mutagen VS ddev

Note for the confused (maybe just me?), this is not related to python-mutagen[0], the metadata library.

I actually originally wrote Resonance in entirely in python when I was first learning how to make gtk4 / libadwaita applications. This first version used the mutagen tagging library for importing tags, which was written for the quodlibet player. Eventually, through the course of developing Resonance, I ran into noticeable latency issues with a sizable enough library. This was due (I think maybe due to this?) to how gdk pixbuf loading worked within PyGObject. This was especially an issue with the main album grid flowbox. (Loading a ton of album covers made it super laggy)

At least https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues doesn't seem to have issues open related about Ogg that seem relevant.

If you do python, check this module out: https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen

The python script will update the metadata and prepare it for plex using mutagen

not sure but see this thread https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues/327

It looks like mutagen is mapping version to TIT3.

It looks like Quod Libet, ExFalso (it's tag editor) and Mutagen its tagging library are the only ones that really do support actual multiple tags, both writing (Mutagen and ExFalso) and reading/playing/acting as a music library with Quod Libet…

Debugging is pretty easy with something like Ray (https://myray.app/) or Laravel Herd (https://herd.laravel.com/, despite its name runs differnet php apps just fine).

When it coems to running different PHP versions, modern PHP development has largely moved to using Docker (ddev, for example: https://ddev.com/) for that, and there's plenty Docker images for old PHP versions so it's a non-issue. I'd also imagine it be difficult to get many other outdated programming languages via a package manager.

There's now the PHP Foundation, which while relatively new in its formation, has significantly boosted PHP development and I'd recommend donating if improving the language is important to you.

Do you already want to try the new version, which is currently in alpha state? With DDEV this is super simple, just paste one command into the terminal.

For development, I will still prefer to continue with DDEV (a tool that I highly recommend). But the adventure with SQLite was very interesting, it really helped me not to pollute my termux.

I use https://ddev.com for almost all of my web project development, which basically automates all of this. Per-project databases, web containers, plugins, etc, and it’s now using Traefik as its router.

I use it with ddev for local development.

With the right combination of overlapping interests, a lot can get done and incredible things get build. See for example the Drupal book or DDEV--both are extremely active Drupal projects, with lots of community activity, outside of drupal.org.

You can go from 0 to 100 quickly with DDEV or Lando: - https://docs.lando.dev/ - https://ddev.readthedocs.io/

For local: have you tried DDEV? Or Lando? they seem pretty fast to me. https://github.com/drud/ddev

Lando works great with Linux, use DDEV for Mac. Both are Docker-based.

With DDEV you can create Docker PHP + NodeJS environments which run on every operating systems in the same way. These environment configuration can be shared via git which makes open source software DDEV a great and robust choice for team projects.
