Examples of albums the plug-in does not find, despite being in the database

Open sfMan opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

don't know if it's problem of my foobar instance or of the plugin itself - it cannot find all releases that are present on discogs, Examples: Moby - Always centered at night Brodka – WAWA Sanah - Can you love me for who i'm?

Since these are new releases, I think that's a cache 'issue'. Not an issue per se, but rather an opinionated approach of how plugin deals with cache by default, that isn't aligned with expectations of a regular person. Please refer to #111 discussion where you could find the solution.

I just posted this on the forum thread, but putting it here too: This is because unfortunately the plugin by default does not delete the disk cache. It's bizarre and nobody loves it, but @ghuDaYuYu has not had a chance to fully fix it yet. I would note, though, that there are beta versions of the component on #111 which you can try.

The most complete way to fix this is to find the artist ID in the disk cache and delete it altogether (or if you're feeling extreme, delete all the artist folders...) I do suggest clearing the cache in the plugin preferences as well - it's in the Cache tab.

Open your foobar2000 profile folder (if you don't know it, open File menu, Directories, browse Profile Directory). From there, go to the foo_discogger-cache subfolder. Then open artists subfolder.

Now you need to find the artist ID - e.g. go to Moby's main page on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1031-Moby His ID is 1031.

Just delete that folder and then look up the artist/release again.
