| artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 12:59 AM | Hi YouTube I see lots of links to "my" artist page, mainly because my music is registered with rumblefish (via CDBaby). The link to the artist page is (correctly) shown as http://www.youtube.com/artist/David_W_Solomons (or http://www.youtube.com/arti |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 2:07 AM | It is all very sketchy to many of us so I am asking for you (and me- as I too have a similar set-up). It might take a wee while (hehe) to get a response from those in the know but here is hoping. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 3:53 AM | Thanks "Madame". BTW if you really are based in Strasbourg and your last school there was in 1975, we may have met... (or only just missed anyway....) ? I had a wonderful 8 months in Strasbourg in 1976-7 :-) Send me an email some time: dwsolo [at] gm |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | gbcali | 6/29/12 7:49 AM | Disable your ad-blocker and you'll see: Buy "Chinese New Year Celebration" on: eMusic, AmazonMP3, iTunes |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 8:08 AM | I don't have adblocker gbcali and I get a 404 Not Found error for the auto-generated artists page and the iTunes link which I see is not clickable. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 8:52 AM | Hi Thanks gbcali - the links you have shown here are fine, but they have not yet appeared as proper links on any of the registered videos, even after I have removed adblock (this being in Chrome). The words itunes and emusic appear but they don't hav |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | gbcali | 6/29/12 8:56 AM | @TFLU – Yes, the artist link is 404. To be able to use the music store links you have to first click "Show more" on the Description (not exactly intuitive). [OS X 10.5.8; Firefox 3.6.28] |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 8:59 AM | gbcali- so what are you suggesting disabling Adblocker achieves that is currently not visible to those of us who do not have Adblocker enabled anyway? The artist link is a 404 Not Found error whatever the situation and the iTunes links, which work |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | gbcali | 6/29/12 9:06 AM | @TFLU – Did you click "Show more" to expand the Description and then try clicking on the music store links? Btw, this is the video I'm using in my tests ––> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfvshWnr30Q |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 9:14 AM | Hi GBcali That is a red herring, I'm afraid: expanding the description on the video you viewed (which is my own video) merely reveals the links which I provided myself. It makes no difference to the adverts automatically added by youtube to the right |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 9:19 AM | err.... further to the above, the links to itunes and emusic have suddenly become clickable (but there is no link to Amazon) and the artist page is still 404 |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 9:25 AM | Yes, that works for the iTunes link (like you said- entirely counter-intuitive) but the artist page does remain an error. Ergo I am still reporting it. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 9:28 AM | As you have gather David- the iTunes link is, in essence, activated, by opting to use "show more" despite the fact that they are not hidden when "show more" is not clicked and are not part of the data which is revealed when using "show more". Not on |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 9:41 AM | Hi Lady from Uncle I have come across other links to other artist pages which are 404s. This was what made me delay in reporting it, because I had been assuming that the artist pages would appear eventually. But time has passed and no improvements ha |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/29/12 9:59 AM | I was asking if you had had reports from anyone about being able to see your artist page, or not. :) Yes, I have seen many artist pages working so it is curious to find one which does not, for anyone. Which means we can rule out browser error, pre |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/29/12 10:10 AM | Thanks :-) I'll ask around and let you know, but for the time being I think we should assume it's a 404 for all. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | stuartindigo | 6/30/12 3:43 AM | 404 for me as well The itunes link is not active with or without "show more" for me. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 6/30/12 4:32 AM | Oh? Do YOU have an adblocker running stuartindigo? This is getting to be annoying as I cannot see us getting feedback any time soon... :( |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 6/30/12 9:11 PM | Hi Lady from Uncle - it occurs to me that when we do finally get feedback we may need to provide youtube with information about the artists whose pages currently 404 - you and me in this case. Will they write to us? If so, I assume they will write t |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 7/1/12 3:38 AM | No, they wont need any more information from what I can tell. You provided the links to the videos affected and one is enough to see the issue with the artist link. |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | dwsolo | 7/4/12 7:37 AM | Is it worth sending them a reminder? |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 7/4/12 7:55 AM | No, just worth waiting until they get around to it. You are just one of potentially billions of users with issues who are ahead of you in the queue. Besides today is the 4th of July. ;) |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | ytKeane | 7/17/12 4:02 PM | Hi David - We don't have an artist page for you, which is why it 404s. But we do know your name from the various offers you have on Amazon and iTunes. If you enter your information on http://musicbrainz.org - one of our main sources for artist information, |
| Re: artist page is assigned but doesn't yet exist | The Lady From Uncle | 7/17/12 4:14 PM | Oh brilliant kind sir- thank you for the information. It helps to know that this is more a case of Not Quite Enough Info To Let Go Live which can be addressed by the user themselves. Is this likely to be happening to others who are small artists but |
