I have the same problem and it has not been resolved...

http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/forum/version-2/discogs-gzinflate.html

you need the "mod_deflate" APACHE module ACTIVE to use the discogs API

(why?: discogs api returns GZIP data. so, your server must accept this kind of data. to accept this kind of data, apache's mod_deflate module must be enabled)

I am having the same problem. It's never worked but I just ignored it and entered everything manually.

I checked my server and the mod_deflate of gzip is enabled.
I double checked with my hosting company as well.

Any ideas?

I'm going to assume no one has a clue why discogs doesn't work

sorry

but.. you get the "gzinflate()" warning? if thats the case, your system, for one reason or another, does not handle gzipped data

I readed somewhere that there are other modules, besides of mod_defalte, than handle gzipped data..

try this: http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/
to check if your site accepts gzip content...

Looks like it's not working...here is the actual results
http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/?url=ahr0cdovl3jvdw5kcm9ja3jhzglvlmnvbq==

Anything else I can do as an alternative to gZip?

look at what it says:

"mod_gzip, mod_deflate, or gzip compression through any server-side language, like PHP."

maybe you can try mod_gzip?

Ok....How do I try it? Is there something I need to change in JMS?

That is a cool website.

Just an obvious FYI, that website will not show that the site is gzipped, unless one goes into their admin panel, under Global Configuration, Server tab, and sets "GZIP Page Compression" to YES. Though this is different than your discogs issue. This basically uses the compression throughout all of joomla to speed up the page loads. However it would verify if gzip is working properly.

mod_gzip is an APACHE module, not a joomla module

@Round Rock Radio its your hosting provider who has to solve this... I mean... they told you that your site admits gzipi data, but as you could see, it does not!

So I sent my host to the website Germi provided to prove to them gzip wasnt working....This was their response...

Hi,

gzip is available on the server, but it's not enabled automatically.
If you want to enable mod_deflate (successor of mod_gzip) you can
review the configuration here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html

Thanks,

So I went to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html as they said I should do....I might as well have been reading japanese. I emailed them back and asked them to please enable it for me since they are the hosting company that I pay every month.
I'll see what happens and what their response is.
They are usually pretty good about helping out with these sort of things.
Thanks Germi, you rock

Well they enabled it http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/?url=ahr0cdovl3jvdw5kcm9ja3jhzglvlmnvbq==

However I still get the same error message...
Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /home/roundroc/public_html/ondemand/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 77

Any clues on what to try next?

Does anyone have a clue what to try next?

I contacted my hosting company via email with the error message above. Their response was:

You'll need to contact the author with regards to the scripting
error.
I can only suspect that, the gzinflate is not compatible with
mod_deflate

Germi, Can you give some direction as to what to try next?
If you have no clue what to try next please just say that so I can forget trying to get it working.
