Requests to audnex API returning 504 error (in command 'beet import <path>')

[trustosas]

This issue has been talked about here. Basically my attempts to tag books with audnex API are not working. Anyone else facing this challenge?

More details on the command and result:

!beet import "/content/Animal Farm"

I don't know what's happening with the chapter searching on Audnexus, but it's always returning a 504 error. The API documentation seems to match the call being made, but I can't see why it doesn't respond blank if no chapters are detected.

I've also disabled chapter matching in my config file, and it Beets doesn't seem to be respecting that setting.

Regardless, your issue appears to be an uncaught error due to the API not responding when being asked for chapter information.

The ASIN of your book is correct though, and so I'm unsure as to why there is no match at all.

The HTTPError needs to be caught and handled properly. Chapters are arguably non-essential, so I think it should warn and show a match for the release.

Closing this to clean up old issues. Let me know if this is still relevant.
