Tagger fails on every search instance

[erikkristiaan]

Started occurring after beatport did a small UI change. Screenshots attached.

I imagine it might have something to do with beautifulsoup running into problems finding webpage elements with the UI changes but I haven't looked at the code in depth so I can't say for sure.

Love the app by the way.

Yes, it happened 2 days ago also, but it was reverted overnight. We are waiting whether the change will be permanent or they will revert again.

Great, thanks for the update!

It looks like release-desc is the default maybe try off it. In any case, this is a problem on the beatport website

Maybe it will be useful for you

The tagger doesn't use the sorting. It only has query when searching.

Hello I am having the same problem. I am using on windows 8.1. Every search has failed.

[atarbig]

hmm, on beatport search works https://www.beatport.com/search/tracks?q=crazibiza+roller+disco https://www.beatport.com/search?q=crazibiza+roller+disco Waiting for it to work in the tagger

On latest source please run using python, don't try to package it - it is really broken.

pip install -r requirements.txt python beatporttagger.py

[atarbig]

python beatporttagger.py works but still nothing found; i test with last code https://github.com/Marekkon5/beatporttagger/archive/1.1.7.zip

@atarbig

Beatport is still doing some changes, the search is really unstable and broken even on the website.

Also 1.1.7 isn't the latest, download main source code: https://github.com/Marekkon5/beatporttagger/archive/main.zip

[atarbig]

this code work, and thank you for info, will wait news

Just to confirm, I reached out to Beatport: they could tell me they are implementing the new API. Seems sort function is broken, which I made them aware of: https://youtu.be/Ppp1c3B3E7Q

Note that in above video (that was yesterday) it did find the track example: https://www.beatport.com/search?q=alex+morelli+crimson+idol When I search that right now, it's not showing up.

Also, the other example can only be found as release, but not showing up under track results: https://www.beatport.com/search?q=crazibiza+roller+disco

Since Beatport Tagger is searching for track matches, not release matches, it cant find it, so that makes sense.

TL;DR: Beatport seems to be busy updating their API and broke sort function on their site. Also search results are inconsistent at the moment. Not really something we can do about, until they fixed their sh*t.

Last year, the beatport was already broken and there was a problem with the search for almost a month. They even closed the site for a few days. After that they promised to make a backup of the site and in case of an accident it can be restored But it seems they saved money. I also noticed that the search for new tracks in the store does not work immediately. For example, on traxsource in about 8 hours. On the Beatport too. I think this is how they update the track database. The fastest update on junodownload - they have servers in the UK and releases appear earlier, and the search for new tracks is about 6 hours earlier than US stores. There will be time to make a junodownload tagger, then it will be a complete kit. If one store is down, you can use another one. Right now we have traxsource only. Will be wait Beatport.

I've posted a new release, which should improve the matching, however it's still bad because of the Beatport issues, not the tagger.
