Dev Update:

SAMBL SoundCloud support is finished!

Just waiting a little bit to push the Update and finalize a few things until I finish adding SoundCloud to harmony.

Im making good progress, but learning how harmony's code works while making something new takes a minute.

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 20d

So, Apple Music support isn't happening any time soon...

Though... if anyone has a spare key... I wouldn't not be interested...

Artist banners look pretty cool 👀

Also, SoundCloud support coming soon!
Working on adding SC to harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk too!

Eventually, I do want to support multi-provider fetching... which wouldn't be too difficult, all things considered

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 25

Dev Update: SAMBL has now been completely abstracted to support different streaming services!

Deezer support is complete with tidal coming soon!

Due note that *some* features might not work with some providers. In this case, you can see the popularity meter is missing from deezer.

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 21

The Deezer API has no limit to the amount of entities you can get at once, so I can get an artist's entire discography with a single request!

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 21

Almost done updating the artist page to support multiple providers!

Sidenote: The Deezer API is really easy to work with (The tidal API, less so...)

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 10

Also also got tidal UPC and ISRC lookup working

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 10

Tidal Artist Search is now also working!

It was, however, significantly more annoying, due to the really object based way the tidal API is structured.

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 9

But of course

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Aug 9

Deezer Artist search is working!

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 22

Dev note:
For SAMBL, I want to focus on starting to integrate more streaming services
For sure planned (Already have keys/libraries):
- Deezer
- Tidal
Waiting on keys/libraries:
- @bandcamp.com (Doesn't have an actual API)
- Qobuz (Playing hard to get)
- Apple Music
- Amazon Music (Closed Beta)

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 22

Version 2.1.0 has been released!

- Added Quick Fetching
- Added album refreshing
- Added caching
- Improved API stability

See full changelog here: github.com/Lioncat6/SAM...

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 19

Individual album refreshing is now working!

Refreshing albums like this will bypass the data cache for MusicBrainz, which should allow for greater cache times. I may add a similar button for entire artists eventually.

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 13

Thinking about raising the MBZ cache time and just make it standard for people to press the refresh data button

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 13

Getting basic caching working...

MusicBrainz requests will have a cache time of 5 minutes, with basically everything else being cached for half an hour. The refresh button (the one I'm adding) will force fetch instead of the cache.

- This puts in the groundwork for quick fetching!!
- It's also probably buggy, so please bully it (Only bully the quick fetching though, or else it will cause problems)

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 7

Beefing with @bandcamp.com rn

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · Jul 6

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 (3/3):
In summary, quick fetching greatly reduces the number of necessary API calls when checking for albums by only checking for specific URLs in the MBZ database instead of doing a full artist to artist comparison
