I have tried debugging and I do not see how or when the function album_distance is called once the candidate has been identified.

Debugging shows possible MusicBrainz candidates but not the last one from Bandcamp.

Hoping you can help?

I'm also receiving the same error message, with a very similar looking stack trace. Disabling this plugin fixed the issue for me.

Also having this issue, but only when using beets master (which is currently the only useable version on Arch and other rolling distros as stable 1.4.9 is broken in them).

Disabling the plugin fixed this issue for me as well

Interesting. I'm using the master branch too – haven't tested with 1.4.9.
