Music scraping rate limit

Emby server scraping for music needs to be looked at. Every 6-8 albums throws an error in Emby logs. If you review the logs the report of the error is:

 

The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

 

If you put the request Emby was trying to make into your browser you receive the following:

 

{"error": "Your requests are exceeding the allowable rate limit. Please see http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XMLWebService for more information."}

 

When this happens the album that throws the error gets skipped and no information is scrapped for that album.

 

Musicbrainz has detailed rate limits posted in the Wiki that can easily be seen.

Hi, yes and we are already following them, but sometimes we get trapped by the global rate limits.
