I also encountered this with some certain album. It goes as follow, I play a song normally everything's fine, but when I play this particullar track/album the whole DiscordBee presence on Discord status appeared to be lag out, stuck in the last song I played and still counting elapse time, but if I change to the song that work it suddenlly started working again like nothing happen

EDIT: Just got a lead, those track in question does have 1 thing in common, both are in grossly long japanese name/Mutiple artist and contain a Katakana writing in them. Such as, 東京スプリングセッション, アノーイング！さんさんウィーク.

It might not be very helpful, cuz there are other song which have katakana in them but work.

Are you guys sure this doesn't happen on every new cover? Because I had the same issue when I was using the default imgur API key.
Go to Tools -> DiscordBee -> Uploader Health and check if it says True or False. If it says False then that's the issue, you should make an API key for yourself.

I've also noticed that the album covers aren't showing up any longer. Initially all the albums that I've listened to frequently would still show up, and albums that I have never listened to would just display the MusicBee logo -- but slowly but surely even the albums which were showing up previously stopped showing their covers on Discord as well. Whenever I check the Uploader Health status it says it's working so I'm not entirely sure what the issue is. Everything was smooth sailing for me until recently. I haven't changed any settings one bit so I'm starting to think this is Imgur related perhaps?

I had the same issue for the last few days. In my case it was caused by DiscordBee changing the imgur album id for some reason but keeping the cache from the previous album. Nothing was uploaded to both the new and the old album. Deleting the cache file resolved the issue for me (close MusicBee first).

how do you exactly do that?

how do you delete cache?

[LordFoogThe4rd]

i've also got my own imgur client id and it still doesn't work

[Svarr]

how do you delete cache?

It's the file at %appdata%\MusicBee\DiscordBee\DiscordBee-Imgur.cache.

[Fivda]

welp deleted my cache and now i guess my old covers are gone now and nothing gets uplodaded at all lol, and it says imgur is healthy so idk

Checking which album covers are uploaded to the current imgur album could probably help identify the problem.

To do that, open the %appdata%\MusicBee\DiscordBee\DiscordBee-Imgur.album file and then visit imgur.com/a/<Id> (replacing <Id> with the value from the file).

can't find any such file in there, there's just DiscordBee-Imgur.cache and DiscordBee.settings

See the README on how to create your own imgur API key. Though it was mentioned here only as a fix for when the uploader health isn't true.

If the file doesn't get created, maybe there is something logged to the %appdata%\MusicBee\ErrorLog.dat?

Hmm maybe this is also caused by hitting the rate limit, because album creation is a POST request which could be rate limited. But needs testing basically renaming the .album and see if recreation works. Then rename back after closing MusicBee. But it should work anyway when using a custom imgur API key.

I experienced the same issue. Some album artwork wouldn't display even though the uploader check was displaying "true". Deleting the cache resolved the issue for me.
