Release with "Various Artists" as artist freezes foobar / discogger indefinitely
Hi. Just a quick report - trying to tag this: https://catapulterecords.bandcamp.com/album/catapulte-war-grooves Discogger (latest, "Author: dayuyu Version: 1.0.21.1 Compiled: Sep 13 2024 fb2k SDK: 20230923 80" ) goes into a complete freeze (shen seemingly attempting to pre-fetch the artist / i.e. before being able to insert the url / id - or rather, inputting the ID works, but nothing happens and then the UI completely locks up).
ps. tried to just rename the metadata to not Various Artists. And it still freezes briefly, but the pre fetch window disappears aftyer a few seconds, after which I was then able to tag it with this https://www.discogs.com/release/1726420-Various-Catapulte-War-Grooves
Churs. c.
Hi, thanks for reporting.
goes into a complete freeze (seemingly attempting to pre-fetch the artist / i.e. before being able to insert the url / id - or rather, >inputting the ID works, but nothing happens and then the UI completely locks up).
I tested those nine tracks and release ID but I was not able to replicate this issue, no complete lockups nor freezes. Enabling or disabling the auto-search and auto-load searching preferences made no difference. Nothing unexpected in the console messages (SSD was ready, CPU load below 50%).

In my experience, mostly using very basic layouts/visualizations, undemanding DSP chains and low bitrates, freezes of approx. 200 milliseconds are expected behavior (neither rare, nor exclusive to this component in particular). I would suggest, if you have not done it already, to discard specific bugs related to the Catapulte release in a fresh portable installation. Cheers!
Happens to me also. A long wait always, but after a minute it usually finishes with whatever was in the works. However if I'm impatient and try click here and there to abort, the whole shebang could crash. No tricky configuration involved. UI-wise, just Playback Controls, Playlist Manager, and Playlist View components.
My bad... I see what is wrong after testing this issue again. I am trying to get this fixed these days, so hopefully the next release will solve the issue.
Also, the next release will introduce new search syntax for various artists, artist + title, ... Here are some screenshots showing the new search field functionality:
