'MusicBrainz not reachable in get release by ID' errors

[j-peeters]

I had to uninstall and reinstall Beets. After that, don't know if it is related, I get all sorts of MusicBrainz not reachable in get release by ID errors. Does anyone know what could cause these errors?
In my browser Musicbrainz is reachable from that computer.

Thanks, Jan

Verbose mode might be a good place to start to get a little more detail on the error.

🤦‍♂️ Yup, I always forget the -v option Sorry!
This gives more info, but I have no idea what it really tells. Ideas are welcome.

[sampsyo]

I unfortunately don't have any great ideas based on that, except that it's certainly a networking thing and may (or may not) be related to SSL...

[j-peeters]

Thanks for your insight. I'll check for SSL problems.

[j-peeters]

Reporting back. A niche case, but you never know if someone runs into the same problem.

I recently installed LibreSSL's cert.pem over macOS 10.13.6's default one because it became invalid after 30 september. I did this because Transmission wouldn't connect to HTTPS trackers anymore. Removing that recently installed one and installing the cert.pem from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html solved my problems with Beets and Transmission.

Thanks for suggesting that it might be SSL related @sampsyo.

[nikkithayer]

I just ran into this error, adding how I solved it in case others encounter something similar! I'm running Sonoma, and had a fresh version of Python (3.11) installed. Within Applications > Python, there's a command line script for "install certificates.command" That gave me the certs I needed to get musicbrainz working.
