Yes, bio updating (along with the similar artists list and album list) is a built-in thing. If you turn on the artist info, you get the updating free of charge.
Quote:Even though you can't intersperse that artist data with local, would it be possible to have ASH move the data to the output folder (my music library, in my case) so all that artist data doesn't build-up in the kodi portable folder? I have >1100 folders of artist data there and I'd rather not have my kodi backups include it. Essentially the same deal it does with images.
Technically it could be done, but it isn't something that really gets you anything (other than a different location for the files). If you really want to move the artist info out of the portable folder, you could do a path substitution in advancedsettings.xml to accomplish that.
