discogs: discogs_albumid is always 0

[jordanbs]

Most of my music is imported using the discogs plugin (beets v1.6.0, formerly imported via beets 1.4.9), but the every single discogs_albumid field is equal to 0. I do notice, however, the mb_albumid field contains what should be in discogs_albumid.

E.g.

         data_source: Discogs
     discogs_albumid: 0
    discogs_artistid: 1954908
     discogs_labelid: 1085864
    mb_albumartistid: 1954908
          mb_albumid: 10346192
   mb_releasegroupid: 1185315

Reproduce this by importing an album and using Discogs as the source. Re-importing will do.

Thanks! I expect that something changed in the Discogs API about reporting IDs, as I mentioned in #4224 (comment):

It is probably related to #4080. I think #4085 probably should have eliminated extract_release_id altogether and replaced it with the new extract_release_id_regex or similar.

To debug this, the first step would be to dump out the argument to extract_release_id and see what it consists of. If it's a URL, it probably works to just call extract_release_id_regex instead.

That works.

@jordanbs have you found the time to open a PR for this? Or can you describe the fix here. I'm also interested in getting this fixed. Thanks :-)

Unfortunately I'm not able to do that.

But you can!

On line 317 of beetsplug/discogs.py, replace extract_release_id with extract_release_id_regex.

Yes I can but you can too :-) For such a small fix you could even edit this directly on github without any git CLI knowledge necessary at all (if that was the reason holding you back)! Did you know that?

I'm sorry, I'm legally not allowed to contribute to open source :(
