I used the discogs tagging feature in Mp3tag 2.71 for many months without problems.
I suddenly receive this error: "Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1)."
I attempt to use the discogs tagging feature in foobar2000. I receive a similar error: "(skipped) Error: Authorization Failed (401) [Is OAuth working?] - (url: http://api.discogs.com/oauth/request_token)"
I attempt to fix the error by deleting the Mp3tags application from my discogs settings.
Step 4 fails to fix the error.
no dialogue within discogs settings to re-authorize Mp3tag. It just seems like the messages are blocked...
musicbrainz, amazon and freedb tagging works fine.
anyone else experiencing this? any help to fix this is much appreciated.
I followed the steps and found that my discogs.src file already contains these settings. also tried combinations suggested in the posts that followed:
[WordSeperator]=%20
[Encoding]=url-utf-8
[WordSeperator]=%20
[Encoding]=utf-8
[WordSeparator]=%20
[Encoding]=url-utf-8
[WordSeparator]=%20
[Encoding]=utf-8
OAuth error still occurs. It appears that my error is not related to the thread you linked. as I said in my OP, this is happening in foobar2000 as well.
I created a new discogs account, to see if my old discogs account was causing the error. I tested the discogs tagging feature in Mp3tag, while logged into my new discogs account. once again, I get an OAuth error.
Then: check that you get the right mp3tag.cfg file (and rename it to start the authorization again)
Have a look at the installation folder and the folder %appdata%\mp3tag.
(It has to be something local, I would say. And as hardly anybody can see over your shoulder from the distance of this forum, you have to investigate a lot yourself).
Same problem here. Works if it's one word. Changing the cfg file loses all my custom configs, so that's out. Wish there was a better way. Currently I use a single word search and scour through the results. Curious as to why it suddenly stopped functioning properly. I hadn't changed anything on my end.
The word limiter is a problem of the src file - that has nothing to do with the authorization.
If the authorization fails, you have to do something about that and the only way I can think of is removing the cfg file.
I changed the name of mp3tag.cfg - still the same error OAuth error. No application request in discogs.
I tried a fresh install of mp3tag, including deleting all appdata. After re-installing mp3tag 2.72, I get the same OAuth error and still nothing in discogs application settings.
