Problem with Hype Machine resolver

[Andreas]

Hi all,

i've installed the Hype Machine resolver, but it does not resolve
anything.

I have error and crash messages in the playdar log, perhaps someone
can tell me what's wrong?

*This is really driving me nuts, tried it several hours now but can't
find the error for myself, really need your help!*

Playdar is great, perhaps THE solution to all our problems about
streamable music (finding every track, avoiding restrictions) and
perhaps THE answer to all the greedy labels / collecting societies
(making them rethink their business models) and perhaps THE chance
for new music startups (avoiding high costs).

So let's spread the word for Playdar wherever we can!

But for doing that we need more stable demos for Mac/Linux/Windows
which we can use to showcase Playdar's features without too much
effort.

I tried the Playdar last.fm script and it doesn't run very stable and
it seems that you can only resolve against your local library with it
(see my other thread about these problems).

I tried the Hype Machine resolver and run in the problems described in
this thread here.

I tried the Playdar demo search, which seems to only resolve against
your local library too, which isn't what many Playdar users who use
additional resolvers would expect.

If we could show others how easy new resolvers could be integrated to
a Playdar install it would be easier to show Playdar's real power to
adapt to this or that scenario. And if every web demo uses these newly
integrated resolvers immediately, the better for showing Playdar's
great possibilities.

I'm just a stupid user, who wants to help evangelising Playdar's
mission, but we need the help of the developers to do that, thank
you... :)

Cheers,
Andreas

I agree on the need for stable and consistent demos. It would be good if the demos and resolvers where possible are actively maintained. To that end it would be good to know if there is an active maintainer on each resolver and contact email. It would be good to put this on the playdar wiki or someplace.

[David Singleton]

I wrote the hypem resolver originally as a proof of concept but
haven't been maintaining it. Partly because Anthony from HypeM
politely asked me not to publicise it too much, which is fair enough.
If it's broken (likely due to markup changes on hypem) then i'd
suggest we remove it from Playdar by default.

Definitely agree on listing an active campaigner for any resolver
plugins distributed with Playdar.

"Partly because Anthony from HypeM

Hype Machine is a very great music service and Anthony should know
very good how important it is to experiment with new ways of music
discovery and distribution, shouldn't he? So what are his fears about
a Hype Machine Playdar resolver? Is Playdar a threat to Hype Machines
existence?

But should you really stop developing interesting resolvers because of
such fears, even in Playdar's actual experimental phase?

What if Spotiy wouldn't want a Spotify resolver too then? Or AOL
Music? Or Napster? Or....?

So please don't stop the development of the Hype Machine resolver,
resolvers are Playdar's heart and soul! :)

Cheers,
Andreas

I think you misunderstand.

I was asked me nicely, and with good justification, to no continue
development on it. Seems fair enough to me, it's certainly not a
question of disliking or not understanding Playdar.

Hype machine is not a streaming music service like Spotify. It's an
aggregator that collects and displays other peoples content, it's very
much built on fair use. Treating it as a jukebox in the sky goes
against that.

Anyone is free to develop a hypem resolver, I chose not to continue.
Mostly because I built it to get to grips with resolvers, test their
limits a bit and see if it would work.

[Andreas]

Ok, i understand now, thanks for clarification.

But if Playdar's success story continues then someone will build a
HypeM resolver sooner or later, to Anthony's liking it or not.

That's why i think it's not reasonable to stop development here, so if
there is someone out there who wants to adopt and to repair David's
HypeM resolver, i am here to test it for you!
