artistpic and albumart don't show image properly anymore

[david-simons]

Getting a downloadable .jpeg instead of an embedded image back, on the albumart and artistpic commands (at least)

Discord desktop client for Windows:
Stable 126213 (75b3f22) Host 1.0.9004 Windows 10 64-Bit (10.0.19044)

Bot does have permissions: Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Use Application Commands

After a quick glance it seems like the discord API changed something so that messages need to actually specify that they want to embed an image I think. https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#using-the-embed-constructor

@dantco mentioned wanting to take a look at this so I may leave it to them

Thanks - curious if no one else complained?

You're the first, as far as we know! I went ahead and did some local tests, produced the same behavior you're seeing. I think this could be an issue with the Discogs API implementation. When opening the file attachments the bot returns, I'm getting an empty jpeg. Could be the wrong data is being returned, and it's trying to parse as an image. Might be why they're not embedding properly-- nothing to embed! I'll need to dive in to some docs over the weekend, evaluate how all of the APIs are interacting. Cheers!

also - are you embedding the image URL to the discogs site, or embedding a (resized) copy of the JPG/PNG?
