When I want to use discogs in Mp3tag, the message "Failled to authenticate using OAuth (1)." When I turn off my PC, it works fine once. Then the same message "Failled to authenticate using OAuth (1)." comes back again.
On another of my PCs, everything works perfectly and I am very happy with the Mp3tag application. How do I fix this problem?
I use the updated version of Mp3tag (v3.12). Windows 10 64bits.
I speak French and have difficulty speaking and reading English but I use DeepL to help me! Please be indulgent.

Search for "Oauth(1)" and you will find many threads.

Hello ohrenkino

I changed the discogs.inc file but it didn't solve my problem

I doubt that that was a tip anywhere in the threads.
Check your system clock and CMOS battery.

As I said:
Check your system time.

But you are able to have a look at the time display at the bottom right of the task bar, I presume?

I put an exclusion in my firewall and it seems to have solved the problem!

It worked for a few days but since then the Mp3tag application does not work properly despite the exclusion of Mp3tag in Kaspersky? I don't know what to do to solve the problem (see attached file)?

My clock is set to the correct time, my internet is working, i'm using the .src that came with the newest installation of Mp3Tag, changing the .cfg file doesn't fix it, etc. I'm using v3.10b.
