I have a problem getting the correct information about one artist in music database. I uninstalled/deleted and installed XBMC 12.1 several times to check what may be the issue but couldn't find. Here's the prob:

I have artist.nfo, folder.jpg and fanart.jpg in every artist folder as well as folder.jpg and album.nfo in every album folder. With a clean install all these files should be read. In general this works, but i have issues with "Arjen Anthony Lucassen" and "Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One". After initial scan all info appears in XBMC except my fanart/poster/artist-info for the two artists, these come from universal artist scraper. "Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One" is the lesser problem, as the correct info pops up when i reload artist info via the artist info screen. With "Arjen Anthony Lucassen" it's a completely different thing. I tried every scraper XBMC offers, but there's only two results:

- art/info from universal artist scraper or freebase
- no info at all with all other scrapers

All filenames and artist references are correct (triple checked). The problem even consists if i remove "Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One" from path and database (tested with a clean install).

Here's a debug log right after a clean install

XBMC immediately starts CMusicInfoScraper although "E:\Musik\Arjen Anthony Lucassen\artist.nfo" exists ....

[dt2510]

after looking at MusicInfoScanner.cpp i had an idea:

my file structure is

artist
- album
- disc 1 (if multidisc set)
- disc 2 ...

so my albumfolder here is

"E:\Musik\Arjen Anthony Lucassen\(2012) Lost In The New Real [Limited Edition]\CD1"

thus XBMC is looking for artist.nfo in

"E:\Musik\Arjen Anthony Lucassen\(2012) Lost In The New Real [Limited Edition]"

placing it there, everything is fine. since it is the only artist with only one album (with multiple discs) there's no way XBMC can find the info.
