Freesound Forums

Hi,

I'm investigating the possibility of integrating a freesound browser into the Ardour workstation. It's close to working, but the network protocol doesn't seem to match what Mootcher expects. I've put some printouts inside the Mootcher code to see if I can figure out why it doesn't work.

First, I try to login.
Mootcher sends:
username=BenLoftis&password=XXXX&login=1&redirect=%2E%2E%2Ftests%2Flogin%2Ephp
freesound replies:
login

Mootcher is searching for the the word "logged" to trigger that the login was succesful. It looks like the timing is off, or the protocol has been changed. I changed the check to use "login" instead and then continued as if that was correct.

Next I try to do a search for "120", using the searchText function.
Mootcher sends:
search=120&durationMin=0.01&durationMax=60.00&bitrate=1&bitdepth=1&samplerate=1
freesound replies:
<freesound>
</freesound>

I'm not sure if I get an empty set because my login failed, or the searchText function is broken, or both.

The Mootcher docs say I should post questions to iua-mail.upf.es/mailman/listinfo/freesound-dev but that list doesn't exist. Is there anyone here who can help me??

Thanks in advance,

Hello Ben,

mootcher really isn't supported nor developed anymore and I should remove it ASAP from this page.

However, there are some python and visual basic (and I think even delphi) wrappers discussed on the forum. And Nao Tokui did a version of mootcher for max/msp.

Have a look through the forums.

Hm, this sounds as if you either have a lot of plans for a freesound api/mootcher2 or no plans at all...
Can you say something about that, if you want to?

I'm asking because I'm really interested in the technology of this kind of stuff (like the new analyze.echonest.com/AudioAnalysis.html stuff etc.)

Thanks,
