I've tagged all my albums using MusicBrainz Picard and scraped using the universal album scraper and prefer online information selected. Most has gone the way i wanted but as seen below the formed and years active are not showing
When i press i on a keyboard or the info button on my remote the screen below shows all the info. How do i get the info filled in on the pic above.
Also on a post on here by zorg2000k has his album screen like this below.
Mine shows this below, how do i get it like the pic above.

Hi, Here are a few screens that may help below,
The first three show a screenshot of my folder set up and also the artwork and nfo files I use for each artist and album.
Key to pulling through details into the artist and album views are the nfo files, I import the music via Kodi then export via music section in the settings area, this then generates the nfo files which makes it much easier if you need to re import your collection later down the line.
Not all the details pull through automatically unfortunately for some of the views in Aeon Nox so a bit of manual editing is required. Below are two complete nfo files so you get the idea.
Once I have manually edited the nfo files and saved them, I then refresh the artist and album via the "i" button and it will then update any changes you have made in those nfo files

<biography>JJ Cale (also J.J. Cale), born John Weldon Cale on December 5, 1938, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter and musician. Cale is one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz influences. Cale's personal style has often been described as "laid back".

His only U.S. hit single, Crazy Mama, peaked at #22 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972. During the 2006 documentary film To Tulsa and Back Cale recounts the story of being offered the opportunity to appear on Dick Clark's American Bandstand to promote the song, which would have moved the song higher on the charts. Cale declined when told he could not bring his band to the taping and would be required to lip-sync the words to the song.

His songs have been performed by a number of other musicians including "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton,"Cajun Moon" by Randy Crawford, "Magnolia" by Jai, "Bringing It Back" by Kansas, "Call Me the Breeze" and "I Got the Same Old Blues" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "I'd Like to Love You, Baby" by Tom Petty, "Travelin' Light" and "Ride Me High" by Widespread Panic, "Tijuana" by Harry Manx, "Sensitive Kind" by Carlos Santana, "Cajun Moon" by Herbie Mann with Cissy Houston, and "Same Old Blues" by Captain Beefheart.</biography>

<review>Just such a superb collection of songs and recordings. The third disc of "previously unobtainables" and various "versions of" is a series of real highlights for me - buy it for these alone! And then rock along to the other two great discs: as others have said, it is all just so well assembled and produced. Cale is such a special singer, musician and song writer, and this set is up there with the very best we have of the great man. He gave us 40 years of music. You can truly celebrate that great offering with this set of discs.</review>
