Description Christophe 2009-08-26 13:41:18 UTC 
hello,

When rhythmbox (v0.12.0) try to fetch covers I get this :

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 217150

  • File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/rb/Loader.py", line 43 in _contents_cb 
    (contents, length, etag) = file.load_contents_finish(result)
glib.GError: Not Found

The Amazon cover art search code no longer works due to changes in Amazon's web services policy.  We cannot fix it.

do you talk about "Amazon soap3 was discontinued on 31st of March 2008"?

No, I'm talking about this: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/ann.jspa?annID=483

We can't really implement request signing since we'd have to distribute the secret key to all users, so we can't use amazon's web services any more.

Can you just set up an account and distribute the same key to everyone in the plugin? Does that violate ToS?

Otherwise, album art fetching will have to be implemented from an alternative source, most likely Last.fm. Maybe take a look at what Songbird's doing: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Releases/Hendrix/Fetching_Album_Art
