Getting "Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1)." when using Discogs as tag source.
I've tried revoking authorisation and installing 2.89c but no luck.

Hi guys, unfortunately it still doesn't work - "Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1)."
Windows 7 x64
version 2.89c
script version 1.04 (Discogs ID)
On Monday everything was ok, but on Tuesday it stopped working ((
Who could resolve it?
