New Beta Available
1.5.3.004 is available. With this release I have merged everything back into the master branch on github. That should trigger an update at Transifex so that the updated English strings can be translated. I'm rolling 1.5.3.004 into burn-in testing here. At this point I'm figuring a few weeks of extended testing plus waiting for updated translations. Hopefully by mid-July the official update to 1.5.4 will be out.
One thing to note about the streaming audio support. To find the musicbrainz ID I have to get an artist and all their release info from musicbrainz and then match that against the locally playing artist and album/song. With that combination I get back good results on a pretty regular basis. In the case of streaming support I only have artist and song to go on, and that leads to more times where no musicbrainz ID is returned. Just an FYI.
v.1.5.3.004
- fixed musicbrainz lookup so that it works with streaming audio as well
v.1.5.3.003
- fix for artists with ampersand in their name
- fix for last.fm showing unexpected results
v.1.5.3.002
- artist bio and album list now come from theaudiodb.com by default (Last.fm as fallback)
- added download of images from fanart.tv
- added download of images from theaudiodb.com
- fix so that artists with unicode characters in name return results from Last.fm
- changed over to urllib2 for web downloads
v.1.5.3.001
- added musicbrainz ID support
- rearranged settings some to make options clearer
- dropped support for htbackdrops.com (site gone)
