Ive read this post from some time ago regarding no musicbrainz info
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=185274

Im am sure that I have the proper nfo file set and it is being read via the library, for I can edit any of these fields, refresh, and receive the updated information correctly.
All but the musicbrainzartistid that is.

Is this still an issue?
Curious how reading this tag would be any different from reading any other tag?

Here is my artist.nfo file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<artist>
    <name>Pantera</name>
    <musicbrainzartistid>541f16f5-ad7a-428e-af89-9fa1b16d3c9c</musicbrainzartistid>
    <genre>Thrash Metal</genre>
    <style>Metal</style>
    <mood>Confrontational</mood>
    <yearsactive>1980 - 2003</yearsactive>
    <born></born>
    <formed>Arlington, Texas, USA (1982)</formed>
</artist>

and here is the response:

Code:
{
    "artists": [
        {
            "artist": "Pantera",
            "artistid": 1,
            "born": "",
            "formed": "Arlington, Texas, USA (1982)",
            "genre": [
                "Thrash Metal"
            ],
            "label": "Pantera",
            "mood": [
                "Confrontational"
            ],
            "musicbrainzartistid": "",
            "style": [
                "Metal"
            ],
            "yearsactive": [
                "1980 - 2003"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "limits": {
        "end": 1,
        "start": 0,
        "total": 1
    }
}

Just saw this recent post

I suppose there is a problem that has/will be fixed

I really need to learn to read more carefully, this post mentioned musicbrainz album info was fixed in the latest isengard, which I was sure to install, but I've been pounding away on artist info which was specifically noted to still NOT work... Until v16... Not sure I'm ready for that just yet
