This is actually due to a scraper bug. Will get this fixed.

Re: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - olympia - 2012-07-24

Done. Should be OK above v2.1.3.

Confirmed fixed. Thanks again for your hard work. I also noticed one odd thing as I was skimming the music library. I noticed a number of artists with incorrect pictures, and then further noticed they were the exact pictures that were used for the correct artist. Is it possible that when we hit MB too fast and start erroring that we're not flushing a buffer correctly and assigning an incorrect image as a result? I'm only guessing, but it seemed to occur with a number or artists that I had to refresh manually after scraping.

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - olympia - 2012-07-26

I will not be able to help in this and I am 100% sure this is not a problem with the scraper itself. This would need to be analysed and reported with details in a ticket on Trac.

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - deh2k7 - 2012-07-30

OK, will log a ticket in trac for this one. Was not sure where the division of work is between XBMC proper and the scrapers. Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for this great addon!

I have a question. Is it currently possible to scrape "translated" artists names?

As an example, the Japanese band "Spitz".

http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0550993e-ddec-468e-b05f-da81bf6f7694
http://www.last.fm/music/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%94%E3%83%83%E3%83%84

lastfm and Musicbrainz both it under its Japanese name but both seem to have some way to determine that the English translation/alias is "Spitz". However I can only scrape it properly if I tag my files with the Japanese name.

Is it at all possible to somehow scrape the correct Japanese entry but retain the English translated name in my library? Or is this a limitation of the last.fm API?

Quick question, will this scrapper scrape additional fanart...It grabs music art from my favorite site htbackdrops and fanart.tv, but im curious if it will make an extrafanart folder and download additional ones, or should i do this manually if i want...

Hi,

Using 2.1.5 with xbmc nightly and not getting results. Did the format change? From the log:

20:45:09 T:139839705970432 DEBUG: FindArtist: Searching for 'Fun.' using Universal Artist Scraper scraper (file: '/home/alex/.xbmc/addons/metadata.artists.universal', content: 'artists', version: '2.1.5')

That search:

http://search.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?fmt=xml&query=artist:Fun.&limit=100

returns an <metadata> / <artist-list> structure, while regex is looking for <results>. Am I missing something simple here, or did format recently change?

Thanks!

Up.. Just to make sure this gets noticed.

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - olympia - 2012-09-25

Works for me

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - User 34959 - 2012-09-25

I didn't notice anything wrong with it either before i nuked the music db and started from scratch. It read the artist tags alright and the artist table is populated with the correct artists.. I'm using MySQL by the way.

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - olympia - 2012-09-25

I was trying to scrape Alice in Chains on a Vanilla Eden with success.

RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - User 34959 - 2012-09-25

After deleting the whole user data it seems to be scraping.. I don't know what the hell happened, i already deleted the scraper and the scraper data from user data and downloaded and set it up again, but it was not enough.
