Imgur's API has been having issues lately and album cover uploads have been unreliable for a lot of users. This replaces the Imgur backend with ImgBB which works the same way but actually works.

Changes

  • Removed ImgurClient/ folder and ImgurUploader.cs
  • Added ImgBBUploader.cs using plain HttpClient
  • Removed RestSharp dependency (no longer needed)
  • Renamed ImgurClientId setting to ImgBBApiKey
  • Updated ReadMe for Album art and removed Duplicate content.

Notes for users

Users will need a free API key from https://api.imgbb.com to use album cover uploads. It takes about a minute to set up.

Testing

Tested on MusicBee (v3.6.9403) running under Wine (v11.4) on Arch Linux (rolling) with Discord IPC bridge (v0.0.3.0.g86fcbdd-1) as a go between for Discord (v1:0.0.129-1).
