    The last week or so, Tagscanner can connect to Discogs for album info, but all covers are crosses.
    So there is a connection but without albumart.

    Anyone else having this issue? I use the latest version of TagScanner (6.1.17)

    Hi, TagScanner with Discogs doesn't show me the covers, but on MusicBrainz it does. I don't understand, up until 1 month ago it didn't even work with the same version.

    For a month, same for me, no covers with Discogs : "Unknown protocol".
    With MusicBrainz, no pb, I get the cover.
    The Dev answer me the problem is Discogs.
    Could Discogs have a check in their system, or make an annoncement about this?
    Thank you so much ;)

    We could start a worldwide movement known as "the rebellion of music collectors" against Discogs for their inaction / lack of information regarding this very serious problem with their interaction with TagScanner. Is there any way to bring this problem to the attention of the Discogs developers other than by posting a message here on this forum? I haven't seen any contact section or to send suggestions for improvement...

    Yes we need that. But is it Discogs or TagScanner? I suspect the last one.

    mmmm so it is possible that with an old version of TagScanner it can work correctly? I love these updates that serve to stop the program from working properly (note the irony). The bad thing would be that the old versions would stop working when a new version comes out :S

    It's up to TagScanner to work with Discogs API and not the other way around. Have you thought of contacting the former rather than blaming the latter? How's the worldwide movement going?

    P.S. MP3Tag works just fine.

    Yes, I contacted TagScanner and they responded indicating that the problem was with Discogs... well, the usual... Discogs has not yet responded to the ticket I opened reporting this situation. The global movement is dead... I was expecting massive support for my revolutionary idea but it hasn't happened, I see myself alone in this war. I was previously a Mp3Tag user but looking for convenience, speed and execution of the process in fewer steps... even being able to create automation scripts for this process, the Tagscanner interface makes the task much simpler and faster... except for the problem that it doesn't drag the cover art of course.

    Discogs will have no response to why your favourite 3rd party application doesn't work. Maybe something changed since 11 April 2024 when TagScanner last released an update?

    TagScanner developer's response to the email sent reporting this problem:

    "Hi,I receive many reports about this problem. Discogs changed something on their side. Currently I can't understand why Discogs stops returning image urls even for authenticated requests because it works for me and some other users. May you exceed limit to 60 requests per minute and Discogs banned your account. Which Windows are you using? Do you have correct regional setting and timezone?

    Are we at a dead end?

    They have zero idea what they are talking about. Your personal account is not used when accessing images from Discogs through a 3rd party app. Thankfully they stopped short of "have you tried turning it off and then back on again?"

    Hi,I am Tagscanner developer.

    In fact discogs don't allow to download covers in Russia due to requests blocked by Cloudflare, but I get image urls from api. And when I use VPN (different locations) I can dowload images.
    My question about timezone respect to known issue with requests signature.

    There is no official anouncements about any changes in API.
    My assumption was that Discogs changed rate limit algorithm and starts control not only IP and user-agent but user token.

    Also this problem not only with my application https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/1083793
    And its look like Discogs broke sothething because their official app not worked https://www.discogs.com/forum/topic/19

    Discogs also changed unicode encoding inside release response so non-latin chars not showed correctly (easy to fix).

    P.S. I know mp3tag still works with Discogs but it use own caching server to proxy requests to covers.

    user token.

    Apps need Authentication to get images, not sure if that changed. (edit - I see you have that.)

    But as you say, it seems likely they have blocked your app one way ot the other, don't you think?

    We encountered the same issue for https://www.cratebase.io and we managed to fix it - Discogs made a small unannounced (and probably unintended) change to the API and the way you format the timestamp in the header of your requests. It makes no sense at all, but that is the issue that causes the release response to come in without image urls and that is the way to fix it.
