  • I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

    For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

    Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

    I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.

    Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

    The phrase “all the credit” is a bit sensationalist, and it’s too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that “Most of the credit” is vague and “All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades” is a bit too wordy.

    It’s important that we don’t weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.


  • They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I’ve been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

    I’m not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under “Various Artists”. As such, I’ve been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

    Subsonic doesn’t work for me, I’m guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.


  • There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

    Subsonic begat libresonic

    Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

    Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

    Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.






  • My limited experience with Agile is being forced to share the stage with half-hour soliloquies every morning**, so as long as the dev team doesn’t have to deal with poorly-managed scrums, I’m all for it.

    ** I made a failed attempt at reminding everyone that it’s called a ‘standing meeting’ partly because we’re supposed to stand for its entirety. If the average person is overcome by the urge to sit down, then the _weak_ly-chaired meeting has been going on for way too long.

    Edit: Instead of chair, I meant ‘scrum master’
