I also had the misfortune of my internet cutting out in the middle of a find artist. I tried the cancel button it was seductively offering me, and of course Kodi just hung.  Stuck somewhere in the Python? Somewhere in the scraper process? I don't know, but it would be nice to solve that kind of thing too

 Yes, the scraper is likely waiting for a response from one if the metadata sites, i can add some code to make it time-out a bit faster.
(by default, the time for a connection to time out is defined by the OS)
