Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

Does look like a bug, I assumed freedb was checked also.

Spoon:

If freedb is the only meta provider set in batch ripper, the search succeeds and of course wireshark shows the appropriate traffic.

If freedb and AMG are both selected, metadata is retrieved from freedb but as usual, there is absolutely no traffic to AMG seen in Wireshark at all.

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

OK, I have a registered version too now, and the problem still exists on my machine too, so certainly looks like a genuine bug, and not a given installation.

Situation:
1) Fresh installation of Windows XP Pro, SP2.
2) Installed dmc trial version, batch ripper, FLAC, Vorbis codecs.
<Problem occurs, explained by unregistered dmc>
3) Registered, and downloaded dmc registered version. (this is considerably larger download than trial. why?)
4) Un-installed dmc trial.
5) Installed registered version.
<problem still occurs>

Spoon, are you able to recreate the problem in your lab?

It will be a while before we can test for this.

I hope it won't be too long before you can resolve this.

The primary reason I bought dBpoweramp (and two extra CD/DVD drives) was for the batch ripping capability and until this problem is resolved I am dead in the water.

Hopefully it will be a simple fix.

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

I am also having the same problem. When I tried using the free trial lookups the batch ripper did not pull any data from AMG. Figuring I had nothing to loose I purchased 500 lookups and after filling in my credentials the batch ripper started pulling data from AMG. When I remove my credentials it goes back to saying I have 400 lookups available but does not pull any data.

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

This is all a bit over my head (technically). BUT I think my problem might be related:

---
Rips in CD Ripper work fine: Artwork is present.

Rips with Batch Ripper I am having an issue: Artwork is NOT present.

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

Adam - it's a simple test. In Batch Ripper click on the Meta icon in the menu and deselect all active providers except AMG.

Then test rip a CD. If it instantly rejects (no meta data), then you have the same problem that others in this thread are experiencing.

Yup, ejects (no meta data). I am in same boat.

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

So if I understand this correctly, Batch Ripper has been out for a couple years? How did previous users get album art? I just bought the software and tried two batches (3cds then 70) only to be stuck without any album art using the standard defaults once the software is installed.

Hmmm How do I get FreeDB to give me album art, or is there little/no album art out of this service?

Hi jbryngelson,

I am new to dbpoweramp. I have found it excellent at finding album art. I did not have as much luck with freedb.

This thread is in regards to a found bug (think I am correct in stating that) with the most current version of 'Batch Ripper' not querying AMG (and thus not pulling artwork when used). Previous versions I am guessing did not have this bug.

Cheers,

Adam

Re: Problem getting AMG to work in Batch Ripper

Freedb never has artwork. The bug in Batch Ripper only relates to the free lookups, it will lookup AMG with commercial lookups. This issue will be looked at asap.

Congratulations - your fix works and AMG is being queried.

Thanks for resolving the problem. A pleasure doing business with you.
