FreeDB cant connect - Page 5 - Digital-Inn

13-12-2002

What if the error message window had a little "details" button where the cause of the error was reported? That could help us sort firewall error from freeedb error and so on.

It could say "Not in DNS" or "CGI timeout" or "HTTP 500 internal error" or whatever. Could help us track down the problem.

Sorry wenn ich in deutsch schreibe .... aber immerhin ist Digital-Inn deutsch, und Englisch liegt mir nicht so ...

Zu den Problemen mit der Abfrage der db:
Mehrere Firewalls sind auch nach abschalten noch aktiv.
Bei einigen muss man sie dekativieren und neustarten, bei anderen wiederrum das komplette Verzeichnis loeschen (war irgendwas mit B, die seehr hartnaeckig war).

XP hatte imho eine integrierte Firewall-Loesung (Ich habs mir bisher kaum angesehen, und kann daher wenig zu sagen

Und zu meinem Anliegen ...
freedb kann man sich auf den eigenen Rechner laden, was mir sehr entgegen kommt, da nur einer meiner Rechner Zugriff aufs Inet haben soll.
Naja nur habe ich jetzt das Problem, das ich die freedb nicht bei ea importieren kann (Es werden nur mehrere Verzeichnisse lokal abgelegt, in denen sich einzelne Textdateien befinden ....).

Gibt es eine Moeglichkeit die lokale DB einzubinden?
Denke mal, das die Moeglichkeit auch fuer die Interessant waere, die Probleme mit der Abfrage eines Servers haben.

P.S.: Danke Andre fuer Deine Arbeit

*huestel*

Sorry ... ich haette mir vorher alles ansehen sollen ...
Hatte nur unter Database gesucht, fuendig wurde ich unter EAC/Database Options

P.S.: Naja dann halt der Tip an alle mit Probs: Runterladen, lokal verwenden

I've just downloaded EAC and was getting the HTTP 500 error message with every CD. Tried all suggested remedies, no change.

What worked for me was entering my ISP's proxy server settings in the Freedb options tab. I don't need to use the proxy server for anything else but it looks like I do with EAC.

Works every time now.

New servers seemed to fix my problem. Try updating yours.

It's just bad that I'm experiencing this issue only with EAC. CDex will retrieve every CDs from CDDB/Freedb 100% of the time... With EAC, I have to hit the ALT-G several times, and after 10-15 tries it will communicate with the server... I tried several time with different server...

Too bad..;( Let's hope it will get better!

The FreeDB connection used to work for me... if I killed ZoneAlarm. Now, even after shutting down ZoneAlarm, it doesn't work. Veyr frustrating. All I get is server errors, regardless of which server I choose. I've updated the server list several times, no change.

Replace freedb with cddb in the freedb / Database Options and everything works fine (for me):

http://cddb.cddb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi

Don't forget to insert a valid email address too...

Hmm, too bad. I thought I found the ultimate solution...

Switch off the automatic connect, and when you connect manually, choose the batch file option. It will rapidly make a bunch of attempts and usually one will succeed.

Well I am now experiencing the same problem with the freedb. I was working yesterday. I upgraded to media player 9 (windows) on a windows 2000 machine and now my lookup doesn't work. Any clues. No firewall problems and all other programs that use database lookups work (ie creator, media player) Has the windows media format been corupted or some other incidious microsoft feature been implemented?
