I am going to music > artist > CONTEXT > Information, then choosing REFRESH. It does as it does. My question is this, there are many issues with music when a group may or may not have the word "THE" in the title llike or some use the word "AND" and some use the "&" instead, like the one shown below, The word THE is actually part of some groups names, like The Alley Cats, others are not, like Eagles, it is actually not The Eagles.
What I am finding when using the REFRESH is this:
1. If you are given more than one choice and pick the wrong one, about the only way I have found to correct it is to remove the album, clean the music library, then scan it back in again.
2. Due to how the scrapers work, and since there are more than one scraper that can be used, you never know if your should use the "&" or the word "and" as some do not find special characters, but yet the group name used the ampersand.
Would it be possible to add something to the Searching Artist dialog box to give the user a choice to type in the name?
I don't know if this makes any sense to me, let a lone you??
Kodi provides that box and there is a way to manually add videos like that so if not an option for music then need to request the feature but alternatively you can use something like MusicBrainz picard to set the artist MBID's, then scraping should add it.

Yep, thanks! I figured that out soon after testing things and I reworked Global Search window. It is on da McGitter McGittly now!
Please let me know of anything funky like spacing issues or pretty much anything you think looks weird.
There is some missing info in the plot area cause I haven't figured out how to pull it yet. Maybe some of it isn't actually available though
Since that link you posted mentions Directors does Estuary show the icon? All I get is the DefaultDirector.png...
I guess should check Estuary to see what is there, just being lazy...
Side not, not sure if you still have skin.info.service uninstalled but I changed almost all of the script provided set related items to using the skin engine instead. Only things I did not change is runtime, no way to do math stuff in skin. Also director/genre cause they would have been nightmare trying to come up with the conditions to not repeat any.
I can add the first movies director and genre if you think that would work though
Also added a toggle to prefer the set overview so if you do want the extra script stuff you can install and keep that info if you wanted.
