Post the source code... I'll take a look and maybe update it if I find time... (no promises I'm too busy these days).

Is OAuth support necessary just to access release info? There should be no need to log in to discogs?

Thanks for all work You put into this plugin. It helped many people to spent less time on tagging.

Here's a dump of the v1.32 source

To build it you need to place the foo_discogs project in a VC++ solution and add these dependencies to the foo_discogs project:

- foobar2000_component_client
- foobar2000_SDK
- foobar2000_SDK_helpers
- pfc


The abstract class IDiscogs encapsulates fetching + parsing Discogs data and populating data structures (classes) representing release, artists, etc.
There's a single implementation in DiscogsXMLParser.cpp.  To support JSON, a new implementation must be written using the XML
implementation as an example to fill the data structures exactly the same way.
For parsing JSON, I had good success with the Jansson lib for another project.

And there's the PITA named OAuth (v1) to handle. It will be required for search requests and probably more as discogs devs have become OAuth freaks.
For this, I suggest to research if an easy C/C++ OAuth lib exists first.

If someone picks up this project let us know to avoid duplicate effort.

Thanks bubbleguum. I'm taking a stab at it. Others can feel free to race me. Haven't used C++ since school so I'm pretty rusty. Forgot about the joys of trying to compile and link everything properly on windows. :-)

Here is a working version (DLL):
https://www.sendspace.com/file/f8926e

It uses the JSON API for searching artist and getting artist releases, but still uses the old XML interface for everything else. It seems a bit slower at loading releases, too.

Big thanks to bubbleguuum for starting this project and releasing the source code.

It works with searching, but tagging fails in my case (some endpoint related error). Anybody else the same?

Same.  When I click "Write Tags" I get

discogs error: release id=xxxxxx: problem connecting to discogs.com

Hmm weird, it works for me and I didn't change anything in the code relating to loading the release info or writing tags. I'm not a C++ expert so maybe I compiled something wrong (I compiled on MSVC 2013 using platform toolset for Windows XP (v120_xp)). By the way, what version of foobar2000 are you using? I'm using the latest official version.

Works for me too. Win8.1 x64, foobar2000 1.3.3
Thanks zoomorph and bubleguuum

Good to hear that lucido!

Here's another build that uses the JSON API exclusively. (According to their website, the rest of the XML API will be shut off on Aug 22.)

I've not tackled OAuth support as they've bumped the deadline to Oct 14.

Thanks for your work! I've updated the components site with your version (1.33).
It will be picked by the foobar2000 auto-updater.
If you make new updates make sure to bump the version number and I'll upload it to the components site.

That's good news OAuth has been pushed back as it give more time to add support for it.

I apologize for any bugs. I'm not sure how compatible my builds are. I'm sure bubbleguuum and others here are more knowledgeable so maybe they can help. Here is the source code using the JSON api: https://bitbucket.org/zoomorph/foo_discogs

Silent as in you do not even see the crash report dialog ?

yes, nothing also in "crash reports" folder.

At which point does it crash (detailed steps to reproduce) ?

I click button plugin over a previous filled discogos mp3 tag, it open dialog form, i write artist and click "Search", it find and crash.
Sometimes it does not crash immediately but I can scroll through the artists list but after crashes anyway.

The error while writing tags can be resolved by deleting any old foo_discogs.dll.cfg file in the configuration folder of foobar.
Probably foobar 1.3.3. should also be the current version.

Cheers!

Many Thanks to bubbleguuum and zoomorph for continuing this hilarious plugin. Tagging works fine (although it crashed once until now) but album art is not fetched. Newest version of foobar is installed and i deleted the old foo_discogs.dll.cfg. Anyone else with that problem?

1. Is it recommended to uninstall foo_discogs before installing this latest version?

2. Could someone post a brief WiKi of what will work and what won't work?

The problem seems to mapping related. Editing the mapping after deleting the old config brings the error back.
It seems that some or at least one mapping is broken (if you choose all DISCOGS_ ... fields)

Thanks bubbleguuum and zoomorph, the new version works perfectly. Damn quick update!

Thanks for the update!

Some points:
- deleting old foo_discogs.dll.cfg helps - otherwise I got error connecting to discogs database;
- my config writes <DISCOGS_FORMAT>, and after update it started to write "CD, @lbum" instead of "CD, Album";
- fetching album art doesn't work;
- composite name doesn't work. E.g. for this release Artist name is returned as "LA Vampires , Ital" instead of "LA Vampires Goes Ital". I guess,  for %artist% all text (non-link) words are replaced with " , ".
