Your second question:
Go to
LABEL & SERIES
and edit the lines to:
if more than one label:
(again with a space after the comma, do the same for:
if more than one series:
never delete any lines)
Thanks man!! I appreciate it! I hope I'm not too annoying!
Is there any way to automatically put the [featuring] artist in MIXARTIST field in the ARTIST field together with original artist? E.g. "Original Artist feat. Mix Artist" ?
I think I built in somethink like that. Not sure how it worked. Give me an example release so I can try.
I'm sorry. It doesn't work. There is a function which seperate choosen artist roles from the rest of the Extraartis, but if you want to write them into the ARTIST field, the main artist is deleted:
Extrafields: >ARTIST:Rap<
(not working)
This here would work, but it gives you just another extra field:
Extrafields: >FEATURING ARTIST:Rap<
Maybe I will have a look into that, but not too soon, as this has no priority.
Yeah, no problem!
It's kind of an annoying problem because some releases are written like the way I want.
Like this one for example: http://www.discogs.com/Showtek-Today-Is-To.../release/954781
All featuring artists are in artist field together with original artist.
Edit: With that previous release I linked you ( http://www.discogs.com/Ab-Soul-Control-Sys...release/4715637 )... There's something wierd when downloading its info with your plugin
This is my preview window:
Lots of names in MIXARTISTS are screwed up, some are fairly correct but lots of them all over the place. What happened?
Hi, first of all thx for sharing your scripts, it's helping me a lot when i'm adding new mp3 files. But, for my existing collection (which I don't want to modify too much) I'm seeking a way to update my files with only YEAR and COVER. As I said, I do this when adding a new song, one by one, and after alternating your script settings, but I don't seem to work when I select multiple files. What do I do wrong? Basicly I want the earliest year in the search result and matching cover to be updated automaticly for multiple files. So, when selecting 10 different songs, I'm looking for a way that the YEAR & COVER are automaticly updated for those 10 files at the same time. Now only the first is treated. Is that possible anyway?
It works only when all files are from the same album/release.
Hey, pone
Like I mentioned few posts above MIXARTISTS field is acting strange.
I noticed that again tagging this release, here's the screenshot:
And this is the link to the release: http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Wire-An...release/1256092
Everything is messed up as you can see on my screenshot. What is going on?
It's a bug with the extrafields function of the script. As I explained, this should be able to split any function from the MIXARTISTS field and put it into an extra field. Doing this for any function and including the possibility to merge the over-all album credits with the individual credits for eacht track, but still keeping different credits for each track, that was a little bit too much. My script got so complicated that it's really hard for me to spot the exact point where the problem is and find a way to solve it.
Best thing is you don't use the extrafields function:
Go into the ARTIST NAMES section of the setting file and set all instances of "Extrafields" to:
Extrafields: >
(with nothing after the arrow)
Hey!
Is there a possibility for nothing to be written in DISCNUMBER field for file releases (mp3s, wavs).
There is an option now that I set it to "0" but it seems to be not working.
Also is there a possibility for DISCNUMBER field to be written like this: 1/2, instead of just 1 or just 2.
These are my settings currently.
What am I doing wrong?
"0" for file releases is correct, this should work. Don't know what's wrong there. I will have a look when I have some time.
"Totaldiscs: >" is not yes/no, but the name of tag field or empty. You choose the same field as for "Discnumber: >" or an extra field.
Try this:
Discnumber: >DISCNUMBER
Totaldiscs: >DISCNUMBER
It works now, thanks.
But I can confirm file releases still number discnumber as 1 even though I set it to 0 as it can be seen here it still wants to add discnumber:
Thank you so much!.. 
Hi pone,
I have a strange behaviour of your script, but I assume it is a Discogs thing.
I entered a couple of days ago some new music into the Disocgs database.
When I tried to tag it the script only delivered the DATE field and nothing else.
So I tried some older releases added a long time ago to the databse and the work just fine.
I tried it with Discogs-ID, Discogs-Url, Artist-Album everytime the same thing. New additions bad, old additions good.
I have added two debug logs. Hope you can make sense of it.
debug.rar (96.1 KB)
The problem is the missing cover image. Looks like discogs changes something there. Discogs has changed something there. I don't exactly what, but there was never a spacer.gif dummy file for missing covers.
I will fix that soon. Thanks for reporting.
Hi pone,
another problem:
It seems your script does not download the covers anymore even if there exist some.
Can you confirm that?
example: http://www.discogs.com/Broombeck-The-Story...release/5281242
Yes, Discogs changed something. They require now for images to have a registered appID and authentication by oAuth to be able to download images, which might be quite a problem ...
Here is the Discogs topic: http://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/52950c194c5e2e7adca760a0
Just figured out s.pixogs com is working without authentication.
replace "uri=\"http://api.discogs.com/" "uri=\"http://s.pixogs.com/"
should do the job.
Hi,
Can you please explain exactly where should we change it?
Thanks!
