In kodi 17 , the scraper will looks for artists in music library > artists . But it will not look into music library > music videos > artists .
Is the scraper not update yet to kodi 17?

any one read what i wrote , the scraper work but will not scrape artists located in music > music video > artists .

the scraper work only for artists located in music > artists . so is this related to bug on kodi 17 , or related to the scraper it self ?

Neither. The scraper doesn't "look" anywhere. The scraper is "called" by the music scanning process. So, it only is called when the music scanner finds new artists in a music source that is being scanned.

There is a separate process that does video scanning. In this case when the video source is set to content type of "musicvideos" by default Kodi only uses local .nfo files found during the scanning of new musicvideo media files.

The only way around this is to use mp4 as the container for music video files, and add .mp4 as a music file extension in your advancedsettings.xml file. Then add all the required metadata tags to the musicvideo mp4 files, same as you would for example m4a files. Then add the folder tree containing music video files as a music source and scan. However, please note that while this pretty much will work, treating music video files as a music source is completely unsupported so you will have to live with whatever quirks you find.
