Re: new video/audio player 'opt in' is live! |
1) well, that's the default behaviour of our jwplayer -- and we're trying to not add toooo much to our already heavy modifications and customizations to their player offering. So I think for now, since it's not an easy config option, we probably won't do that. But I'll keep your "vote" in mind going forward! (BTW, there are quite a few people who've already expressed that they like/prefer that behaviour, so it's always a bit hard to figure out the best solution for all!)
2) check out my recent reply to similar request/concern
http://www.archive.org/post/409746/new-video-audio-player-opt-in-is-live3) this is strictly a kind of social/culture thing and preference of certain bands, nothing more. (that is, no technical issues on our end -- we could implement your request in under a weekend since we have a huge processing "farm" that could make the mp3 (and ogg) quickly. we have admins in LMA/etree (I'm assuming you are mostly concerned about those items?) who've discussed this. I'll bring it up to Tyler Huff especially and our collection team again...
Thanks for your thoughtful post and requests! Sorry I can't give you more of a "yes we can!" response, at least right now...

Re: new video/audio player 'opt in' is live! |
Nate / Tracey, yes the reason a lot of the 'old' shows in .shn (it was the file format preference at the time of 2002/2004) do not have mp3s is only because they haven't 'been run'. Most bands that don't have mp3s have it as a format request that they want lossless only (example jason mraz and howie day).
we have been thinking about doing a 'mass-mp3-generation' day where our servers would go through and 're-run' the derive.php task on ALL the shows and if they were a band that didn't want mp3s they would still be blocked from being made (from the CAT.lossy file i believe).
if you have specific 'old' shows you want mp3s made of, post them here and i'll re-run the file derive.php task and make them.
but as far as a whole 'rerun' everything... we will try and bring that back up soon to discuss!

Re: new video/audio player 'opt in' is live! |
hey tyler!
right, i know very well about the _rules.conf and how there can be show-based rules as well as band-based rules.
i guess part of a scheme could be to try to recontact any band that prohibited mp3/ogg in the past and see if they still feel the same.
re-deriving audio is cheap/easy! 8-)
