Hello, I have the same problem.
Situation
In December I could use MP3tag (v3.28) searching Discogs. Now it fails with the (partly Dutch) error message:
Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1).
>12002: 12002: Er heeft een time-out van de bewerking plaatsgevonden.
Note, "Er heeft een time-out van de bewerking plaatsgevonden." is Dutch for: "The operation timed out."
What I tried so far
- Remove the "mp3tag.cfg" from "%AppData%\Mp3tag". I even removed the whole directory without results.
- I ran CCleaner (free edition) to clean my system and Spybot Search & Destroy (free edition) too. I removed the Immunization applied by Spybot, assuming it could be a problem like "using a firewall". But it was not...
- I revoked all the MP3tag authorizations in my account at Discogs -> Settings -> Applications. Not triggering a new authorization request, so I think there is no connection established for some reason. Therefore, I suspect the time-out occurs before connecting tot Discogs.com.
- Increased the timeout in MP3tag from 10 (the default) to 120 seconds.
- I only have this error when connecting to Discogs. Connecting to freedb and MusicBrainz is not a problem.
Question
Does anybody have a solution how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
My system and software versions
- MP3tag version 3.28 (Dutch language).
- Windows 11 Pro version 24H2, build 26100.2605 (Dutch language). Including the latest updates.
Found topics on this forum
I did try the 'solutions' suggested from the following topics without fixing the time-out error.
- Failed to authenticate to Discogs (Feb 2022).
I don't use a firewall other than the default one in Windows 11. No specific rules and no changes between December 2024 and January 2025. - Failed to authenticate >12002:12002 only for Discogs (Oct 2021).
My system-time is accurate and disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet does not fix the time-out either. - Discogs authorization setup (Okt 2014).
Including the articles mentioned there. - Discogs and Oauth (Dec 2014).
I do have an account at Discogs, logging in and revoking all 10 or so MP3tag authorizations there doesn't do the trick. - Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1) (May 2016).
I cannot find this "Pone Mod" script, so I assume I'm not using it. And I don't get the same error codes (12157 or 403) mentioned there. - Timeout when running Audible via API Tag Source on Mac (Sep 2024).
Although I'm running MP3tag on Windows 11
