GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 513851
migrate to amazon ECS 4.0
Last modified: 2008-06-24 21:17:25 UTC
As far as I can tell, we're using version 3.0 of amazon's ECS service to find album art. According to this announcement: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/ann.jspa?annID=164 this version of the service will be shut down after March 31st. There's a migration guide here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=12&externalID=627 (I'm probably not going to do the work for this myself)

I haven't tried it, and I don't have any comments about the code, but I think it'd be a good idea to use batch requests (http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEcommerceService/4-0/PgCombiningOperations.html) to reduce the number of requests we make.
This patch fixes Amazon search, thanks! If no objections from main developer, and if he doesn't beat me too it, I'll look over the patch a bit more carefully and check it in.
Maximilian: we're currently trying to relicense rhythmbox so it can be distributed with GPL-incompatible GStreamer plugins (bug 513617). Since this is a non-trivial contribution, it would help if you could state here that you agree (or not) with the relicensing.
The code all looks fine, and it seems to work pretty well.
Created attachment 109011 [details] [review] Amazon: Use batch requests This patch implements batch processing and has to be applied on top of the original ECS-4.0 patch. Also, I agree with the relicensing. :)
I've committed your patches to svn. Thank you very much for working on this.
