Authentication Failure

Issue #42 closed
Former user created an issue

Hi,

I think Discogs might have changed the way OAuth worked...

**This is what I'm getting when hitting 'Authorization':

(FATAL) Error: Authorization Failed (401) Is OAuth working?

[ESCAPE to close]**

and this comes up when I'm browsing the above URL:

**Hello there!

This URL is an OAuth endpoint, but the request you made doesn't appear to conform to the OAuth 1.0a protocol.

Please consult these resources:

- Discogs OAuth docs: http://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:authentication
- the OAuth specification: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849
- the documentation for your OAuth library

for information on how to use this endpoint.

  • Discogs**

Thank you

    No they haven't changed it. Browsing to that URL directly is expected to give that message.

    I see...

    Discogs tagging served me great for many years until a month ago. Thank you for that great component.

    I'm on latest version of foobar and foo_discogs. Any idea why am I getting "(FATAL) Error: Authorization Failed (401) Is OAuth working?" ?

    What OS are you on? Have you reinstalled your OS around the time this problem happened (or since last authenticating OAuth)? Is the system date and time configured correctly?

    Win 10 pro...

    It was the time setup, last win update did something to the local time, it was one hour off. All good now.

    Thanks a lot
