New Betas Available
1.5.1.011
- Fix for the issue where selecting 16:9 aspect ratio resulted in no images being downloaded from Last.fm
Available at: https://github.com/pkscout/script.artist...master.zip
1.5.3.002
- available in English only during beta (because of string changes, Transifex will have to provide new language files).
- Complete rewrite of the musicbrainz support. Now AS asks for a list of artists using the currently playing artist name. AS then iterates through that list and asks musicbrainz for all the related information on the artist. AS then looks for a matching song or album name (based on what is playing). If AS finds a match, it returns the musicbrainzID, caches that ID locally, and stops looking. Otherwise it moves on to the next artist. MusicBrainz support is not currently working for streaming audio where the title of the song contains the artist and the song title. That is coming later.
- AS now uses theaudiodb.com by default for artist bio and albums (similar artists still come from Last.fm). For this to work a valid musicbrainz ID must exist for the artist and AS has to be able to find it.
- AS now supports download of images from fanart.tv and theaudiodb.com (you need to enable those in the settings)
- more unicode fixes so that artists with unicode characters in their name have results returned from Last.fm
