Manual Search not working

[kmkkorn420]

Hello

i have never ran into an issue when using the manual search to pull in data from discogs. last night it would not work so i updated to current release and it is still saying no data found even though the release info is on discogs. not sure if its just these few cds not working or if a have an issue. its occurred on two different releases so far

Re: Manual Search not working

You could try an older release which worked in the past. Post the discogs disc url here for the one which is not working please.

Re: Manual Search not working

Copy the URL without the bit on the end, such as:

https://www.discogs.com/release/18590104

Re: Manual Search not working

Thanks Spoon, your suggestion works, but until a few days ago there was no need to copy just a part of the URL. Why has the behavior changed?

Re: Manual Search not working

Discogs has changed their URL

Re: Manual Search not working

I had the same problem with

https://www.discogs.com/de/release/18638860-Scavenger-Battlefields

After I have cut the URL to https://www.discogs.com/de/release/18638860 it worked. So thanks for the hint.

Nevertheless I think it would be very helpful if you add a new Textfield "Discogs ID" to the manual search box. I think this ID is unique and I am sure that many users do not know this workaround.
So I would be gratefull if you could add.

I'm trying to manually search this link

https://www.discogs.com/release/15992045-The-Chordettes-Sandmen-Lollipops-Greatest-Hits-1954-61

its active and I can see this record in Discogs.

However, when I paste it in the dbpoweramp, nothing happens.
Any configuration or other considerations I'm missing?

Thanks...

Re: Manual Search not working

You need R17.7 this bug was fixed.

Re: Manual Search not working

Thank you Spoon.
After the upgrade, its working now.

I'm not so sure, Spoon.

I'm using R17.7 on Windows 7 32-bit. The URL copy technique worked once for me last week, but not this week. Have tried copying the URL with and without the trailing text. Is there some special trick to making this work?

Discogs is the only accurate and reliable source for my CD content. FreeDB is hopelessly inaccurate and the other two sources rarely have my CDs. So without Discogs, my ripping is on hold.

Since the URLs can change at any time, perhaps it would be a good idea to keep the relevant code in a config file that could be available for users to download and install as needed. That way we won't have to wait for the next dBpoweramp release.

I'm a new user and otherwise the ripper is working great for me. Hope a solution can be found soon.

UPDATE: Never mind, I figured it out. The copy URL trick only works when the Manual Tag Edit window is already open.
