Unable to submit ISRCs to multi-medium release

[foolip]

I'm trying to submit ISRCs for CD 1 of http://musicbrainz.org/release/70dfcd0a-29ed-4a5f-ab72-e2be62eadd85

$ isrcsubmit.py foolip
isrcsubmit 0.4 by JonnyJD for MusicBrainz

DiscID: PC5dKsHXfLSTtLUNUgecT68qGBI-
Tracks on Disc: 11
Artist: 陳奕迅
Release: 上五樓的快活
Tracks in Release: 15
CRITICAL: track count mismatch!
CRITICAL: There are 11 tracks on the disc,
CRITICAL: but 15 tracks on a SINGLE-disc-release.
CRITICAL: This is not supposed to happen.

Looks like an old API that doesn't understand mediums is being used?

[JonnyJD]

Yes, the script is still using the old API. A new version is planned. However, that shouldn't be a big problem in many cases and also not this one.

My first guess would be, that the script thinks it is a single disc release, because there is only one Disc ID given. There is no ID for the DVD.

I will probably do that offset-guessing part also in this case, later this day.

Thanks for reporting.

[JonnyJD]

I reworked the workaround a bit.

The problem in this case is having a bonus DVD (that can't have a disc ID). The Workaround to detect multiple releases in the old API with NGS works with Disc IDs.
And it's not that the old API couldn't handle multiple disc releases. It just that the old API never got fixed for NGS ;--)

Please try if this isrcsubmit.py does what you want.
I will release a version 0.4.1.

PS:
Of course this is only a workaround and this script should use the new API. However, I didn't have time for that yet and guessing track offsets, based on DiscIDs given, works quite well for most cases (releases with 1 or 2 CDs, 1 disc ID each). Few people actually come across the part where they have to give an offset.

Progress in that direction is also affected by python-musicbrainz-ngs, especially the libdiscid support, having a stable/complete api and the question if that shouldn't be renamed to python-musicbrainz3..

Yep, that works:

Track count mismatch!
There are 11 tracks on the disc,
but 15 tracks
given for just one DiscID.

There might be multiple disc IDs per disc or none,
so the number of actual discs could be lower or even higher.

This is disc (ID) 1 of 1
This release probably has a bonus DVD without a discID.
