I don't know, I am not a core developer. Best would be to ask in the feature requests forum.

Hi,
I ripped the Ben Howard: Empty Kingdom CD yesterday.
I updated my library, and the album is under the "unkwnown" artist!
I checked and tried to manualy updated informations.
The album is scrapped, with all titles, but there is no "artist" field.
Is it a scrapper bug, or maybe audiodb or another lacks information?
How can I debug it?
Thanks for the great work ^^

We need a dubog log to see what the issue is. Odds are high it is not the scraper.

What file types do you have? MP3? FLAC? Are you sure all involved files are tagged correctly? The artist name XBMC is reading out from the tags and not using the one scraped by the scraper.
Look at line number 773-775 in your log, there is no artist read out from the tags there.

It's a FLAC album.
I checked tags with latest mp3Tag version, and they are correct.
So the scrapper is not the guilty one but my tags, right?

This is a great scraper but one main issue I have is that it skips non-english text for example Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In MusicBrainz it is the top result when searching for Tchaikovsky, (there is another english entry but it has no detail or links at all). Would it be possible for the scraper to look against the Sort Name which is always in English and, as I'm assuming it cannot display the russian characters at least display the bracketed text e.g. [Russian romantic composer] from the name field so it can be correctly linked in xbmc? Rainbow (South Korean band) is another example where it won't show in the manual refresh list.
