Jinjurly Audio Archive

[squidgestatus]

So Squidge has hosted the Jinjurly audio/podfic archive for a couple of years now, but have only recently taken control of the day-to-day stuff tha needs to be done.  And if you know anything about the Jinjurly archive, you might know that it was hacked a while back, which resulted in the loss of many, many podfics.

Between mific  and myself (squidgiepdx ) we have recovered a number of files for the archive.  These are mostly SGA, but those do make up a significant part of the archive itself.  We've also been revamping things here and there.

Two big things to note: First, if you want to submit something to the archive there is a new form (click here) to submit items!  It'll be embedded in the site soon.

Second thing, if you need to reach us, you can email jinjurlymods@squidge.org and one of us will get back to you.

Please note: Because so many files are missing, we're going to ask the community to see if they have replacements.  That will be forthcoming in the next while (could be days, could be weeks).

Do you have a list of the files you do have? I've been looking to rework the old spreadsheet into a new one with what's currently missing to make the crowdsourcing easier. Last time we got the list from a script my room mate made that tested all the links on the archive, but I don't know if she still has that script to run and it'd be easier to just to a vlookup in excel then to rerun anything. :) (if you want to move this convo to email, I'm parakaproductions at gmail dot com)

Actually through shell scripting and some screen scraping software, I was able to identify that 5,500 URLs (!!!!!!) that are missing any working download link. We have about 300 that have M4B links but no MP3 links, and mific is working on those now. And the reason I'm awake early on a Saturday is because I have to write the shell + SQL script that's going to get all the data we need for a new spreadsheet. Hopefully I can get it posted by the end of this weekend.

Amazing! Well, tag me in when you're ready for it. I'm super happy that we can get the back catalogue back since so many of those podfics haven't been uploaded again since then and would be lost without this.

Spreadsheet!

The spreadsheet is ready! Link with details: https://squidgestatus.dreamwidth.org/89520.html
