bug: jamendo not working / deprecated v2 API?

Open T-X opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

System Details OS: Debian Sid Arch: x86-64 Desktop Environment: Xmonad Version: v3.3.0 Installed by: Compiled from git, run locally without installation

Describe the bug When selecting "Internet->Jamendo->Download" this fails with the response "Failed to download" after a while.

Additional context It seems to me that the plugin uses the old Jamendo v2 API which has been deprecated for a while: https://developer.jamendo.com/v3.0/docs#introduction-old-api

A second problem would probably be that a client_id / API key likely needs to be used with the v3 API: https://developer.jamendo.com/v3.0/authentication

Yes, you are correct the old API is deprecated and no longer functioning. It's not a trivial effort to get it working. There are also issues with some of the podcast search functions. For the fedora build I have removed the broken interfaces and put in a pull request to remove them here until a solution can be determined. Keeping them in when broken is confusing IMHO. I would not consider it to be a bug since the old API was working fine. Upstream changed the rules.
