Tons of 503 errors in console : is there a way to have jaikoz warn me

[wynlyndd]

Unfortunately this folder happens to have tons of dj sets and bootlegs and stuff so I wasn’t too surprised that it wasn’t finding stuff in musicbrainz.

Judging by console it appears to be a connection issue as I see the message

I know sometimes servers go down or are unavailable and it looks like it is trying the 5 times on each file before going on, but I just happened to have console.app up or I would never know and just assume musicbrainz had no info, not that maybe I should try again later.

It is a connection problem, Musicbrainz is temporarily overrloaded. In this case Jaikoz retries upto 10 times before eventually giving up, if it does give up then Jaikoz will display an error as this didn’t happen it overcome the problem.

But you can see the retries by looking at the console tab in the detail pane.
