Request system is live

[Daemonikal]

Shirow, just noticed a viulerability with the request system... maybe message me or something and we can talk about it, I'd feel bad posting it here :S

[Shirow]

you must have javascript enabled for it to work.

Tools > Options > Content > Enable Javascript?

because if that's the case it is turned on. and has been since I update to firefox 3 a couple days ago

edit: odd. it seems to be working all of the sudden.

quick question: I noticed some tracks aren't listed when you search? a good example would be The Synthetic Dream Foundation's "Construction of the underworld". Is the list still being updated?

[Shirow]

Re: The Synthetic Dream Foundation.. partly a bug, partly misnamed songs. Try searching for 'synthetic'

[swampfeotus]

bug: salambo is not available for request

[Shirow]

So, thoughts one day later?

[DeadSeraph]

I'll let you know if I ever hear my request lol

but cheers! just having it there is great :)

[Shirow]

Yeah, if you schedule it near 'Fresh Ammo' you will have to wait a while..

That being said, I don't see a request from you sitting in the queue right now. Does it show it still queued on the page?

[Daemonikal]

A couple things that I was thinking.... maybe it's just because the request system is new, but since there really aren't many requests it might be good to make it something like a 4 hour queue cycle like you were mentioning, but instead of one request a day, set it to allow only one request at a time, so can't request again til your song is played? that or possibly decreasing the length of wait perhaps.... I dunno just some possible ideas ;)

[Shirow]

The thing that worries me about letting people request multiple times per day is that they will just request the same song over and over.

I guess I could add something to track previous songs requested..

My concern really is some artist coming to the site and requesting every single song from their album every chance they get.

how do you tell if you have a song in queue? its possible it might have played while i was on lunch.

that makes sense enough ;)
tracking requested songs/artists might be a good way to do it, but maybe making the system more complex than it needs to be...

[Shirow]

Yeah, I'll probably add that in phase 2

Top of the main page, if your request is in the queue it will say 'Queued Request: [Song Name]'

[DeadSeraph]

odd. I requested Nerve Filter - Sunrise and saw it in queue, then the play listed started playing songs it had already played and the request was never played (though now it no longer shows as being in queue)
