[Python-apps-team] Bug#685102: picard: sends bad requests to server

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: picard
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal

Lately, picard has trouble downloading album data. After dragging some music files (generated and tagged by sound-juicer) to the window on the right, picard instead of displaying the album title displays "unable to load [MBID]"

Below is an error message from the console:

E: 140379710048000 21:22:54 Network request error for http://musicbrainz.org:80/ws/2/release/e3f2c3d7-d289-4796-8b4e-407692dea96f; e3f2c3d7-d289-4796-8b4e-407692dea96f?inc=release-groups+media+recordings+puids+artist-credits+artists+aliases+labels+isrcs+artist-rels+release-rels+url-rels+recording-rels+work-rels: Error downloading http://musicbrainz.org:80/ws/2/release/e3f2c3d7-d289-4796-8b4e-407692dea96f;%20e3f2c3d7-d289-4796-8b4e-407692dea96f?inc=release-groups+media+recordings+puids+artist-credits+artists+aliases+labels+isrcs+artist-rels+release-rels+url-rels+recording-rels+work-rels - server replied: Bad Request (QT code 299, HTTP code 400)

When I look up the album directly on the musicbrainz website instead and click the "tagger" icon, picard retrieves the album data just fine.

This doesn't happen with every music file, but with many if not most of them.
