MBS-10469: Add 10 minute delay to shown CAA on front page #1540
MBS-10469: Add 10 minute delay to shown CAA on front page #1540
Conversation
Currently a lot of cover art on the front page is not shown since it hasn’t been processed by the IA yet, so visitors see "Image not available yet" messages instead. The proper solution to fix this would be to not show images on the front page until they’re actually processed, but I am not currently aware of a way to do this easily and reliably (there are database columns for storing sizes of the thumbnails, but they don’t seem to be populated, otherwise they would possibly be a good fit). This is mostly meant as a temporary workaround to lessen the problem. It won’t remove the problem entirely, since sometimes cover arts take more than 10 minutes to generate, but having a 3+ hour long wait also seems excessive.
Can one of the admins verify this patch? |

Thanks. I would not mind increasing the delay if that helps to significantly prevent this issue from occurring.

If you've tested the query and it works, this LGTM.
I tested it, see also https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/functions-datetime.html. But, when linking to the related ticket, I noticed that even though we cannot know if a thumbnail has been generated from a database query, it depends on ticket MBS-7480 which is assigned to @mwiencek, so it would be nice to have his review at least. |

Problem
Currently a lot of cover art on the front page is not shown since it hasn’t been processed by the IA yet, so visitors see "Image not available yet" messages instead.
Solution
MBS-10469: The proper solution to fix this would be to not show images on the front page until they’re actually processed, but I am not currently aware of a way to do this easily and reliably (there are database columns for storing sizes of the thumbnails, but they don’t seem to be populated, otherwise they would possibly be a good fit).
This is mostly meant as a temporary workaround to lessen the problem. It won’t remove the problem entirely, since sometimes cover arts take more than 10 minutes to generate, but having a 3+ hour long wait also seems excessive.
Note
I don’t have access to a live test server, so I’ve only played around with the query in my local database copy, not actually tried it out on a running copy of the server code. Also, this is mostly meant as a proof-of-concept. I am happy to have this PR thrown away for a better solution. This is just to hopefully inspire some thought on the matter. :)
