CTDB EAC Plugin V. 2.2.3 Problems.

Specs:
OS: Windows 10
EAC Version: V. 1.6
CTDB EAC Plugin: V. 2.2.3

First Problem:
I still encounter the no Coverart issue on version V. 2.2.3 of CTDB in EAC,
It worked on one CD i ripped (Gorillaz - Plastic Beach KAT: 5099962616720) when i was switching CTDB versions about 3 Weeks ago, i think it was on 2.1.6 or 2.2.2 where it worked, but as of now it dosent work on any of the versions for EAC 1.6. it would be nice if it still works or could be fixed in the next version of CTDB or EAC, as of now i'm ignoring Coverart in EAC and switched to getting Coverart externaly but it would be more convenient
to do that inside of EAC.
Second Problem:
The Metadata Search takes forever most of the time on Extensive Search when already every version of the CD from every Metadata Provider is on the Screen you have to wait until it stops to get to the next step of ripping.
Would it help if i turned Coverart seach completely of in the CTDB options when im already not using it?

Note: There was a update last week to the CTDB with regard to the MusicBrainz library.
Is this issue still happening in the past 7 days?

How about a few CTDB TOCID's (from the EAC extraction logs) that I can do some checking on my end.

Yes Extensive Search can take a long time

Selecting Primary for the Covers search mode should be quicker than Extensive. None should be quicker than Primary.[/quote]

I'm not seeing a coverart issue with the first rip. EAC 1.6, plugin 2.2.3, Extensive, Extensive


Are you sure you copied all 8 plugin files to the EAC directory (overwriting and replacing)?
Do you have Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable installed?

Are all 8 plugin dll files unblocked?

I will check but what do you mean with "unblocked"?

There is no box to block or unblock the files an that means they are not blocked,
But could it be that it is not working because i have EAC installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Exact Audio Copy"
I will make a Backup of EAC to my the root Directotry of my "C:\" Drive and see if it will work there.

Moved EAC to "C:\Exact Audio Copy" and made sure that all CTDB Files were unblocked and had still no luck.
Search Mode Extensive  Extensive Large

I tried a fresh EAC install on a fresh Windows 11 machine but I haven't been able to duplicate your issue.
