Fifth go at getting music library working in xbmc, I have my music tagged and in folders by artist.
Several albums imported ok, getting most info from allmusic and have had to add the allmusic link on the musicbrainz site. Not sure if that is going to be workable for several hundred titles, but putting that to one side. I have been unable to get the scraper to recognise the following title:
Artist: Fripp & Eno
Release Group: Beyond Even (1992-2006)
http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/6d2...ce2c4798df
My music is tagged Brian Eno - Beyond Even (1992 - 2006)
Scraper does not match, but always prompts me for Album titile and Artist.
Whatever I seem to enter, it will not match, even entering the identical text shown on musicbrainz web site, which works for other title.
Not sure why scraper can't find it, when I manually search on musicbrainz for release group "beyond even brian eno" or any of the other combinations I have tried, the correct title always appears 100% match as first item.
So, I create an album.nfo with the musicbrainz release link:
http://musicbrainz.org/release/b17ac8dd-...7a8579b513
Taking longer this time, looks like its found it, but the scraper has just crashed xbmc and have to unplug machine.
Sorry for the mini-rant, just frustrating. I would like to know why the scraper can't find this album, and why using the album.nfo method has crashed xbmc.
I have been toying with writing my own scraper outside xbmc to build the artist.nfo and album.nfo, and thought I would have one last try with xbmc with this universal scraper. My main problems with xmbc is poor matching on artist and albums, something needs to be done to improve it, I can't justify all the fiddling about to get the scraper to find the correct data,
Thanks,
Paul
