RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - cw-kid - 2013-11-18
The scraper doesn't seem to be finding this artist http://theaudiodb.com/artist/117023
When reloading this artist it comes up with "All One Surface" and "One 4 One" if I select manual and search for "All-4-One" it doesn't find them.
Thanks

Cannonball Adderley is still Aerosmith, even after refresh. Get thumb also shows aerosmith thumbs. Any clue in the logs above as to what is wrong (or I'm doing wrong)?

I had a quick look at your logs and it all looks good. The correct MBID is found a4c73ebe-b2c7-4f13-b99d-2fe1f9f27da8
Can you check there is no local nfo file overwriting the normal search?

Its probably because of the hyphens but a log will tell us.

Please see URL for log file. http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=86529
Any idea why artists I have previously added to TheAudioDB.com website have now been deleted or removed ? This guy being one example: http://theaudiodb.com/artist/125123 I have had to restore several artists.
Thanks

Thanks. The folders don't have any nfo files, only mp3 and jpg.

No idea sorry, we don't delete any artists usually.
Your user log will tell you the history and what a mod has done. It only shows the last 20 actions but I could probably look back in the db for you.
This works
http://search.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?fmt=xml&query=artist:%22All-4-One%22&limit=100
But you're log indicates its adding a forward slash like this and it finds a different artist as a result.
http://search.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?fmt=xml&query=artist:%22All-4/-One%22&limit=100
So its the forward slash that is causing the problems. Why the scraper is adding that I'm not sure?
RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - zag - 2013-11-18
For any artists that don't identify correctly you can always add an nfo file with the music brainz url in it.
Give that a try.

Hi Zag
I've been right though each Album Artist in my music collection today and for any that had missing genres or bio's I have corrected those Artists on TheAudioDB.com website. I would say about 7 or 8 artists I had previously added to TheAudioDB.com website had been deleted and I had to restore them. I don't know why this happens ?
Regarding that artist called All-4-One I added a All-4-One.nfo file in to their root folder and pasted in this URL: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/ef9df4c9-0e76-451b-b174-2244bcc31f0c however I was unsure how to then update this one artist? I tried reloading it again but it still comes up with the two incorrect artists I mentioned earlier, there doesn't appear to be an option to load data from local .nfo. So then I tried to update the entire Music Library database in XBMC but I am not sure its working any more and it didn't seem to ever finish.
Thanks
EDIT: I rebooted the HTPC and ran the Music Library update scan again and it completed, but the artist All-4-One still has no metadata.

I'm new to the Universal Artist/Album scrapers and they're working great for me.
I'm looking for a quick way to get a list of all of the artists and albums that were not found. I see in the debug log that missing artists seem to have a GetArtistSearchResults entry with no content and they're also missing the GetArtistDetails entry. Is there an easier way to get a list of the ones that weren't found? Is the source code available if I want to add a new log message for this?
RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - zag - 2013-12-02
Yes all sourcecode is on our XBMC github account
The quickest way is probably to just look if an artist has an image in the xbmc thumbnail view.
RE: [Release] Universal Scraper for Music Artists - rgstephens - 2013-12-04
I can't get the Artist scraper to create the extrafanart directory and download the fanart. I have the "Download additional information during updates" option enabled and I've been reviewing my xbmc.log file for errors.
Is there anything else I should be looking at?
Also, where do I find the source code for the artist scraper on my system - what file is it in (can't seem to find it)?

Q on using universal artist scraper in XBMC Gotham Alpha11:
I had a problem with multiple artists in my database. One specific instance was artist "Boyfriend", Album Artist "Boyfriend" and Album "Boyfriend". XBMC runs universal album scraper first using Album Artist + Album, and got the correct Album MBID and artist MBID. When that was done XBMC ran universal artist scraper using Artist, and the sorted list returned from Musicbrainz had a different artist (same name) as top entry (resulting wrong MBID), so a second entry in the music db artists table was created with the same string (Boyfriend) but each having a different MBID (one right, one wrong).
So I thought I could fix this by creating an artist.nfo with a link to musicbrainz with the correct MBID. I went to the artist info pages and selected "refresh". When I looked at my log it appears that XBMC (or maybe universal artist scraper, not sure) will immediately use the MBID from the database to query musicbrainz and ignore my artist.nfo. I then deleted the music database and did a "scan for new content" and this time universal artist scraper did find the artist.nfo (or XBMC supplied it?) and with that was able to get the right artist (same one as with the universal album scraper). I didn't try removing the files and doing an update/clean cycle and then restoring the files and updating again, but assume that should work as well.
My question then is ISTM that when I am on the artist info page and select "refresh", XBMC should look for a local artist.nfo always and optionally ask if local artist.nfo should be used instead of any MBID found in the database.

Hi i have a bunch albums and songs that are in Japanese.
like in the term of 600+ albums and this scraper with TheAudioDB/allmusic has failed to up even 50 of them
while this scraper with lastfm back in 2012 (before the API problem) failed to up date almost none.
I do not see my self going to TheAudioDB and manually imputing the info of 600+ albums and countless artists/songs
If you would be so kind to give me a alpha build with the xml lastfm core codes
ill be happy to use my own lastfm API.
