hi,
i was using album picture plugin all the time and everything was fine until last night. was trying to find few covers but now im only getting "no matches found..." message.  use to just use google search, but i tried them all, discogs, slothradio etc. but non of them worked. and just to make sure i tried albums that i already found the covers before, so not like im searching for some unknown albums :)

any ideas? thanks.

Same here, except slothradio still works.
gmusicbrowser 1.1.9
Ubuntu 12.04. KDE.

This issue is now effecting me as well

Does not matter what search engine or search pattern I use, nothing works

VSIDO (Debian SID) with the latest GIT version of GMB

The only one that is working is slothradio

last.fm is also working...

It is the google and google hi res that is no longer giving anything, no results and there is nothing happening in terminal when you try a google search

Discogs does a search but returns nothing

This is what is going on in terminal when running a search for a cover with discogs

Looks like discogs doesn't allow hotlinking images.

If you try to load an image directly, it returns 403 forbidden. If you load the website first, then you can load the image directly.

Try the first link in your browser, then the second and then the first one again.

Same problem here...... any solution?


Sorry for not replying, but I've fixed it in the 1.1.11 release 2 weeks ago.
I've removed discogs (as anon said they have disabled hotlinking, so I've choosen to disable it) and freecovers (API doesn't work anymore), updated google images, and added bing and yahoo (mostly because I thought I wouldn't be able to make google image work again)
