

mairondil

Just installed this tonight, I had to edit the install.rdf file before installing for 1.1.2 to accept this as a valid extension. Loaded up just a couple of songs so as to not overwhelm the library. Got "No match for: " for all the songs. Ran genpuid from the command line. Here's my results:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Songbird\extensions\scrubz@songbirdnest.com\lib\Windows

As you can see, genpuid works, but the extension still shows "No Match For: " in Songbird.

I also would like to echo those commenters requesting update for newer versions of Songbird as well as add my vote to the request for Linux support if that is possible. Thank you. :)

Why last release far is 8 month?

Rave

Sorry to ask this but i'm newbee on songbird and i would like to known how to install this extension on my 1.1.2 version.

Thx a lot

choicefresh

Pleeeease release the Windows version.

MartinB3

georges! Are you looking for folks to fix up this addon or help maintain the Windows version? I'd love to get this working for Windows without writing my own from scratch -- martin@mbs3.org.

getsome831

I gave up and just grabbed an external metadata handler. Found several here, tried the one they recommended. Worked great for me.

is very good

SongBirdLover

Any chance, that this incredible Add-On will work with Songbird 1.2.0 for Windows?

Where can I see the actual development status?

This idea to fingerprint every track via MusicDNS and then look up the corresponding metadata from Music Brainz would be so fantastic. Both sources would help to organize the songs with some few mouse clicks and enrich the data quality.

Actually I have to do this manually with MusicIP for fingerprinting, with Mp3tag to search in Musicbrainz and write the id3tags. It would save a lot of time, if SCRUBZ would do this inside Songbird.

SongBirdLover

Until now, I found the following facts (valid for Windows Vista):
a) After changing the install.rdf as mentioned by mairondil, Scrubz is running with Songbird 1.2.0

b) The search results from MusicDNS are stored inside files looking like a GUID, i.e. {826de94a-b463-4054-afa0-3da281ed8450}, saved in the path
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\YourName\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Songbird2\Profiles

c) This files containts songnames and
status="pending"
until the result from MusicDNS replace it with a puid like this
puid="0de0fff2-6c24-2e80-ecf9-30222da75fd5"

d) The problems seems to be, that even with such a found PUID, Scrubz actually doesn't read it correctly. I assume, that the function
finish: function()
in the file
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\YourName\Anwendungsdaten\Songbird2\Profiles\abc12l34.default.default\extensions\scrubz@songbirdnest.com\chrome\content\fingerprint.js
has a problem.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to code or even debug *.js
Maybe this function works and the following procedures can't get it or show it correctly in Songbird.

e) It is true that mp3 files, already correctly tagged with the PUID in the id3 frames MUSICMAGIC FINGERPRINT and/or MUSICMAGIC DATA are not detected. Such files are displayed with N/A in the Songbird row PUID as well.

Maybe this could help to find the problem?
Just let me know, if I should do some further tests.

SongBirdLover

It's me again:
I'm really not sure if it is because of 'Scrubz' or not but all my mp3 doesn't have id3tags anymore!!
Please be very carefull until I'm absolutely sure what the reason could be...

SongBirdLover

ALL-CLEAR!!
It seems that my 2TB external WD connected with USB on a XP-PC has "hidden" the id3tags. The tracks itself were still visible but without id3 information.

After a complete reboot of both - the PC and the external harddisc - the id3tags are appearing again and can be read by Songbird.

Sorry for any confusion...

SongBirdLover

After inserting many dozens of debug lines, I found a workaround .-)

Open the file 'fingerprint.js' like I wrote it above for d)
Search the line with the function
readResult: function() {
Inside this function, search for the line
this.results.remove(false);
Disable this line with two slashes // in front of this line. It should look like this:
//this.results.remove(false);

It seems that there is a windows security problem during the remove (=delete) attempt of the temporary files (I wrote about it in b)
If this file can not be deleted an error occurs:
Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsILocalFile.remove]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://scrubz/content/fingerprint.js :: anonymous :: line 1xx"

If you don't remove this files, the following scrubz-code seems to work as it should.

The PUID itself seems not to be written inside the mp3. At least I have not found any information inside my test mp3.

In my own tests, the PUID will be displayed in Songbird. Now I have to test how the identification works with Musicbrainz.

It would be great if someone could try this workaround and let me know, if it works for XP (I only have Vista Ultimate) and other users too.

trueshanti

sad it died :-(

albert

Any update here? Or replacement? I guess this is not compatible anymore for Songbird 1.4.

trueshanti

well .. that was quite easy .. no full test run yet in 1.4.3(mac) .. but it seems to work .. fingerprintcounter counting up not yet finished .. and no critical messages in the error console .. the following desciption may work for Linux and MAC both .. ntl i use MAC so try yourself ...

i manually downloaded scrubz.xpi and opened it in 'mc' ( midnightcommander [port install mc] ) on the cli and edited the install.rdf at line 15 , set the <em:maxversion> to 1.4.4 (or whatever) ... then symlinked the binaries in the lib/Darwin-subfolder to my private binary-path (:~/bin:) .. now i run tests ..

share your experience !

trueshanti

howto-fix-update: before i symlinked the binaries i manually installed the plugin (of course) .. the 'cd /Library/Application Support/Songbird2/Profiles/$SBPROFILE/extensions/scrubz@songbirdnest.com/lib/Darwin' .. and then symlinked ;-D

trueshanti

# cd ~/Library/Application Support/Songbird2/Profiles/$SBPROFILE/extensions/scrubz@songbirdnest.com/lib/Darwin

"and this forum-software sucks ;-p"

trueshanti

ok worked quite well (1.4.3 mac) .. but disabled it after indexing my library , for it slows SB down and filling up buffer-RAM .. hope it will be developed again :-)

KNT

Wee... neeeed... Linux.... suppooort...

lexei

Hey this isn't supported by songbird 1.4.3 Is there anything i can do to get it to work with this version of songbird? an alternative program? Maybe a date apon which this version will be editied?
