I think the plugin is causing Picard to crash. Is there a way I can PM you a link to a test file or two?
The crash happens after the release is loaded into Picard, and I guess when the plugin is looking for artwork. The files have previously been tagged with Picard. The releases load without error when the plugin is disabled. The crashes happen on 2.9.2 and 2.10, and I’m using version 1.2 of the plugin.
Please give the release that is crashing for you, then we can take a look.
Also in case we can’t reproduce the issue with the release a crash log can help us identify the cause of the crash. See the documentation at General Troubleshooting — MusicBrainz Picard v2.10 documentation for how to get the log in case if crashes.

Thanks a lot for the details. I’ll look into it and see that I can provide a fix for the plugin.
It started to cause Picard crash again, not sure if it’s just me.
Really great plugin and very helpful!
But I’m having issues with the plugin causing a crash. This is the release that is currently causing an issue: Release “Another Gem” by Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham - MusicBrainz
Picard v2.12, Deezer plugin v1.2.1

The crash happens when the artist name similarity is below the configured threshold. I have just merged a fix with deezerart 1.2.2. The plugin should show up as an update in a couple of hours.
Thanks very much for the update, that seems to have done the trick!
One other thing I noticed is that I get a very low similarity score for the following album and it only seems to match with similarity threshold set to around 10%. I’m not sure but maybe this is a Deezer API problem and not something you can fix.
The plugin seems to send a sensible search string to the Deezer API, but the API only returns one of the two artists in the album search results rather than both.

Where should I input the access token? I shouldn’t need one right?
I’m on Picard 2.11 (Flatpak on debian machine) and use plugin version 1.2.2
The issue has been fixed in Picard 2.12. The Flatpak is currently still at 2.11 because of some build issues with the metadata, but this should be resolved once we release 2.12.1
