[READ FIRST POST ON WHAT TO DO!] API usage error with DEVID (due to backend update)

[rossosl]

[edit - DrO - 4th Jan]
any further issues with devid's can be sent via the feedback or contact details found on http://www.shoutcast.com/partner_request_form

[edit - DrO - 21st Dec]
any further devid's experiencing the issue will have to wait until some point in the first week of January before they can be checked / updated as applicable.

as such please do not send me pm's / emails with devid's or about the issue as there is nothing i can do about the issue as i am following what i have been instructed to do regarding this matter.


[original post]
Is there an issue with the yp directory with urls like:
http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch ...
As of a few hours ago, no stations are being returned.

Thanks.

[DrO]

the api isn't the same as the yp (to clarify that).

there was an update of the api pushed out a few hours ago though i'm not sure quite what it's meant to have done though to my knowledge it shouldn't have caused things to stop (trying to find out though as it's late friday now i'm not expecting to find out much).

also can i confirm that you have a proper devid as part of the partner programme?

[rossosl]

I've been using my dev id since June 15, 2010 without any problems but I just looked at the raw xml and the error message does have to do with the dev id.

Error is: DEV ID TIER MISMATCH

I've never seen any reference to Tier before. Is that something recent that I missed?

Thanks.

[DrO]

the error relates to what was pushed out (but not knowing the full details myself, my replies are going to be a bit vague) though i really had thought it wasn't meant to affect anything with existing dev id's.

can you pm me your dev id (the sooner the better especially as it's gone 11pm my time and i need some sleep soon) and will get one of the other people on the team doing the update to check / fix what is causing the issue.

-daz

[rossosl]

ok, trying to send PM.

[Sourcetunes]

I can confirm, I am getting the same XML response "DEV ID TIER MISMATCH". Can also confirm another music player I know uses a Shoutcast Dev ID is also down, so I don't think this is a isolated event.

[DrO]

Sourcetunes: pm me the dev id and will get it passed on to be 'fixed' as we've done for rossosl, though please be quick, otherwise it's likely not to be done until monday morning EST as i'm about to stop for the weekend especially now it's saturday my time so won't be able to pass them on - though i believe one of the guys on the team is going to look through the system logs to find any which are having issues.

-daz

[Sourcetunes]

Sent, Thanks!!

[DrO]

have passed it on so should be 'fixed' soon. and with that i'm now out for the weekend.

[Sourcetunes]

Working now thanks!!!!

hallo DrO,

I've got the same error

code:
<response>

<statusCode>450</statusCode>

<statusText>DEV ID TIER MISMATCH</statusText>

<statusDetailText>DEV ID TIER MISMATCH</statusDetailText>

</response>

also AOL Developer Network login is down (Page No Longer Available

We're sorry, the page you are looking for is no longer available.
)
http://dev.aol.com/_cqr/login?sitedo...ti8dwAAA%3D%3D

I got the same problem:

Currently, i'm doing software development for a software named DVBViewer. I did much work on a plugin for this software which is able of accessing SHOUTcast internet radio. I tried to match the branding requirements as good as i can: don't mix SHOUTcast with other party brands, have a Shoutcast logo and/or the text "SHOUTcast(tm) Radio" in OSD Skin whereever i let the user interact with SHOUTcast and so on. The plugin will be integrated to the software sooner or later, but right now it's a plugin (addon).

For this purpose, i got a developer key from AOL which was working until yesterday. I used it only for developing, the key is only locally stored on my notebook and my HTPC in the living room, i did not put it statical in the plugin for now. Everything is preliminary for now until one of the next major releases of the DVBViewer software.

I've built the user interface like this:

Main screen:
Top 500 Stations
Listing of main genres

If you select a main genre, you'll get the next screen with
Listing of secondary genres
Listing of stations that match the selected main genre.

If you select a secondary genre, you'll get a screen where all the stations are listed, that match this secondary genre.

I've put a SHOUTcast logo on every screen.
I made a check, if the current selected OSD screen has a SHOUTcast logo.


I like to continue developing, i got it working pretty good so far. Can you help me?

[Mister_Magotchi]

I am also having the same issue, and I'm am going to PM you my dev. ID, DrO. Hopefully that's not a problem.

[stopasking]

i have same issue about that. i am trying to design a good thing using shoutcast radio directory but i can't access the api for a couple days. i have to do some experiment before production and i can't even open the documentation page (http://dev.aol.com) or can't login to my account right now. what's wrong? i hope this is about an update. happy weekends.

[DrO]

i'm only seeing pm's from 2 of the 4 new people having issues with their dev id's. i will forward on the details of those dev id's but it won't be until some point monday morning EST that they should hopefully be updated.

for the other two, without being sent anything (as mentioned in my prior posts and everyone else has managed to do), there's nothing i can do.

also i've no idea about dev.aol.com access not working as it's not something i've any dealings with and all current developer documentation is provided at http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcast_Developer (if that is missing things from dev.aol.com then i would need to be told what and where so i can to move it across).

[rollercoaster]

Come on, I can't believe that SC is doing an update and now we all have to send in our DevIDs.

[DrO]

i've forwarded on all of the devid's i've received up to rollercoaster's one.

all i know is the backend changes shouldn't have caused the issue which is being seen by the small number of dev id's it has happened to and does not affect _all_ dev ids (as implied by the above comment) - just a small number.

all i can do is apologise for any inconvenience which has been caused.

-daz

[roberthirschmann]

same problem here from Germany on two different devIDs. Since Friday, 16th Dec at about 17h CET we only receive an XML Error page with status 450 - DEV ID TIER MISMATCH. Even the dev.aol.com page reports "Page no longer available" when trying to "Login".
Should I send you our devIDs as PM or will the problem be solved for all?

Thanks
Robert

[DrO]

at the moment i would say pm them and i'll then forward them on (as it's not something i've the means to resolve as i'm just the man in the middle).

what is it people are trying to get at via the dev.aol.com site? as i'm not aware of anything important on there (unless i'm just not aware of it).

-daz

[Sourcetunes]

Thanks for working on this for us DrO. You are much appreciated. I'm just glad SC offers us such a great service for free.

For those adversely affected you may consider caching your API request so you at least have something to fall back on if a similar event occurs in the future.

[mad_ady]

Probably nobody needs a "me too" post, but I am affected as well. Will try to PM you my id, thanks

there you can register for fresh dev ids.

[DrO]

as an update, i've just found out the person i'm forwarding the dev ids onto is on holiday (didn't know that until just now), so will try to find someone else who's able to help sort things out tomorrow.

-daz

[_emanuel_]

Thank's DrO (man in the middle),

helping us.

I've just tested, but no changes - devid is still not working

[DrO]

that's because none of the ones i've passed on have been actioned (due to the reason mentioned in my prior post).

so only those from rossosl and Sourcetunes in this thread have been actioned (and another one i received on friday night).

-daz

[nahusa]

I've PM'd you my key as well and appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

[nirgeier]

Thank you very much for your help

[DrO]

all dev id's i've received have been re-forwarded on to someone else so will see what happens. otherwise i have no idea when they'll be able to be resolved due to people being away on holiday now *joy*

-daz

[Soernt]

Applying an update and then go for holiday was never ever a good idea.

[DrO]

all of the dev ids i've received should be (or will shortly be) working now - that's what i've just heard back.

Soernt: probably not but that's just how it's managed to occur and as the update was never have meant to have been an issue, it's just unfortunate for the small number so far affected. though as it seems people have (at least) in the past been creating their own dev ids, it's not too much of a surprise they weren't caught before the backend changes went live.

-daz

[Soernt]

Thanks for the update and your help daz! My key is working again :-)

[_emanuel_]

Dear DrO,

a big thank you from all the users of dreamnetcast (working again)

happy X-mas

[DrO]

final update on this for the year...

any further devid's experiencing the issue will have to wait until some point in the first week of January before they can be checked / updated as applicable.

as such please do not send me pm's / emails with devid's or about the issue as there is nothing i can do about the issue as i am following what i have been instructed to do regarding this matter.

-daz

[stopasking]

everything works fine now.

happy xmas

[emveepee]

DrO thanks a lot for your help getting my DevID going again, seems I got in just in the "St. Nick" of time

Seasons Greetings.

[DelightChae]

Please let me know that how can I use my dev id same it as...

<response>
<statusCode>450</statusCode>
<statusText>DEV ID TIER MISMATCH</statusText>
<statusDetailText>DEV ID TIER MISMATCH</statusDetailText>
</response>

[linearblade]

Who should we message about this when people come back from the holidays?

do we message you still? is there a different contact we should send it to?

[DrO]

i cannot answer either of those questions as i am following what i've been told to do until those with the means to check / update the devid's are back. i guess just posting in here will do so any can be followed up when it is being done.

-daz

[DelightChae]
