Hi,
Thanks for creating and maintaining this add-on, I've been using it for several years now and just recently run into this problem.
When running the add-on in a clean install of Kodi 17.6, it fails during the creation of the hashes. Going back through this topic, I added a line to default.py to show which artist it failed on.
Although I've switched on the 'replace illegal characters' option, it seems the script doesn't like the / character in an artist name whilst parsing and crashes when it reaches Gary Clail / On-U Sound System - all my music is tagged by MusicBrainz.
The log file shows this...
This issue doesn't seem to be on one platform, as it crashes on a Raspberry Pi 3 (LibreELEC), Odroid C2 (LibreELEC), Vero 4K (OSMC) and under Windows 7.
Regards,
AF
