No logfiles?

In this early state of this program would it be nice to see debuglogs for bugsquashing and testingpurposes.
Logging for sure needs te be done for:

• when searching for nzb's providers RSS-feeds (after a click on want for an album it should start logging)
• when adding a path under manage
• force check wanted albums
• force Update active artists
• when communicating with external sources, like sending to sabnzbd or nzb-providers.

Req: Show what albums you currently have

Right now when you add artists, it shows all albums as "skipped" status. It would be nice to see what ones you already have and maybe some details about it like quality. Then you could make the decision to either look for a higher quality version, or leave it as "downloaded" status.

Req: Multiple Newznab providers

Possibility to add several newznab providers

This is the error I got after getting a different error, somehow relating to the headphones.db file - creating the file and giving it permissions 777 results in the above error. It looks like the problem is that the database was never initialized - how can I do this manually?

Consistent Issue on Mark Wanted

To reproduce, grab the latest version from Github, configure with all search providers & SAB integration.
Restart to pick up changes.
Add KISS as artist.
Navigate to the KISS page.
Try to mark Psycho Circus, or Revenge, as Wanted.
Other albums may work, Crazy Nights for instance.

Req: Configurable base url to allow use behind a reverse proxy

Couch Potato and Sickbeard allow you to specify a baseurl in the config file which allows makes using a reverse proxy a possibility. Would you please consider adding support for this in your app? Thank you and thanks for Headphones!

Need to have artists rescraped occasionally

I added David Cook couple weeks ago, since then musicbrainz has added a new album for him, my headphones install doesnt show it.

ALAC Support

All my music is in Apple Lossless, but it doesn't seem to be found by Headphones. I'm running FreeBSD 8.2 and I have the alac port installed.

Also, will we have a post-processing script to convert FLAC to ALAC and add it to iTunes?

Ignoring all artists with no US-releases?

thx for the logging. I discovered you check for US release, and if not, it doesn't add albums.
I do not know why that is, but there are also artists only releasing in their own countrys.

For example, Amy MacDonald, has only GB releases. She will be added to the database with no albums.
For now I solved it by updating webserver.py and updater.py with the folowwing:
for event in results.releaseEvents:
releasecountry = ['US','GB']
if event.country in releasecountry:

I would push this as a merge-request if I knew how to do that, but also I am not confident enough of my python-coding to do so allready. If you want such small changes to be pushed I will do so.

Only question, why should headphones limit to US releases only? Isn't it better to show all releases, but with the shortcode for a country behind it, so users can choose theirselves?

Or even better, make it a config option to prefer country's (let users create list like US, GB, JP etc... ) and try searching for US release first, then GB etc...

Request: Support for alternative album info sites.

In my opinion, MusicBrainz is pretty terrible. Most of the time, artist discographies are not updated on the site accurately. It would be nice to use another more reliable site like AllMusic.com

Req: Min/Max bitrate for MP3

I know for myself I don't really care, but thought this could be maybe a item that could be added. Some people like to have a specific range for the Mp3's they try and grab, ie. within 192 to 320kbps

I don't know if this could be done, possibly with the search through a nfo file etc...

Like the updates as of late though, good work.

Crash when one artist is found

If you do a search for Achilea only one is found, so headphones tries to add immediately to the database, resulting in a crash, and it won't add the artist:

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, Artist found

Special Characters

I know - this is going to be a pain in the ass, because special characters are always...well special.
There are several artists with "stylistic" names which makes it impossible to add them via folder scan, because you cannot use some special characters in the filesystem.

Examples:
Musicbrainz lists (hed) p.e. with the first "e" turned around, while you cannot set this on Windows-filesystems you have to use the name (hed) p.e. - headphones won't find anything subsequently, because MusicBrainz does not list "(hed) p.e." but only with the turned around "e".

There are more characters where I am sure they are used by artists, but not supported on some filesystems - the question mark for example will be rejected by Windows.

The easiest solution wouldn't be for headphones though - dealing with this will be a pain in the ass. It would be nice if MusicBrainz would implement "aliases", so different names which the artist is also known under. I do not know if you have contact with the devs there, but judging by your posts you do. Maybe you can push them in that direction?
It would make handling special characters much, much easier :)

Might be nice to add a track count or something to the meter also. Like 12/14 tracks. Also would be nice to know how many of those are "bonus tracks".

I am using the most recent code and have tried multiple times. I tried just running the same xml file again and it runs through the first 21 not adding anything (they are already add) then tries to add the 22nd and does that. I also tried deleting and starting from scratch. Still didn't work.

Thanks!

Not Moving To My Music Folder.

Excellent project and glad it's finally in the making!! :)

I do not use iTunes.
I use XBMC and all this needs is the music in a specified folder.
When XBMC loads, it then scrapes the folder.

I have set both my iTunes folders (in Manage and Settings) to my Music Store Folder. But nothing gets moved and the status does not change to downloaded. Is it meant to?

The system I am using is Linux CommandLine supplied as an OS from XBMCLive.

Everything stays in my SabNZBd Music Folder.

Are you planning on creating an init.d script to auto-load headphones on startup?

Request: Use file/folder names instead of ID3 tags to search music collections

Is there any way to build in an option to use File/Folder names rather than looking at your music collections with ID3 tags? I have a lot of music, and some of the tags might either be incorrect, or missing. Also, a lot of albums are compilation albums that might have artists that I'm not sure about, but when they're scraped by this program, it lists them as though I might have some of their full albums when in fact I just have a song that they produced that ended up on some soundtrack or something.

500 error

I can't seem to get very far with importing my iTunes library. Here is the latest log http://pastebin.com/DcdU9Uin
I just downloaded the most current version before I tried this.

nzbs.org - correct RSS-URL

Hi,

currently nzbs.org isn't working because nzbs.org requires to use either "catid" or "typeid" when searching via RSS.
An example for Lostprophets - The Betrayed:
Currently headphones uses this URL:
https://secure.nzbs.org/rss.php?dl=1&i=$id&h=$hash&age=1000&q=Lostprophets+The+Betrayed+2010&action=search

But there won't be a RSS provided on that URL - you have to use this instead:
https://secure.nzbs.org/rss.php?catid=5&dl=1&i=$id&h=$hash&age=1000&q=Lostprophets+The+Betrayed+2010&action=search

Greetings,
HenryFord

Request: SSL Support

SSL / HTTPS support would be nice. This is kind of a given, due to the nature in which this program could be used. :)

Request: Alternate Version Support

After an album is fetched, there should be an option to download the album again but from an alternate release group. Couchpotato has this feature, and Sickbeard is building it in also. This is very helpful if for whatever reason the version you downloaded was incorrect or corrupt in some way.

Request: If you already have mp3 version of an album, find the FLAC version

I have a lot of MP3 albums, but I'd like to find the FLAC replacement for most of them. It would be nice to have a little button next to albums that you have in MP3 quality that would say something like "Find the FLAC version of this album".

Request: Add support to scrape cdArt from fanart.tv

Another great feature would be to add support for scraping cdArt from fanart.tv for albums that you currently have, or scrape the art for new albums when they are downloaded.

Baseurl

At the moment I'm trying to use headphones just like I use couchpotato and sickbeard. But I'm struggling with one problem: the baseurl. Currently i edited my httpd config so urls like http://server/headphones/ goes to http://127.0.0.1:8181/. Now I just have to forward one port.

Is it possible to add the option just like couchpotato does: baseurl. So it adds the baseurl before the normal URL's in the page.

Request: Auto update feature

Please add a integrated update feature, just like CouchPotato and Sick Beard have.

Request: NZB Blackhole

My NZBs dont seem to be adding to SAB. Could we please have a blackhole option so that it could be consistent with the rest of my software?

That would be great!

Thanks for all the great work on this script!

Not all music is listed

I have a music library stored on a network share. Here is the path I'm using: \server\music

Headphones started finding my music, but only found about 4 artists out of about 150 that are on that share. There is no difference in the naming scheme or anything like that.

If I manually add an artist that I already have in that location, it shows up in headphones, and the albums are shown as "have" status correctly. So I'm just not sure why hardly anything is getting picked up.

Empty artists in searchresults

If for example, you do a search for artist (or add an artist), e.g. Enigma, it returns four Enigma's, three containing no albums. It happens with more artists (e.g. Bonobo, which returns 2, 1 without albums).

It needs a check if there are albums found for an artist, before it shows the artists on http://localhost:8181/findArtist?name=enigma, or perhaps shows the amount of albums found behind it like so:
Enigma (more info) 4 albums
Enigma (more info) 0 albums
Enigma (more info) 0 albums
Enigma (more info) 1 album

Now the only check is if there is a result (result is artistname). If no results, it shows a blank page. If there are results, it shows the artists, but the user needs to click all results to see which one of the artists (if all the same) contains the albums and that's the one that needs to be added.

Request: Add check boxes next to albums wanted

More of a sickbeard approach here, but I think you should use check boxes next to albums, then at the bottom have a button that says "download selected albums" or something along those lines. Or "change selected albums to Wanted status".

Install as daemon

I wanted to install this as a daemon on my headless ubuntuserver, but didn't see an init.d file, so I created one (edited couchpotato's initd file)

I have no time to pull and push this file on the system I am currently working on, so I thougt this would be the fastest way to get it to you, so you could merge it yourself for others to use
download it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18712538/Headphones/headphonesinit.d

usage:
adjust settings in file (installpath and run as user)
copy/move it to /etc/init.d/headphones
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/headphones
sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/headphones defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/headphones start | stop | reload | restart

BTW, great effort in writing this, the long awaited application by many! KUTGW

Green "have bar" overfills frame

The green bar for "have status" overfills the frame it should be confined to. See here: http://i.imgur.com/Sp0fj.png

Request: List what source was used to find the nzb file.

In the history section, the source of the NZB file should be listed also. Sickbeard does this, and it's very helpful sometimes.

503 Error when importing iTunes library

Ubuntu with python 2.6.6

When adding importing my itunes library xml, I get this after a few seconds (this is with some artists already added through the import tool):

Duplicate Albums

Although this is 100% better there are still some dupe's coming in. Marcy Playground for example Leaving Wonderland... In a Fit of Rage (link) release date 2009-07-07. The dupe is even the same release date.

Ascii error when scanning current music

When scanning my current library, I get the following error in the logs:

14-Jul-2011 10:01:50 - ERROR :: CP Server Thread-8 : Unable to complete the scan: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf1 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

I would be happy to rename the offending file/folder. However, there is no information on what that file/folder may be.

Suggestion: Add more verbose information in the logs to detect what files/folders are currently being scanned and/or fix the ascii issue that is being detected.

Thanks for your work,
Ben

Request: Show number of artists / albums in a list.

It would be nice to have some kind of numerical count for any type of list that is shown. Something like this:

Artists: 356

Or if you're in album view:

Albums: 6

Enhancement: Add details / descriptions about what some options do.

There are a couple options that are pretty vague.

What exactly does "Add album art" do? What does "Delete leftover files" mean exactly? "Rename and add metadata"? What metadata is added?

A little explanation about the options in parenthesis or something would be nice. If not that, then maybe some Wiki pages talking about what they do.

Request: List recently added itunes music store albums by genre

It would be nice to have a page that you could go to that would show you recently added music in the itunes music store (I'm sure there's a way to scrape that data from apple.), then you could click on a genre that you want a listing of, and add artists to your headphones database from there.

I currently look in itunes to see what music has recently come out and the listen to a quick sample to see if I like it. It would be cool if a simple version of this was integrated into headphones. This would make it so the user could stay in one setting to view new items, possibly listen to a sample, and then download the album.

Won't start: KeyError: 'Newznab'

After pulling the latest version, starting headphones fails.
