Headphones : Music albums and artists auto download program

[brianafischer]

I have a large library that I would like to manage with headphones. I think headphones is great for showing current and upcoming albums. I get most of my music from the Amazon MP3 store and had a few questions:

1. What determines the order that the music directory is scanned? When looking at the logs, it does not seem to propagate in alphabetical order. Is there a way to display some more details on what the scanner is doing?

2. How long should a scan take (on a per album basis)? I have about 800 artists processed over 12 hours.

3. Is there a way to prevent various artist compilations from adding all individual artists? It would be preferred if a compilation shows up under a special category.

Were those files in the folder before ? Or did HP download them ?

Do your logs tell you anything ?

This albums were not anywhere on my drives before. They was downloaded in another temp directory with SABnzbd, and moved to HP's complete folder, witch I presume is used for processing and moving files to the destination folder. I'll check the logs when I can. I've been away from my setup for a while. If I remember correctly there was no log entries after the NZB's was returned to the "processing" folder.

Just to be totally sure here.... Headphones does not have problems with Mapped drives does it? I entered a problem with this on another app a few days ago.

HP does not look in a folder automaticly for new downloads , you need to manual start this.

It does auto post-process downloads it send itself to sabnzbd+

hi

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. I've setup Headphones to download to SABNzbd but nothing is being received by SABNzbd. I've set up SAB API key, password, etc.

This is what i'm running:
- SAB version 0.6.9
- Headphones version e9a1e55 (e9a1e5522a04268690edf2c921906bdafc95c3a7)
- Python version 2.7.2

I'm getting this error when adding a track (password, etc. is xxxx'ed out!):
2011-09-25 10:59:01 ERROR Unable to connect to SAB with URL: http://localhost:8082//api?ma_password= ... music_head

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Cheers
Sunil

Is it possible to develop an integration with Shazam or SoundHound?

Here's a scenario:
- Unknown song heard in store
- Poll song with iPhone using Shazam/SoundHound
- Forward result to Headphones
- Download by SabNZBd
- Stream back over iPhone using AirPlayer

After polling for a song both apps allow you to share the results using Twitter.
What I am imagining is to have Headphones follow a Twitter account dedicated to Shazam / SoundHound results and amend the Artist into the database. Not unlike how the Last.FM feature in Headphone currently works.

In a perfect world this step would be automated, but I understand that Headphones doesn't automatically look for new Artists / Albums. So This step would have to involve opening Headphones web interface remotely and forcing the update.

So i`ve been busting my head about this issue i`m having with Headphones and I can`t figure it out.

No matter what I do, Headphones keeps saying:

Code: Select all

02-okt-2011 00:45:10 - INFO :: MainThread : Checking to see if the database has

It doesn`t matter which port I try, everyone gives the same error. No logging about an error whatsoever. Anybody have an idea?
I even tried porting an config.ini to the system:

As you can see, pretty basic stuff, but yet it doesnt allow me to run Headphones. I`m running on a Windows Home Server, maybe that has something to do with it? Anybody got any pointers, tips, solutions to this problem?

I'm assuming SAB is running on 192.168.1.100:PORT. Try http host 0.0.0.0 instead of 192.168.1.100 and put the 1.100 addy in your SAB option with port.

Also, you did install python and are running the headphones.py via python, correct?

I have the following problem. In the evening I do get always this error:

I have already checked my API setting is Headphones and they seem good.

The strange thing is during the day it seems working. Any ideas?
I am using NZBmatrix as my provider.

[recoil]

I really like the sound of this program but can someone please write me a complete n00d walkthrough of installing it. I have SABnzb, Sick Beard, and Couch Potato working, buy for the life of me I cant install this.

[recoil]

Ignore me, I was being a dick really should start to read things

VA.Now.Thats.What.I.Call.Music.79.2011-2CD is larger than the maxsize for this category, skipping. (Size: 329515008 bytes)

I can find other music I added "red hot chillies" downloaded there album perfectly

[jasonnm]

Hi guys,
I love the idea of Headphones - as a Sickbeard user I was hoping to find something similar for music - but I seem to have two problems:

1. it's been scanning my iTunes library for the last 15 hours or so, and still only shows 29 artists on the Home page (my iTunes library has over 700) - tried restarting the app but still no luck; and
2. if I change an album to wanted on any artists page, I get a 500 Internal Server error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/Jason/Headphones/Headphones/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 645, in respond

sizenode = item.getElementsByTagName("report:size")[0].childNodes
IndexError: list index out of range

I've seen that some people have had a similar problem, but the changes they made to fix it don't work for me. Anyone know what "IndexError: list index out of range" means??
Anything I can try to make the other 630 artists appear in my Home page??

Thanks for your help!!
Cheers,
J

im trying to install headphones but i keep getting this from the .py http://imageshack.us/f/695/unledpos.png/

[rembo10]

ziv_ew - try upgrading python if you can. i think configobj requires >2.6

scanning shouldn't be taking that long - well it actually depends..... to actually scan my library, it takes about 5 minutes for ~2000 songs. Importing them (i.e. querying musicbrainz, adding all the info, etc) takes about 1 minute per artist on average for me. Planning on speeding this up soon, but it's hard to figure out how to sync the database since musicbrainz is always changing.

jasonnm - what providers are you using? i only use nzbmatrix and nzb.su so i haven't really tested it extensively with anything else. seems like it also might be stuck on that 30th artist. I haven't had this issue so I'm not really sure what's causing it - special characters seem to work fine but maybe there's something in there that breaks it.

recoil - that tokening thing that we put in works pretty well in most cases, but not when there's an apostophe. seems like it's pretty hit or miss with that - will be resolved soon

anyways, i hope you guys are liking it so far - torrent support got added in today, and i'm planning another pretty decent sized update soon :-)

[ziv_ew]

i had python 3.2, i installd 2.7 and it workd. im having truble importing my music library, can i contact you on skype or msn for support on this?

Edit: never mind it started importing...i think it would be cool if you added a more obvious way to tell that it is in fact importing... like a status bar or something
