Last post before waiting for a reply... This is with foo_discogger:
If I search for the first time I get the JSON error detailed above. When I click search a second time, a modal window "Release format mismatch" pops up which I cannot close and foobar2000 then becomes unresponsive.

That´s weird... maybe you are running more than one Foobar 2000 instance at once?

Here is a minor foo_discogs v2.23 (32bits) update.
Tested most releases reported in previous posts and it seems to fix the JSON error.

foo_discogs v2.23 061024.zip

Change log:
- Fixed: Error loading release: JSON Parser Exception Array assertion failed

Anyone having problems with release images?

Last days I noticed that there the option to manage images is not available, there is no album cover preview and no cover images are being downloaded.

I check in the console and I have a message that said.

Code: [Select]
foo_discogger: Unable to read album thumbnail from cache, index: 0

I have the same problem on random releases, that either no image or only the artist's image is accessible.

I checked the downloaded release json in the cache (https://pastebin.com/rtf8WGqB) and all cover images are there. But in the UI it's only the artist or "manage artwork" checkbox is inactive.

Please do the checkbox "excl. those defined in Tag mapping".
foo_discogs removes all the tags (when checkbox is set) and write all info from Discogs.
in case of foo_discogger i must select additionally what tags to be removed or rewritten . it's not convenient.
Thanks in advance.

Hey again. I'm trying to update tags of a release but it doesn't work - it doesn't update, even when DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID is set to write+update. I have latest version installed.

OK, nevermind - I cleared release cache and it helped.

Would it be possible for Discnumber/Totaldiscs to be only tagged for Multidiscreleases?
Same question for Album Artist, i only want i present for releases with multiple Artists. Thanks!

Hmm, is there something I don't understand? Newb - using it for the first time. (foo_discogger for fb2k v2 x64)

Now I search for Antonín Dvořák - filter set to: "Complete Piano Trios". I want to tag with this one: https://www.discogs.com/de/master/1758455-Suk-Trio-Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k-The-Complete-Trios-For-Piano-Violin-And-Violoncello-Trio-No-1-In-B-flat-Major-Op-2

The Plugin always wants to look through 139 result pages, which takes a very long time so in effect I cannot use the plugin. I'm even willing to feed it the correct URL and let it do basic tagging, is that possible?

I've put the above URL into the URL field bottom right, it found some Pointer Sisters music.

EDIT: OK, I should look deeper into it myself, I will read test more extensively, read info at Github etc... already achieved some very promising results, great stuff. Until now, I've always used freedb to do the basic work, then manually made changes.

Thx
If you know Release ID/URL - fill the correspond field (at the lower right corner of) ;)
Then press Next.

Nice work on the plugin!

One possible bug I noticed (v1.0.21.1): when writing tracks for a 12" record, TRACK_DISC_TRACK_NUMBER is showing 1 for both the A and B side, and RELEASE_TOTAL_DISCS is also showing 1.

Hi, how can I access/write the artist (or label) name with the number in parentheses (when multiple entries exist)?

This is because unfortunately the plugin by default does not delete the disk cache.
It's bizarre and nobody loves it, but @da yuyu has not had a chance to fully fix it yet.

The most complete way to fix this is to find the artist ID in the disk cache and delete it altogether (or if you're feeling extreme, delete all the artist folders...)
I do suggest clearing the cache in the plugin preferences as well - it's in the Cache tab.

Open your foobar2000 profile folder (if you don't know it, open File menu, Directories, browse Profile Directory).
From there, go to the foo_discogger-cache subfolder.
Then open artists subfolder.

Now you need to find the artist ID - e.g. go to Moby's main page on Discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/1031-Moby
His ID is 1031.

Just delete that folder and then look up the artist/release again.
