Same problem here.  Running Win7 x64, latest FB2K, latest foo_discogs.dll.  I use the feature nearly every day and it's only stopped working in the last day or so, I'd say.  I'm figuring that it's probably a server-side issue that's triggered this as nothing else has changed on my end, but who knows.  All I get is 1+ files that are all corrupt and I never see a preview thumbnail regardless of selected title.  I've checked the Discogs site and the art is certainly there and intact.  Anyway, just wanted to throw my name into the hat for the issue.  thx

I think I may have found something out about this problem, but I'm not sure what it means


If you take the blank jpg files that it saves and rename them to .zip files, you will find an extensionless file inside. If you extract this, and rename it to jpg again, it works.

I have no idea what that means, I guess somehow the file handling is screwing up, but they are downloading.

I hope that helps someone. I joined this forum cause this seems like a great plugin and I want to see it succeed

Also, don't ask why I thought to try this in the first place, lol.



Confirmed.  Strangely I was unable to just click to open the zip file and received a message that it was invalid.  Using the 'Open Archive' function in  7zip it opens without a fuss and, sure enough, the 'cover' file is contained within and renaming to 'cover.jpg' results in a fully functional image.  I'm not exactly sure why JPGs are ending up zipped, but it makes little sense and is certainly new.

Hi there

I am having exactly the same problems as the guys above and am desperate for a solution
I also use the plugin everyday and have sorted over 20,000 songs with it! I am lost without it!

I'll look at the issue. Probably due to a change on the discogs site side

like said above it seems that fetched image is gziped and should be decrypted like all discogs responses which are gzip encrypted AFAIK

Hi, great plugin, really love it.

I have a bit of a problem with fetching the album art though. When i go through the write tags process, in the release dialogue the album art is not displayed and upon writing the tags, the downloaded file is corrupted and will not display in any image viewer. It is the same file size as one that i download manually.

Clicking on "View Release Page" takes me to the correct release, no problem, however, clicking on "View Album Art Page" results in "Page not found" on discogs.

foo_discogs "View Album Art Page" url - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=368123
Actual Album Art Page url - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=368123

Any ideas? I'm very much a newbie at this.


In the configuration panel "Fetch" and "Display preview in release dialogue" are ticked and the directory is set to the default "$directory_path(%path%)".

I'm running a completely fresh install of foobar, on a Win 7 x64 system, and using a static IP address, tried with Chrome and Firefox.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem - running version 0.23

Same problem here. Easy workaround (hopefully in the short term) is to open the files in The Gimp and save them again. This seems to unzip them and renders them useful again.

Would be great if this could get fixed somehow though, as it's a little bit of a faff!

Thanks,
Will

is AlbumArt issue not fixed yet?

The problem is that the image files are returned as compressed HTTP responses, which return gzipped (.gz) compressed archives by Discogs, and should be uncompressed prior to writing to disk.  That is why you get an archive with a file inside; the archive is gzip format and the file inside is the image that it grabbed!

See this RFC for more information on the compressed HTTP response (gzip compression): http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952

I wonder why they changed this.  It was working fine before.  I could understand possibly if their reply contained all the requested image files in one archive, but it doesn't.  Seems a bit of a pointless change.

On the Discogs API page, it states, Clients must send the "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header. The service will gzip most API responses so your application must be able to decode gzipped data. I don't know if/when this was changed/implemented.

It's pretty much an internet standard at this point; all the major browsers handle it transparently. It's a tradeoff, some slight processing time for a decrease in bandwidth used.

Hi

I have problems with cue+mp3 files. I'd like this component to be able to create cue files from discogs as well, and also to update the cuesheets I already have, but it doens't work (it treats the mp3 as a single song).
Is there a work arround ?

Thanks

As far as cue-sheet updating is concerned it does it without any problems. Just simply load your cue-sheet in foobar then highlight all tracks right-click choose tagging then discogs and then write tags that's it

Hi, I'm new to using foobar.  I was wandering if this mod will include album art any time soon?  (other than that it's a great mod!), otherwise is there any other mod that will allow me to collect album art?

Cheers, Will

Well, up until a few days ago the album art feature was working just fine.  I haven't found anything that I use or like as much.  I've tried using MusicBrainz Picard to fill in until this is fixed, but it seems to pull very little album art for the titles I'm tagging, which makes it mostly useless to me, but YMMV.  Hopefully foo_discogs will be back to its normal, awesome self soon.

Hi all. I'm also new to foobar2000 (I'm using it especially for the Discogs plugin), but I'm running into some problems. See, the thing is, in my whole MP3 vinyl collection, the ARTIST tag is filled with the LABEL info. This so I can browse my collection in iPod easily, by just selecting genre, then a label, and going to the release that I want (how is the rest of the world doing this?). So what I want to do, is that foo_discogs knows that the artist tag actually is the label tag, so that finding the correct release, and downloading the album art (when thats functioning again) will be a piece of cake. I think this shouldn't be too hard, but I can't find it in the configuration anywhere. I think it should be doable if I can just edit the .dll, but I don't know wich app (i'm on OSX btw) I can use to read/edit it. Can anyone give me some hints on how I can effectively use foo_discogs?

Not sure, just type the Artist in on the Find Release dialogue.

Hi.
Forget about editing the .dll, it's a binary file and only robots could do that (outsourced and badly payed coders also).

You could do this:

Right click over song file -> tagging -> discogs -> Edit tag Mappings
In that dialog select "Label".
Change the "Map to:" value from "PUBLISHER" to "ARTIST".

That way, everytime you fill the tag data usinf foo_discogs it will write the name of the label to the artist tag.
If you don't want to lose the real value of the artist, you could
Change the "Map to:" value from "ARTIST" to a custom tag, such as "REAL_ARTIST" o "ARTIST_BACKUP" or whatever.


If you want Foobar to show you the right values in the colums, you could:

Right click over the headers of the colums in discogs
Colums -> More...
And in that dialog you could change the columns mappings to suite the trick you have done.

I don't know how you "right click" on Mac, but you will know for sure.

... the real question here is:
¿Why does'nt modern MP3 players and mobile phones let you browse by "label"??
¿Why don't they let you at least browse by folder?
grrrrrrrr

hi, thanks this is good to know that it's a recent problem and that it would, I assume, be getting a fix soon.  I'll just hold on then.

Manually typing Artist in the Find Release dialogue would do the trick, but doing that for my whole release would be a hell of a job...thx for the hint tough!

And mapping the inputs and getting the columns right is no biggie, but I want foobar to search by label instead of artist so selecting the releases will be a lot easier...is there any option for that?

And yes, I hate it that iTunes/iPod have no functionality for a Label tag. I've gotten used to not being able to browse by folder, actually once you get over the fact that it always sucks to change the way you work, it's actually quite nice to just deal with the id3 tags and not having to deal with which track is where in what folder anymore. But I'm really missing a way to browse by label, since now I have to basically abuse id3 tags to meet my needs...not what I want.

Ideally, foo_discogs will search for the label that is in the artist tag, show all releases by that label, then I would select the corresponding release, and then foo_discogs would combine the catalog_id and the release title to form a combined album tag, which is also the way it is tagged now. I think there is no way to do that with the current foo_discogs, but I could try and program it myself, doesn't seem like a big change..hell, I'm gonna download the source code and see if I can get somewhere, I'll keep you guys posted.

Sounds cool, while you're at it, mind taking a look at the album art code?

Win XP Pro SP3 and I found the GDI file in those directories:

Should I copy the DLL too foobar directory or is that OK?

Besides, is there any fix in progress?

Alright, thinking I could just edit the source to fit my needs was a stupid idea. I'm kinda in over my head here. Think I might need to figure out a different way around this...ah well!
