Using dharma RC1 I can't manage to get XBMC to pick up the local Artist.nfo file for artists that only have singles associated with them (and no albums). It just goes straight to the AllMusic scraper (which then fails to find the artist below incidentally). For artists which have albums associated with them, the artist.nfo file is read just fine. I prefer to use the local .nfo files for my media.
For example, I have the folder arranged as:
However, when I do a "Scan item to library", "Update library", or even a "Refresh" from the artist info window, it doesn't even look at the Artist.nfo file. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers for any help.
Here is the pastebin log for a Refresh from the Artist Info window for an artist with only singles - this seems to ignore the Artist.nfo file.
And just for comparison here is the pastebin log for a Refresh from the Artist Info window for an artist with albums - this picks up the Artist.nfo file no problem and its structure looks like this:
For example, I have the folder arranged as:
Code:
/.../.../Music/
