I Am Not Sure Why But It Seems My IP Address Has Changed.

If Your Trying To Connect To My Media Server (MC 9.0.137)

The Address Is: 66.57.192.129:80

Nice of you to share it King

I was just wondering, I left Chart Finder running over night and it found like 1500 lyrics for my tracks.
I was wondering if there's any easy way to submit these all to the local db.

I was then going to send you the db so that you can add all these lyrics to the ones you already have so that more can be found from the db search rather than having to go online - it'd speed it up for other users a LOT.

Also, two points about Chart Finder:
1. Would it be possible to include a 'Pause' button just to pause it where it is then carry on later.
2. Is there any way to stop it demanding to be in focus while it's running? It means it's impossible to do any other work on the machine while it's going which is why I can only run it when I'm asleep.

not yet, been thinking about it.

been thinking after compiling a list that you can have a change to e-mail it to me as an attachment so i could then include this into the main database.

Maybe as long as you do not exit the program

A work around is to hit the button "edit tags" this will pause the program.

No the way it works (Because i suck as a programer) is it needs to gain focus of the browser window (you can't see it) then select the data on it and then chop it down.

What Language are you programming it in?

I'm not sure if you've ever used IRC but if you have, if you go on efnet then go into the name of whichever language you use (ie if you use vb  /join #vb)  the rooms are full of programmers in there, some of whom are amazing. One of them might be able to help with this as it sounds like it's probably a minor part of the program that results in a major pain

Rhino or one of the other coders on here might have an answer as well?

Just because the plugin works so well, this one side is a big downer for it.


I've also been thinking about throwing something together to trawl those sites I mentioned to you before and see if I can compile a db with all the artists/albums/lyrics the sites contain. If I manage to do it I'll e-mail you a copy of it.
The only down side for me is I program in php which isn't too good for doing long tasks.

The idea behind it is pretty easy though.
php can read in webpages so I'm just gonna make it read in the page,
put each new table it finds into an array filled with each row as an value in the field, then do a count on all the tables to see which one has the most rows - I'm gonna presume this is the one that has all the info, then just parse through it quickly to read in all the artists, etc.
After the first run through to find the artists it'll then use this to create the new pages to go view to find the tracks for each artist.

My biggest problem will just be hoping that a php page can continue running for long enough to do all this without IE dying

I'd do it in another language but I dont really have the time to learn a new one for something so simple
I will do when I get some more free time.

Working great! Never ceases to amaze me to see such a large library - cant imagine what the full 130,000 looks like. Thanks for sharing.

Its fun to think of a name or title of something I havent heard in years, type it in and most of the time its there.

I really must try ChartFinder.

I can't seem to get this to work.

I'm using Library Manager to create a new library, and for location I'm putting in King's address, 66.57.192.129:80, but then when I try to Load it, MC tells me it can't connect.

Am I doing this wrong? Could it be a firewall issue? I wouldn't think so, since King is using port 80, which is what web browsers use... Any ideas?

Media Server is limited to 3 connections.  It could be that.

>> Am I doing this wrong?
are you using 9.0.137?

Just tried again - still working here, and I did nothing more than Doof. FWIW Im on MC 9.0.135, not the latest version.
