dMC fails to update revision when submitting to freedb

[go_jesse]

I got a freedb submission rejected: I just read this in the FAQ at freedb

2.8. My freedb-submission was rejected with error-reason "Existing entry found with higher revision than submitted". What's the problem?
In order to prevent correct database entries from being overwritten by new (possibly incorrect) submissions, freedb uses revisions for its database entries. When reading a database entry from freedb, an application supporting the revision system stores the revision of the existing entry. If the user changes the entry (to correct mistakes) and re-submits it, the application increases that revision by 1 for the re-submission. So if the server receives an updated database entry with increased revision, it knows, that the user submitting the updated entry really saw the original entry. If the revision is not increased, the server software has to assume, that the user never saw the original entry and is possibly overwriting an entry, that is already perfectly ok.
In order to ensure that a re-submission really works, you should first query freedb for the entry and then correct and re-submit the info (without closing the application in-between, as it might "forget" the revision of the original entry when being closed).

dMC seemed to crash when trying to rip with the original entry in freedb for this cd (would be glad to help debug that)

It stayed up though (or appeared to) but I went and edited all the artist stuff (it was a crappy entry in freedb) and then resubmitted with dMC and i got this email back:

Your freedb submission was rejected for the following reason:

Existing entry found with higher revision (2) than submitted (0)

Please fix the problem before you resubmit it. Only the first
error in your submission was noted - there may be others. If you
continue to have trouble, it may be due to a bug in your CD
player software. If you suspect this, try acquiring a newer version.

Re: dMC fails to update revision when submitting to freedb

I think freedb updated to UTF-8 support, CD Writer has not yet gained that so any submissions are getting set to 0 to stop them going in. Release 12 will have full unicode support.
