music: not all artists are scanned
#1
Question 
Hello

On my previous installation (rasp pi) and my new one (chromebox with openelec) I have some artists that simply do not get added to the library.
I go to my source, ask to scan all to the library and the next morning it's still not added.
I go to the files, choose one individual file, ask to scan it tot he library and it doesn't get added.

The files are regular mp3's, I can play them normally from the file view.
About 80% of all artists scan normally, but about 20% will not get added to the library, whatever I do.
For one cd I have even tried re-ripping it but that didn't help.

There is nothing special in the kodi.log
I really don't have any idea where to search what's wrong.

Under here is the logs when launching a scan of the folder and then launching a scan of the whole source.

This type of issue is almost always due to tagging. Have your verified your tagging?

When you say that "some artists that simply do not get added to the library" do you mean that the artist name is not showing up in artists lists? Or the artist is there but there is no scrape info for it?
