Asunder

[Frances_mnb]

A quick follow up but first the background - the initial problem was not a problem with Asunder but a change by gnudb requiring registration of the IP of requesters for cddb lookups used by Asunder to provide track listings. Ssuch registration needed also to be linked to a valid email address. Versions of Asunder pre 3.0.1 could not include such email addresses in any request thus my older MX19 machine encountered a period in which all such requests were blocked.

I registered as requested, used MX23 on a spare machine, switched to test repro, down loaded Asunder 3.0.1 and tried using the gnudb's own suggestion as to the needed incantation under Asunder - it didn't work.

I thus contacted gnudb and also pointed out the somewhat unthought thru idea of registering IP address esp here in UK/IoM where domestic users hide behind a NAT router whose outward IP address is regularly changed by their ISP (fixed IP4 addresses generally cost significantly more if available)

I received a pleasant reply admitting there had been an error in gnudb's coding that was now fixed and that their Asunder code should now work - however my registration appeared also to unlock MX19's older version of Asunber as I guess my ISP hadn't yet switched my outward IP address and the required email address appears only be needed in cases where the requester uploads a new entry thus the old MX19 version would fetch data base entries.

I assume that in short term future it the MX19 will again fail as my Ip address is changed and reregistation will be required - whether it will be possible to run Asunder 3.0.1 on MX19 may have to be faced though I have enough spare machines to allocate one to MX23 once that includes the latest version.
