Is there anything we can do about this?
I'm afraid that some users will think they have the wrong MBID when getting the error message at first try, and won't add the album and upload their fanart

Wrong ID. You need the release group ID, not the release ID. Add album to the database, section 4.NeXrom wrote:Can't add an album from the artist poets of the fall: Jelous Gods

Few weeks back, before MusicBrainz upgraded their db server, I was getting timeouts even when browsing around on their site. I haven't been on much since then, but assuming it was also timing out via the API it would be nice to see a different error message if at all possible. Particularly, when the release ID is correct.Kode wrote:Not sure, it's difficult to debug without a selection of mbids that aren't already in our database, I think we must be getting throttled or something.
An example would be handy for troubleshooting.Szynszyl97 wrote:I have to refresh this thread. Recently adding any album to the database is practically impossible (for me, at least). I can spend 5 minutes repeating "CTRL+V + ENTER" but still nothing happens. All I see is "Not a valid release group id or musicbrainz is limiting requests". It gets quite annoying, TBH.
And yes, I'm using proper release group ID.
