Hope this helps you track down the problem.

I just installed EAC V0.9 beta 4 - I don't have a firewall and I have never run Music Match on this machine. Also this is the first version of EAC installed.

I am experiencing the problem where pressing ALT-G does to get the data base info results in a "Server Error". That is unless I delete the track information as described in the quoted message. I hope this helps track down the problem.

I tried a few different servers, and most gave the same results - garbled status message after a long delay. However, http://es.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi worked, and still seems to be working a couple of discs later.

I don't know why the other servers are giving me trouble, since they seem to be working fine for other people. Strange

28-08-2002

I've also been having freedb problems, though they only seem to have started recently. Haven't changed any computer settings, and no firewall on musicmatch.

Like the last poster, I've had good luck using the server at es.freedb.org, but all the others fail.

Iterestingly, if I use Audiograbber (yuck!), the freedb queries work fine every time!

02-09-2002

unless every single server is down right now, there is a problem with the program.

"Service Unavailable"

i'm not using any firewall. i'm connected directly to the internet.

please fix this.

Until this is resolved what I'm doing is using Feurio to download from freedb & then exporting to windows cd player database which EAC can read.

I also get HTTP 1.0 503 Service Unavailable,
I tried EAC prebeta11 same deal,
If it's any help, I use dial up conection, win2000pro

05-09-2002

if would be nice if they configued it to use the cddbp protocol instead of HTTP. http is simply awful the way they've implemented it (not EAC, freedb/cddb).

anyone know how to get EAC to use cddbp instead of http?????

Been having the same problems as everyone else here. No firewall installed. I just switched to es.freedb.org and now everything's working.

EAC Lover · 12-09-2002

I'm not sure how you could pin (all) the blame on freedb. I still occasionally -- when
freedb's db sucks -- use cddb. And I find I must go through the exact same steps (to
add the site blocked by ZA3pro as a 'trusted' zone) for it to work every time for me.

26-09-2002

It seems if I press shift-del [ok] alt-g enough times it finally works as suggested above.

acceptable workaround for now.

27-09-2002

On all 3 of the Win2000 machines in my office, EAC won't connect to FreeDB, but they will if I use FreeRIP MP3. On the Win89 machine EAC connects just fine.

I have found that once the data is obtained using FreeRIP then it will show up in EAC, but EAC still hasn't connnected to FreeDB.

This leads me to think it is a EAC issue not a firewall prob.

hwilkins · 29-09-2002

FWIW, the listed ZoneAlarmPro fix does work for ZoneAlarm, although it is not as easy to implement.

In the Security tab, select Advanced, then Add ... Host/Site; enter the IP of your chosen FreeDB server and hit OK.

Before adding this, I either had to disable ZA per Andre's suggestion, or turn overall ZA security down to medium (someone else suggested this).

Down side is that, if I want to change CDDB servers, I'll have to change that zone...

I would tend to wonder why EAC has this issue when it is just opening a port-80 request to the site (even the ZA alert says so).

Andre: are there any particular flags you're using with the open call for this?

cu, Andre

It doesn't work for me.
It has to do with the http connection Feurio works fine with CDDB protocal set, can I do this with EAC?.

Andre Wiethoff · 09-10-2002

I took it out, because HTML is now the standard query... CDDB is now only for compatibility reasons in the freedb....

For connect I just do this :

sin_port:=htons(80);
sin_family:=AF_INET;
sin_addr.S_addr:=inet_addr(srv);
IF sin_addr.S_addr=INADDR_NONE THEN
hse:=gethostbyname(srv);
IF (hse^.h_addr_list#NIL) AND (hse^.h_addr_list^[0]#NIL) THEN
pul:=hse^.h_addr_list^[0];
sin_addr.S_addr:=pul^;
END;
END;
connect(osocket,CAST(SOCKADDR,adrserv),SIZE(adrserv));

(Sorry, formatting will get lost)

cu, Andre
