Bug#705164: gmpc-plugins: Metadat Handler uses outdated API

[Etienne Millon]

Hello,

I'm afraid that this can't be fixed for wheezy. The newer version of
gmpc uses a new system based on libglyr to fetch lyrics, I'll upload a
snapshot to experimental ASAP.

For a workaround, you can disable the discogs plugin in Music -
Preferences - Metadata Handler - uncheck DiscoGS Artist and Album
Image Fetcher.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for this bug report.

 Hello,
 
 I'm afraid that this can't be fixed for wheezy. 

That's fine, of course, and not unexpected. :) I'm sorry for reporting
this so late in the prep for Wheezy but just learned why I couldn't
access discogs.com for the last few months yesterday.

 The newer version of gmpc uses a new system based on libglyr to fetch
 lyrics, I'll upload a snapshot to experimental ASAP.

 Image Fetcher.

Thanks, I did that as soon as I get the answer back from discogs.  I
just wanted to get this out there so that others that may potentially
get bitten by this know that there's a problem (and how to mitigate it).

 
 Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for this bug report.


It's not a problem in the least. Thanks for all you do with helping make
my preferred Linux distribution even better.

Bug#705164: gmpc-plugins: Metadat Handler uses outdated API

[Edward J. Shornock]

Package: gmpc-plugins
Version: 11.8.16-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Use of this package with the DiscoGS Artit and Album Image Fetcher
enabled caused my IP address to be blocked by discogs.com.

 Your IP was auto-blocked due the continued use of an outdated app that
 is still trying to access our site via unsupported methods. The app in
 question appears as gmpc libsoup/2.38.1. I've unblocked your IP
 address, but please be aware that your IP could be auto-blocked again
 with the continued use of gmpc libsoup/2.38.1.

Until this Metadata Handler is switched to use supported methods,
this functionality should probably be disabled in the package to prevent
users from being automatically blocked from accessing discogs.com..
