At first I would like to apologise me for my bad English.

I have installed the following Music Collection components/modules/plugins on Joomla V1.5.14:
- Component: MusCol, Version 2.0.0, Date 14 February 2010
- Module: Random and Featured Albums (charts) --> mod_muscol_featured_albums_2.0.0.zip
- Plugin: Muscol - JW Player --> plg_jwplayer_2.0.0.zip

I created an Discogs-Account and generated an API key. I filled up my API key in the field "Discogs API key" on the backend parameters and saved the parameters.

If i start now a search, the following messages indicated:
- Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Unable to access discogs62.xml in /xx/xx/xx/xx/WebSite/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 240
- Warning: fopen(discogs62.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xx/xx/xx/xx/WebSite/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 240
- Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "discogs62.xml" in /xx/xx/xx/xx/WebSite/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 73
- Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /xx/xx/xx/xx/WebSite/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 91

Can somebody help me? Many thanks for every tip.

    this means that your server is not accepting gzipped data...

    curiously, some users reported this problem and afterwards it started working ok

    can you check that in your server, the mod_deflate apache module is enabled? thanks

    Discogs sometimes works and sometimes it just won't work. In some cases it will give an error like weird chars or if the album is not listed on Discogs. Server settings and Joomla configuration might be the problem too.

    discogs is, and will always be, in BETA.

    this is because it depends on an external service (discogs api access), and we cannot garantee that it always works fine, etc. we cannot know what it returns where there are no results and thinks like this...

    it sure can be improved, but probably will never be perfect! ;)
