Amahi Forums

Has anyone been able to successfully pull metadata from the internet into jinzora? I haven't had any luck making this work on Amahi. Not sure if it is a linux issue or jinzora config issue? This is the only part of jinzora that I cannot get working on Amahi. I dont' believe it's a problem with the one-click install because i have performed a manual install of 2.7.5. and still have the same problem. Jinzora 2.8 had too many bugs in it for me so i downgraded it. I had been using Jinzora 2.7.5 on Windows with xampp with no problems, everything working. Doesn't matter what service i pick for metadata, it always comes back with nothing.
If i put the jpg and txt file containing the data i want in the album folder, it reads that info fine. I also noticed when i performed the install that importing the files was really quick, it should take at least a few minutes to pull info for 20+ gbs of music. I've tried retagging the mp3 files and resetting permissions/ownerships. i installed the custom Metadata Retrieval service (that comes installed with 2.8).

Unfortunately, the jinzora forums have been down for quite some time now
I am not well versed on linux, i'm a windows person so i'm not really sure what else to try.
if anyone else has any ides or pointers please let me know.
thanks.

Ok, found my own answer to why the Metadata Retrieval doesn't work anymore.
Apparently, the custom add-on, in jinzora 2.8 it's called Webmosher, relies on Amazon to pull it's data from. According to the author of the add-on, Amazon changed their API a while back and that is why it doesn't work anymore.

The author hasn't had any time to go back and fix/re-write this add-on and apparently no one at Jinzora has taken over the add-on to fix it.

I'm not a programmer so i doubt i can fix it, Jinzora forums are still down so i don't have much hope there either.
