Hey, Kyle,
I'm a long time user of AS and it's brought me a great deal of enjoyment over the years!
I have a feature request: Is there any way that AS could request the Album Artist from Kodi as a backup if the Artist search doesn't return any results? The reason I ask is that I have some music where they differ and no artwork gets displayed, but would if the search was based on the Album Artist.
For instance, Esquivel returns images, but Esquivel and His Orchestra; Esquivel, His Piano & Group; and Esquivel, His Piano and His Orchestra do not. Similarly, Fats Waller works, but Fats Waller and His Buddies; Fats Waller and His Continental Rhythm; Fats Waller and His Rhythm; and Fats Waller, His Rhythm and His Orchestra do not.
Of course, it would make sense to have AS not actually run the search if the Album Artist is a duplicate of Artist or if it returns "Various Artists."
Thanks again for all of you effort over the years on AS!
