Problem with musicbrainz.emby.tv ?

[MigoLuna 1]

Hi!

I'm reorganizing my music files and adding them to Emby. I'm checking the tags of the MP3 files and adding cover art and basic information.

This way, when I add them to Emby, I have the cover art, and Emby itself takes care of collecting the artists' metadata.

However, sometimes I find that the artist can't be located and appears without information, even though they exist in MusicBrainz.

When I check the log, I find this:

Today, for example, I'm in this situation. I've added several artists, and it's not adding their information.

It seems as if the musicbrainz.emby.tv address isn't responding... and this isn't the first time this has happened.

Is there any solution, other than waiting for the address to respond?

HI, apologies for the disruption. We are rebooting our musicbrainz server. It should be back up shortly.

All rigth now, Luke

Thanks

Hello,

I’m experiencing the same issue again. It has been happening since the day before yesterday, if I’m not mistaken.

It would be useful if this error did not occur periodically. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or knows a way to prevent it?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Having server response issues with MusicBrainz again.

Honestly, it’s kinda annoying…

The response time is insane! Even if its "up".
This results in a timeout because configuration is set to 20 seconds at max.
