i now see the problem with "Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6". it's because the component uses "&type=artists". if you don't search with a "type" specified, then you get the 10 results..

v1.30 available (autoupdate or components site or download link in first post)

- master releases are now handled and can be expanded
- album art fetching is more robust and should never write non-image files
- fixed search filter lowercasing working only on ascii characters

Let me know if there are any issues.

still can't find Ivica Vanevski & Saturn 6


This is a Discogs bug: http://www.discogs.com/search?type=artists...ki+%26+Saturn+6  doesn't return anything either.

wow, that release looks good! thank you.
expanding master releases is quite a nice feature! unfortunately, the plugin window itself is very tiny to have a good look at more releases at once 8-]
i did not had any troubles until now, everything worked as expected. great!

a general question:

why is it, that if a file already has a discogs-release-id your fine plugin doesnt show/fetch the artist again?
the artist field is empty and must be filled by hand to get his releases.
i found this a bit inconvenient because if i like to check for other releases of the same artist, i have to type the artist name manually although it is in the mp3-tag.

No promise but I agree that the windows should be resizable.

I considerered that if you open the tagging dialog release again on an already tagged release, it's probably to update the tags (because you added some new mappings).
So I made it easy to just click next for that use case.

As per fuffi and marc2003’s posts, appending &type=all to the URL alleviates this.

So apparently Discogs does not store this string as an artist, and yet there’s this: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Ivica+Vanevski+%26+Saturn+6

The plugin search for *artists*. &type=all won't return any artist, just single releases of that artist. I'm not going to workaround every Discogs bug.

I'm not going to workaround every Discogs bug.

of course. but users (we) will generally complain here, as they (we) don't know, why a plugin is non-functional in a way it should be, because it is expected to work in the needed way :-) this comes out very clear if we (the users) read the last dozens posts where everybody is asking why there are not the expected search-results and if its the plugin that failed :)

you could add an "expert" textfield, if filled with an usergiven query-string, will overwrite the query-string, you commit to the discogs search.

that said, a user-customizable user-agent could be also a big help.

and because we all know the reality of things, new questions will arrive, asking, why something is not working, because we changed the default query-string or user-agend-string :)

i really appreciate all your work for us, the users! thanks.

Thanks bubbleguuum, you are the master

Hi, I had to register to say that.
I'm using Discogs Tagger and I like it. But it lacks one field for the tags: Barcode and Other Identifiers. These are being separated from general Notes for quite some time now on Discogs, and Discogs Tagger is oblivious to that.

Also, I've got one question: why doesn't it update/rewrite tags immediately after they've been edited on Discogs? Does it depend on Discogs or is it some kind of caching in the Tagger?

AFAIK they are not available through the API

Yes there is caching. If you manually update a release on Discogs after it has been fetched, use the "Clear release cache" button found in the find release dialog.

Thanks for reply.
I checked, and it's not supported by API, I'll make a request at Discogs forums then.

Hi bubbleguuum,

in addition to my other screenshots containing "html-glitches", some posts above,
here is another (very) small issue ",," with the newest version:

Hi bubbleguuum

Nice job with the update.  Being able to select master copies and find the individual release is great.

Just to share my 2cents though, at the moment to download album art users have to go into the settings, it can only be on or off. Users may wish to only download art for say, releases with missing artwork.  A checkbox allowing users to choose whether or not they download the artwork would really enhance it's usefulness.  The setting in the options could simply be it's default value.

Can whatever is being changed to fix these dlls be turned into a user-editable option? Is it just the server address or something?


bubbleguuum has released version 1.30 which should solve the problem. Scroll up or look at this post.

hi,

i've got trouble with the latest version 1.30.

when looking for releases for "sandman"  (artist), the plugin only shows artists(n) >10, so the artist, sandman (2) which exists in the discogs db is not shown.

please have a look at the screenshot, which shows less artists as the discogs web-search did.


does anybody encounter such thing too? and how could i get ALL the results the discogs web-search shows inside the plugin?

Untick "exact matches" to see missing entries appear. The distinction between exact and non-exact matches seems arbitrary when you look at the response of this request

http://api.discogs.com/search?type=artists&q=Sandman

Another Discogs weirdness.

Is it possible to get titles and cover art to show up automatically when I play a CD with foobar using this plugin? (Like some other media players do it.)

Nope, but you can use this fine plugin here (Biography View) and move over to the corresponding thread.

"There were some errors. Look in foobar's console for details."

This is preventing me from tagging anything. Yes, I have 1.30. How do I fix this?
