Unable to import CDDB info with latest SVN

Hello,

Migrating from KDE 3.5 on mandriva 2009.0 to KDE 4.2 on mandriva 2009.1,
I'm encountering problems with tellico:

First I must say I rapidly upgraded the version to the SVN version (and
pushed it to cooker as well at the same time, as the native version is
too buggy)

Then with th latest SVN version I have the follwing issues:

1/ I'm unable to import a CD content by reading it, and making a cddb
query. K3B gt's the info correctly, but not tellico for the same CD.

2/ No i18n seems to be available (typically for me no french msgs).

Thanks in advance to tell me if those are known problems or not, and
if/how to fix them.

Greetings,
Bruno.

I think that should be fixed now.

All the i18n messages moved, since Tellico is in KDE svn now. I'm still not
sure how to build packages which include both doc and i18n. I need to ask
for help from the extragear folks. I'll probably check into how amarok or
digikam is handling it...maybe that's why you don't have fr?

Yes. I rebuilt the version of today, and had it work !

However, now that it's working, I have another request ;-)
It seems that for new CD imported, the table of tracks is limited to 6.
First the others are not imported, and then when you add them manually,
tellico strip them out of the XML file (even if It didn't removed my
former tracks in my former 1500 CDs !!)

Probably. However, on my Mandriva system here is what I get:
> rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/amarok.mo
amarok-2.0.2-2mdv2009.1

So I guess your messages file should just be provided and installed in
that place by the package. Let me know if you think I can help for this.
For the moment I don't see them in my tellico tar file.

Thanks for your help,
Bruno.

I'm not seeing that. Is there anything weird or special about the tracks
you're trying to add?

I haven't made any tar files yet and I don't do the mandriva packages, so I
can't help you there. I'm not sure how I'm going to build the tar packages
for the release yet, it's part of being in extragear that I haven't started
working on.

I tried with that CD:
http://www.freedb.org/freedb/blues/8a09e40a

Only the 6 first tracks were imported. Adding the 4 missing didn't help.
Attached is a screen dump of what I get just after importing.

I'm a committer for Mandriva, so that's ok with the rpm ;-) But I can't
provide in th package, something which is not upstream that easily. And
currently the tar I make from your SVN doesn't contain any message
translated.

What If you just put them in a mo directory for the moment ? I could
then provide them in the package (same for other distro/pkg format).
Now I don't know the process you need to follow, so I may make a stupid
request, bare with me.

Best regards,
Bruno.

Hmm, something weird is going on because I still can't reproduce it. I get
all 10 tracks.

Are you compiling with debug support, are there any messages in stdout?

Humm. Bad for me ;-)
Just to clarify, this problem is also true for already entered CD. The
panel showing the tracks is limited to the first 6. The others (which
are in the XML file) are not shown.

> Are you compiling with debug support,

No by default I do not. But of course, it's easy to add.

> are there any messages in stdout?

Nothing at all linked to the import.
THe messages I got are:
tellico(21230): Attempt to use QAction "edit_undo" with KXMLGUIFactory!
tellico(21230): Attempt to use QAction "edit_redo" with KXMLGUIFactory!
QPainter::end: Painter ended with 2 saved states
QPainter::end: Painter ended with 2 saved states
QPainter::end: Painter ended with 2 saved states

but are at the start of the application.

I've not retried with last svn version, as the log doesn't seem to
indicate it could make any difference.

Could it be linked to a bug in one of the libraries provided on my
Mandriva distro, which is for sure different from your distro ?
(I just retry removing nearly anything related to KDE 3.5 - sniff, was
working so well :-( - to favour KDE 4.2 - which still isn't finished
IMHO - without change, but it may be something else)

Or could it be a missing module (I realized looking at the bug report
feature, that the package kdepasswd wasn't installed on my system !)

Is there any debug feature I could activate to give you more interesting
details, as I realize that I'm not helping here :-(

Also minor point: when importing a new CD, before it was first in the
list (with an empty composer). Now the "Empty" entry is placed in the
middle of the list, making it more long to scroll to find it again and
modify it.

Thanls for taking time to look at it Robby !
Greetings,
Bruno.

Which view template are you using?

Possibly, I guess. Tellico's XML is converted to HTML using the XSL template
and the libxslt1 library. libxslt1 1.1.23 had a bad bug...
http://periapsis.org/archives/2008/08/01/opensuse_110_includes_a_broken_libxslt.html

I doubt it.

I need to be able to reproduce it, I think. I can't think of anything else
to debug really. If you export to XML, and you see all the tracks listed
there, you could test the xsl conversion outside of Tellico.

xsltproc /path/to/the/Fancy.xsl output.xml > output.html

Then look at output.html to see if allt he tracks are listed.

Oh, I didn't catch that. Thanks, I need to figure out how to tweak the
sorting in the new model.

Thanks a lot, it's fixed in latest SVN I tried today !

So you may also be interested by another difference between that version
and the KDE 3.5 version:

When a new item was entered in the DB, it remained in bold until you
saved it. Now it's just the same as the other items, again making it
more difficult to see it in the list.

Anyway, many thanks for that tool which has become just mandatory on my
Linux platforms today !

Bruno.

I tried to reproduce it in another context. I created a new collection
(type File Catalog), and in it created a nearly empty new entry. I then
edited the Entry (CTRL+E), used the second tab (Meta-Info) to create a
table of 8 lines (one letter, and one number as value). They were saved
correctly in the file (as you can see in the attached .tc file).

However, when you come back in the edit entry window, and go again to
Meta Info, then only 6 lines are shown on the screen (even if the 8
lines are indeed in the file).

Hope it will allow you to reproduce my issue, or to give me ideas on
where to look at to solve it.

Thanks for your patience,
Bruno.

Yes, between that and your other example, I can see the problem. Let me take
a crack at seeing what is going on.

Hey, if you can see it, I'm pretty sure you'll find a way to solve it
;-)

> I appreciate your persistence and help! :)

As I said, tellico is really core to my Linux desktop usage today:

25084357 -rw-r--r-- 1 bruno users 157600 2009-06-28 12:15 BD.tc
25084549 -rw-r--r-- 1 bruno users 606905 2009-06-28 01:01 Disques.tc
(only a third done)
25084441 -rw-r--r-- 1 bruno users 248459 2009-06-28 12:45 DVD.tc
25084347 -rw-r--r-- 1 bruno users  14766 2009-06-28 12:08 Livres.tc
(only a few done)

As I'm at it, I also found another small problem: when you edit a
numeric entry (# of pages in comics/books, e.g.) the first number you
type is left on the right, and all the other are normaly entered.

So if I type 1963 I get 9631. Not a bir issue, if you take care of it
when you make your entry :-)

Thanks again for all your work on tellico.

Bruno.

Oh yes !!!!!
Excellent job Robby. I'm ready to continue to enter my remaining CDs
(lots of s here ;-) in tellico. What is the current record ? ;-)

Many thanks for your tireless work, and also very kind attitude here.
Your project is an inspiring example for all of us in the Open Source
World.

Warm regards,
Bruno.
