Discogs Genre Issue

#1

Hi there

Since upgrading to v7, Jaikoz doesn’t seem to be pulling the genre through for me from Discogs.

I have it set to use the Discog’s style and always replace values. This worked perfectly before.

For example I tagged the Primal Scream Dixie Narco EP using the full tagger (MB & Discogs). It has picked up the musicbrainz id’s and added two discogs url’s for release (http://www.discogs.com/release/50306) and artist (http://www.discogs.com/artist/3852) but nothing in genre.

To further investigate I ripped out all of the tags on the EP bar the artist, album, title & year and set the discogs preferences to always replace and left genre as based on Discogs Style (max: 5) and tagged via discogs only.

It appears that the only fields being updated are as follows:

ALBUM
ARTIST
ARTISTS
BARCODE
CATALOGNUMBER
DISC NUMBER
MUSICBRAINZ ALBUM STATUS
MUSICBRAINZ ALBUM TYPE
TITLE
TRACK
WWW DISCOGS_ARTIST
WWW DISCOGS_RELEASE
YEAR
COVER

Still no genre, which according to the discogs page should pull from the styles - Leftfield, Dub, Downtempo, Gospel, Indie Rock

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards

Mog

HI, no I think it much more likely you have found a regression. I’ve raised http://jthink.net:8081/browse/JAIKOZ-865 and expect to do a bug fix release within two weeks, thankyou for letting me know.

#3

The problem is that a regression was introduced and the genre fields now reacts to grouping options rather than genre options. This is fixed in Jaikoz 7.1 due for release today or tommorrow.

Excellent news.

Tried out v7.1 and I’m getting a lot of 0 matching discogs releases, despite the fact I know they are there.

I’m pretty much using the default discogs settings, but with group by folder.

For instance

Artist: Jesus and Mary Chain
Album: Head On
Tracks 4

I can find this as discogs release: 839221 and do a manual match which pulls through everything including the genres but no match via automated.

The musicbrainz side is fine, and acoustic ids too, but just not the auto for discogs.

Is there some problem with your discogs mirror?

#6

I don’t think the issue is with the server but pleas esend me your support files so I can investigate further.

#7

You could be correct but it seems that a manual search using Discogs works when the auto match hasn’t. I’ve pm’d you my logs from tonight.

Hi, looking at your results of searching for Pychocandy by Jesus and Mary Chain (seminal album) Jaikoz is getting results back from the server, but for some reason it is not managing to calculate a score for any of the results and so a result is not chosen.

So I think there is a mismatch between the data returned and what Jaikoz is expecting, but because so far it seems to be working for me the data problem must only be for certain releases.Ive rased http://www.jthink.net:8081/browse/JAIKOZ-877 and plan to do a new Jaikoz release next week with a fix for this issue.

#9

Hi, turns out to be a silly bug i introduced as part of the discogs code rewrite, now fixed ( see details on http://www.jthink.net:8081/browse/JAIKOZ-877 report) . Im afraid i cannot do a new release tomorrow because I amm way for the weekend but I will do a new release early next week.
