you have an extra @, it should be like this: - "EMAIL_CONFIG=smtp+tls://apikey:.m.y.p.a.s.s.w.o.r.d.@smtp.sendgrid.net:587" That works. Thank you so, so much for your help :) | 10:34:23 |
 Agate (she/her) | You're welcome ! | 11:13:59 |
| thalperi | So, being new to this, allow me to ask such questions that newbies ask...
How does a mastodon, pleroma, or peertube member, for example, follow a funkwhale member? or vice versa? | 11:18:53 |

| Agate (she/her) | Funkwhale users can't be followed, only channels. Following a Funkwhale channel from Mastodon or pleroma should include the channel's publication s in your timeline | 11:23:48 |

Following a Funkwhale channel from Mastodon or pleroma should include the channel's publication s in your timeline Thank you for the clarification about users and channels. That makes much more sense. But about including the channel's publication in my timeline... how can I do this from my mastodon account, for example? | 11:26:18 |
| Agate (she/her) | Basically, search the channel name (channel@pod) or paste the channel URL (like https://open.audio/channels/noch/) in Mastodon | 11:28:54 |

| Agate (she/her) | In the search input | 11:30:38 |
| thalperi | When I'm logged into my pod, I can see my 1 artist with 1 new channel. When I'm not logged in, I see nothing. Must I be logged into the pod to be able to browse it? | 11:38:50 |

 Eric | funkwhale is not letting me import | 00:15:30 |
| Eric | it says Key (mbid)=(40164a19-3880-4566-acf7-875239a64516) already existsit says: .
| 00:15:49 |
| Eric | but if I have more than one album by the same artist, doesn't it make sense they would have the same mbid? | 00:16:05 |
| Eric | so what I had to do was go into django and delete the copy of the artist w/o the mbid. Then it could be added to the already existing mbid | 00:24:52 |

Sounds like there may be a variation in the artist name? Perhaps case or an extra character. If you compare a track attributed to the existing artist in Django, and the one you're trying to upload do they match? | 07:16:27 |
| amoonrabbit | I have seen it where a multi artist release, which has an umbrella album artist, the artist of the first track uploaded would adopt the Mbid of the album artist for some reason. Only seen it once though | 07:37:04 |

If you compare a track attributed to the existing artist in Django, and the one you're trying to upload do they match? What happened is that I had some albums by artist A that iddn't have an mbid. Then I got more albums by the same artist. But for those I ran them through Picard first. So those got an mbid. This resulted in two different entries for the same artist. So then I added the mbid to the original albums. But in Funkwhale they now had two different funkwhale artist IDs. So to Funkwhale I was trying to say that two artists shared the same mbid. So in Django I just deleted the entries wihtout the mbid. Once I reimported, it was fine. | 12:57:41 |
| Eric | I need some advice for a related, but different issue. For some reason, when I was using Amarok it seemed best to leave the album artist blank for Various Artists (it woudl group them better). But this is against the standard. For example FooBar2000 recommends "Various Artists" or "The Chrono Collective" or someting like that. So I have an album that currently in Funkwhale is split into 25 different albums because I hadn't set an album artist. I went into the tags and I added Various Artists as the album artist, but now it says Various Artists, but still has 25 different albums. Do I just need to delete those and reimport? | 13:00:04 |

| amoonrabbit | Possible that parent album object for each track will have a different uuid so whilst the album artist is updated, they still show under their respective album entry. If you were to search Django for the album name, how many entries get returned? Long shot as it may not allow duplicates like that | 13:24:58 |

Download Chrono Symphonic.png | 13:54:48 |
| Eric | almost that whole page should just be one album | 13:55:37 |
| Eric | or at least two | 13:55:41 |
| amoonrabbit | Yeah, they've all been registered with separate uuids I bet. No way to merge them easily, quickest way would be delete, retag, upload still | 14:57:35 |
| Eric | ok, no problem there. Just wanted to check | 14:59:19 |
| Eric | if it doesn't work, then I'll ask about what's going on | 14:59:31 |
