Update musicbrainz pull

Post by Deadcool »

Under Artist I select a particular artist, then the three-dot menu to the right of the artist name, but no matches are found in Musicbrainz, so it links up to the incorrect artist.

I logon to Musicbrainz and enter the information for the artist and the release.

How can I get MM5 to update its feed from Musicbrainz so that the artist can be correctly linked with the three-dot menu mentioned above? I have tried restarting it as well as "Auto-Tag" (Status shows "Failed", whatever that means... I assume trying to lookup?)

We're using our MB server so you need to wait some time till we receive updates from MusicBrainz.org

It's been almost 24 hours and it's still not listed.

How often does your server update from MB?

Could you tell us which Artist you edited and if the edit is Live on the MusicBrainz.org website? It may be stuck in moderation by MusicBrainz.

We're receiving updates from MB.org every minute, but updating once in a hour. So if you can write out what artist you've updated i can check why it's not actually found in our MB.

I'm not seeing anything in Musicbrianz indicating it's waiting to be moderated, but I'm pretty new to the site so I may be missing something...

Any help here? The edits are closed in MB. It's still not an option to select in MM5.

What did you edit? I don't see much about the Artist in MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/2c452ec6 ... ab271caebc

I added the artist. It didn't exist in Musicbrainz before. I also added both of the releases listed there.

Here's a screen capture to make it even easier to see what I mean.

Hi,
I recreated Album and track names today.

Then Used Auto-Tag to get Album art and it found it. So I guess they updated it :)

It seems we both ran into the same confusion. It only shows Wikipedia alternatives, so the edit in MusicBrainz is not used in this place, thus not shown: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18368

Good catch Lowlander, glad we sorted this out, really confusing at a point. Now MM can be better. Another solution would be to add that Artist on Wiki Also ;)

No, it shows alternatives from our copy of MusicBrainz DB.

This makes some sense, however there are instances where the Artist info has an entry (but once selected no info is shown), and there is no entry for it at all in Wikipedia.

So where does the entry beside Artist come from?
