I just realized that in this file MBID is also available (maybe not for all). So grabbing art from FANART.TV would also work if TADB server is down. I would also suggest to "make" the file musicbrainz.nfo in any case, and to start accessing databases from this point. In some cases when no MBID or even wrong tag was found from your standard procedure - it would be easier for the user to edit manually this file.
Done. There's a new beta of AS in my beta repo (there's info on how to install that repo on the AS wiki page). The order of checking with this beta is Kodi, musicbrainz.nfo file, theaudiodb.com file, last.fm file.
Quote:Maybe you could even think about an additional functionality (AShelper) where a table of missing MBID is generated in which the user can add the missing "mbids" manually.
I'll have to ponder that. The best I could do is tell you which artists don't have MBID's in Kodi, but since you can get the MBID from theaudiodb and last.fm, that might be more artists than you actually need to fix.
Wow that was fast ! Checked and found getting again images from FANART.TV. Thanks a lot!
Regarding the "MBID-table" I realized that the things are probably different than I thought. Since I do almost only streaming those artist (for which i do not have my own music) are not in the Kodi database right? I wonder how the handling of the artist-code in the cache folder is done? Are those codes managed by AS or by Kodi?
