NEW BETA
v.1.6.4.1
- fixed crash when using cache manager to trim size of image cache
https://github.com/pkscout/script.artist...master.zip
This should specifically fix the problem Ronny3 and rastiazul are having. If you aren't comfortable installing beta add ons, you can avoid this bug by turning off the option to restrict the size of the image download cache. See post #1053 a few posts up from here on how to do that.
I walked through the code. AS will only return the artist information in the language you select. If that language isn't available on either Last.FM or theaudiodb.com, then you will get a blank bio back.
The confusing thing is that an artist's bio can came from one of two places. Either you can get it from Artist Slideshow, or you can get it from whatever the XBMC scraper found. Often these two will be the same, but sometimes they won't be. It's impossible for a casual user to tell which source your skin is using for the artist bio. So if you have AS set for French bio downloads but are only seeing English, my best bet is that your skin is using the XBMC internal artist bio, and that bio was probably scraped in English. You're better off following up with the skin developer on that.

I think you're right pkscuot when you say that if the bio isn't available at lastfm or audiodb in French then it will default in English. Therefore, the addon has nothing to do with this. I believe It would be to us to fill these info at the scrapers site.
