Hi,
Once again, Terrasque has made some changes to the site code. This time, he has been working on compilations and sessions, and as a result anyone can create a compilation, and also they can be used as a session (where the entire compilation is put into the queue) by certain moderators. Another change is that the site is currently testing a new java-based media player. It will be more apparent to mods on the Pending Uploads pages, and on song pages. This new player has some benefits over the old in that it will play some additional song formats (such as mods.XM, IT etc.) and we are currently troubleshooting some issues with it playing streams. Currently, whnen it plays the stream over the net it seems to play the song at the wrong speed and the result doesn't sound the greatest in the world. Terra is currently looking into that and a couple of other minor issues. More Compilation Info You can now change the order of songs in any compilation, any moderator can do this in the Edit Info portion of an existing compilation and the results are active once saved. Any registered user can build their own compilations! Simply use This Link or go to Compilations -> New Compilation for the same page. In the search box, enter the SongID number and hit Search, then drag the song to the grey box underneath it! Use the same dragging action to sort the order of the songs as you want them to appear in the final compilation. The rest of the compilation data is the same as any other compilation and is pretty straight forward. Once your compilation has been submitted, we strongly recommend that you make a post in ![]() ![]() Session Support At long last, we finally have session support! Sessions are actually built from compilation entries, and select moderators will be able to inject the entire compilation in to the pending queue. This allows compilations to be made for a play session, a theme-based session and lots more. Eventually on CVGM we will begin playing sessions on a regular basis so if you want to start building some good sessions to consider for playing, then let us know ![]() As always, should you have any problems with this update or anything else on the site please let us know ![]() |

I tried to create a compilation using the new method, but only got a 500 error with a sad panda. ![]() I first trimmed down the info I was sending (thinking perhaps I entered something wrong), then finally just tried creating a new compilation with just a name of "test" -- that failed too. I then asked jyooruje, who was online at the time, to try it for me, and he couldn't create it either. We ended up creating it through the admin panel... The search inside the compilation page is also weird. I had uploaded ![]() ![]() |

Hehe, I should check this more often ![]() The 500 errors occured from the wsgi stuff not shutting down correctly as I remember, after a full reboot it all fixed itself. More changes to the compilation system have been added and are going through some testing, so hopefully there should be no more problems ![]() |
