Hi @pkscout 

Is there a way to re-activate AS in Kodi after AS crashes?  I don't like MusicBrainz's tags for Artists which are composers and not performers.  So I usually manually change the tags, which sometimes leads to AS crash.  Now I have to reboot Kodi to get it running again. 
Also, can AS display Artist Bio info in Kodi?  I know bio info is downloaded.  Many thanks.

AS sets a variable in the skin to tell it that's it's running, and if AS crashes, that variable never gets unset.  I think the only way to reset it is to restart Kodi.  I've done some research before on how to run some code when a Python script crashes, but I either don't understand how that might work or it's just beyond me.  I may poke at that again.

AS, as you noted, does provide the bio, but it's up to the skin whether and how to display it.  If you're using the default Estuary, the answer is no, it does not display the bio.  If you use my Estuary mod, there is an option in the skin settings to enable the bio on the OSD screen when you're playing music.

BTW, if AS is crashing, I can't imagine why changing the MBID is a music file would cause that, and I'd like to take a look at that.  If it's consistently crashing with certain songs, then you could enable debug logging both in Kodi and AS and then get a debug log I could review.
