Plugin has stopped fetching data yesterday.
Btw, a small suggestion: could you support "Producer"-tag mapping?

Since yesterday I can't get any tags.

discogs error: release id=200917: XML parse error

hello,

i just wanted to add some information about this issue.

the last days i recognized, that the fine discogs-plugin does not find the same results as the websearch of discogs's site does.

i entered the same query on the website and fortunately i got all the results i expected, copied the release-ID to the plugins "release-id or url"-box and went fine.

unfortunately, this is pretty much overhead on work by myself :-)

please let me know, if i can give more useful informations. i manually checked the websearch on 4 or 10 searches with the plugin, so i guess this is pretty simple to reproduce with some music to tag. if not, let me know, i will send some names like in my post above.

Hello.  I guess this is a feature request.  Now that Discogs has a digital section for buying MP3/WAV, is there any chance to look up info from these releases?  It would be helpful for tagging non-vinyl/cd releases.

e.g. http://www.discogs.com/mp3/Esp-Its-On-You/1477449

Thanks!

Hi folks,
I just started to use foobar200 recently again and imported/converted a lot of music to FLAC. Using the discogs plugin for album art, i received a lot of jpgs of 20 bytes size (ca. 30%, rest are ok). These jpgs a corrupted and not complete. Did anybody had this problem before. Didn't find any discussion about that before.

Best regards,
Nils

Same issue with jpg here. Something was changed at discogs.com again.

hi had this issue some "years" ago, if i remember correclty, and couldnt do anything about it
just wait. meanwhile, to avoid the broken files, you could set not to fetch the album art in the confuguration dialogue of discogs, or not to overwrite existing files. (not quite a solution, i know...)

btw:
is there an option/a way to *automaticly* embedd album-art-images to the music-file(s)?

Would it be possible to allow choosing of different versions after selecting a master? Example: I was searching for TV On The Radio – Nine Types Of Light and it found (correctly) a single entry - http://www.discogs.com/TV-On-The-Radio-Nin...t/master/330638 - but the version I have is listed among the 7 versions for this master - http://www.discogs.com/TV-On-The-Radio-Nin...release/2852104. This way I have to go to discogs.com and search manually for the release ID and then enter it in the dialog box. It would be nice if we got to choose from a list of version upon selecting a master, for example a list of versions with number of tracks in brackets that would display track list upon cliking. This is probably too much but I'll ask anyway.

Basically the latest version is unfortunately somewhat incomplete, and bubbleguuum seems to have a bit on his plate, so meanwhile it's strongly recommended you revert to the "fixed" version of 1.26, which works fine with the Discogs API changes:

Thank you, works flawlessly!

I like to ask for a GUI enhancement: Resizable Window.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Just a resizable "Find Release" window.

-if you have a 24" screen and need to scroll a tiny 320x240 pixel window makes you feel like you're back in the 90s...
-if you have a 19" or 17" screen, its the same...
-if you have a 15" screen, i'm really really sorry for you :*)

If you view the corrupted jpeg in notepad you'll see this message:

"500 Client Refused"

Wish I knew how to fix this...

Re corrupted jpegs, are you using this version?
http://www.multiupload.com/UH22MN91GC

It's version 1.26 hex-edited to change the name of the client as far as I know. It's still completely compatible with Discogs, just doesn't use the new API, and the latest foo_discogs, which does use the new API, has the additional problem of only retrieving master versions of albums. So this is the one to go with.

I've tried both, they have approx the same failure rate for album art from what I've found.
And 1.29 has been working fine for me for tagging (also tested this with 1.26+fix to make sure i wasn't missing anything, and it seems fine too).

I've been using foo_discogs a fair bit recently and not found any problems with album art. Can you let me know a couple of discogs IDs of albums that are failing for you? Might as well try from over here and confirm...

no results found


It looks like discogs is blocking the User-Agent again:

Code: [Select]
GET /release/49769?f=xml&api_key=df4f42ee8c HTTP/1.1
Host: www.discogs.com
Connection: close
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: Opera/9.80.00000
Accept: */*

500 Client Refused


I uploaded another fixed DLL of foo_discogs 1.26 here:

Let's see how long this will work...

still can't find Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6

yesterday, after i read your post, i tested and it couldnt find "Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6", but it found "Ivica Vanevski" and "Saturn 6" (single attempts just to see, if the plugin finds anything and it did.).
i'm using the patched version.

seems strange to me, that the useragend is sometimes blocked and sometimes not.


EDIT:
to be more specifiy about the "patched" version:
i didnt tested it with that version from traxy:

Simplistic question from an outsider: is it anything to do with the fact that the ampersand is reserved as a delimiter of variable=value pairs appended to HTTP URLs?

Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6


i just tested this using wireshark (a program which monitors all network traffic) and it seems to be a problem on the discogs side. as far as the component is concerned, this is a successful server response even though it doesn't contain the data you want.

Code: [Select]
<resp stat="ok" version="1.0" requests="2"><searchresults numResults="0" /></resp>


@db1989, it encodes the artist name/ampersand properly as i'd expect from anyone capable of putting a foobar2000 component together.

Code: [Select]
GET /search?type=artists&q=Ivica%20Vanevski%20%26%20Saturn%206&f=xml&api_key=XXXXXX HTTP/1.1\r\n

just for the fun of it:
(i use firefox)

if i enter:
Code: [Select]
http://www.discogs.com/search?type=artists&q=Ivica%20Vanevski%20%26%20Saturn%206
(from the code by marc2003/wireshark) in the URL-bar,

the result is a changing URL in firefox
Code: [Select]
ttp://www.discogs.com/search?type=artists&q=Ivica Vanevski %26 Saturn 6
and the search-field of the discogs site has now a value of Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6 but not results for the artist.

after that, i press the search icon (magnifying glass) with that search-term "entered", i get 10 results.
the URL in firefox has then changed to:
Code: [Select]
http://www.discogs.com/search?q=Ivica+Vanevski+%26+Saturn+6&btn=&type=all


i also recognized, that the search-engine of discogs (website) is kinda picky about special chars, like the ampersand, so i manually delete all the special chars if i use the search engine via the website and mostly get useful results.

EDIT:
*now* i'm using the patched version from traxy (fix2) :-) the older one does not work here anymore. so thank you very much!!

Of course! Not that I intended to question anyone’s competence.

But hey, I might not have been completely wrong, according to fuffi’s latest post. Seems it may be prudent to change the separator from an ASCII space to a plus symbol.
