Discogs wrong ID?

[quickmic 1703]

Seems Discogs addon sometimes uses wrong ids.

Artist "Alphaville" should have ID "https://api.discogs.com/artists/59776" but Emby tries "https://api.discogs.com/artists/194"

HI, this isn't really the problem. It's more a question of where did it come from.

[quickmic 1703]

Well the Discogs ID was generated at some point (not externally).

Musicbrainz Ids are generated externally (Piccard).

I have 2 Alphaville artists in my music library.

The first (correct) one has:

Discogs ID: 59776

Musicbrainz: 31aa6f87-8d00-4ae9-a5cc-6d7eeea109d2

AudioDB: 113964

 

The other has:

Discogs ID: 194

Musicbrainz: 89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377

AudioDB: 113641

According to Musicbrainz and AudioDB hat's a Various Artists ID

Kind a strange, cause both Artists have "Alphaville" as Title and Sort Title. I try to fix that manually.

You might filter the Discogs ID: 194 (Various artists)?, as there are a lot in my library and the scraper tries to pull metadata over and over again. Also Discogs is very picky multiple requests. -> too many requests.

OK I would just blank out those discogs ids.

Will have to look but believe we have brought this up before as 194 is just a placeholder on discogs.  So this is a issue of their own creation.

Various Artists - MusicBrainz

I guess if this discogid can be ignore would be best as MBZ will just repopulate it.
