Seems like you set both the primary and secondary(fallback) source for genres to theaudiodb.com, and since it is not available, it gets into an infinite loop.

I thought that too. However, when I change the fallback source to "None", it still happens.

hmm i tried to repro that a while back but failed on Gotham. Didn't try Frodo

(FYI I'm on 12.2)

OK update -

My post earlier where I said that the same thing happens when I change the fallback source to None was slightly incorrect. What I'd actually done was change any sources where TheAudioDB was being used as the fallback *as well as* the primary.

This affected nothing, however, as I was actually using allmusic.com as my primary genre source and theaudiodb.com as my fallback.

So really this infinite loop shouldn't occur. I've now disabled grabbing genre info from theaudiodb and have the fallback set to 'None', which is a pity...

Hopefully you can release a bugfix some time soon. If you need any extra information, let me know.

Also, two more things:

* Is this an open-source project? If so, where can developers contribute?
* http://www.htbackdrops.com/ doesn't exist any more and should probably be removed

Ah! Strange. My database had occurances of htbackdrops.com in it. Did they change domain name?

Indeed, in the universal artist scraper configuration:

Yes, the domain has changed (they intended to get back on .com as well). While you see the original domain in the settings, the scraper uses htbackdrops.org.

I made some adjustments to the underlying scraper library (potentially fixed a potential bug )
Should update automatically, but since it's a scraper library you will not see notification about the update.
Can you re-try with the troublesome settings in a couple of hours from the post and if it doesn't work, then post another debug log?

Hi, thanks for your work.

Tested it again there and it seems to work fine.

Thanks!

This might be a random question.

But is there any way/tips on how to get XBMC to scrape this album (and ones like it) as just under BB King, Not BB King & Eric Clapton, cause it just makes an extra artist which annoys me haha.

I have Musicbrainz Picard installed so if I need to edit the tags I can and will. I know its probably not "correct" what I am asking to do, but yeah

Thanks

There's no way to do that, as far as I know.. It would be "incorrect", so to speak, as even on musicbrainz it's tagged with the artist "B.B. King & Eric Clapton".

You could, of course, change the songs' ID3 tags to have the artist 'B. B. King', but that would be even more "incorrect".

We tend to treat MusicBrainz as the standard for any kind of naming so its not easy to do.

Funny, I just ripped that exact CD using XMBC two days ago. The tag info was filled in automatically with the freebase ID. I ran through MP3TAG to get the album art, which it found no problem. The artist and album artist display as "B.B. King & Eric Clapton"

I'll have to check and see if it scraped properly after I added it to the library. If you change artist and album artist to just BB King I am pretty certain it won't scrape with any scraper. You'll have to do manual editing for album info.

Thanks for all the responses, I know its not correct but its bugging the hell out of me, I would much prefer the album to just go under either BB King or Eric Clapton (which I have a bunch of their other albums also), instead of just making a one album artist haha.

I'm happy to take the manual editing route if this will work? I know how to edit the tags in Musicbrainz so I can do that, my question is will this force XBMC to library it under BB King? Or is there another step to get it in my music library under BB King? (like making a NFO file, I have never used these before but I see them talked about a bit)??

Thanks
