Thanks for reporting, but as for the rest, why you are not just using an nfo file with the direct link to the failing artist(s) as a workaround and you will be fine.

No question about that, hence I said thanks for reporting, but having an elegant XBMC experience doesn't require regular bumps in the thread :p

I'm having an issue where some albums have the same title on different discs (like on DVD-Audio albums where disc 1 might be the CD album and disc 2 is the album in high-res) and when scanned into the library, it only shows one instance of each song. I have used music brainz Picard for the tagging & it has the disc number info etc.
Is there a way to fix this or a setting I may have missed?

Artists that are not in the mp3 Artist and Album Artist tags keep being added to the library.
"Override song tags with online information" has been disabled.
Example:
The official artist name on Musicbrainz: "Mario Biondi and the High Five Quintet"
However the mp3 Artist tag is only "Mario Biondi".
Yet 2 separate artists are added to the library:
- Mario Biondi
- High Five Quintet
Did I forget something? Or is feature "Override song tags with online information" broken?

Did you run musicbrainz picard over it as above?

This question is about multiple album results.
*** Using v2.3.0 *** / XBMC 13.2 / Windows 7 x64 ***
Maybe I am wrong but I notice if there are multiple matches for a new album, the Universal Album Scraper picks no one.
Here is what I am trying:
1) I copy a new albums in the folder structure
2) Using Files/Context menu/Scan item to library on the top folder
3) Top right corner the scan progress displayed "Scanning albums using Universal Album Scraper"
4) Albums correctly appear in within the albums (note, at my files are properly tagged this can be done even without any scraper
Now my doubt:
5) in case I try to use the context menu on any newly scanned albums "Album Information" then instead of getting the info screen I got the list for the multiple results, and I had to pick manually.
Question: Is this intentional or missed I something?
I would like to the scraper pick automatically pick the result. (Yes I know that there are multiple releases, what can even differ in track list, still... Yesterday I scanned a folder with 91 albums, and had to manually right click each one, then wait 3-5 secs to get the scrape list, then pick one from the results more or less blindly, so this wa not less russian roulette than automatically picking the first one., just took almost an hour.
Thanks in advance
Btw: How to force rescan multiple albums, say a folder and all the things under?

Hi,
Just wondering if there's a way to flag songs as "explicit" when scraping. Spotify manages to flag them, so wondered if this could be an option to add?
If not, could this do done using the lyrics scraper and flagging based on "blacklisted" words?
Any thoughts welcome,
Martin
