This is the initial release .
First of all, I want to give thanks to all on the Kodi team for developing, maintaining and improving Kodi, and making it available as open source. Thank you!
This scraper is a work-in-progress.
Currently it scrapes and adds <artist>, <album>, <studio> (taken from Label), <title>, <runtime>, <year>, <thumb>, <plot>, <track>, <genre>. (plot= artist info, which is replaced by song info if found.)
The scrapers works ONLY with file names in the following format:
artist name - song name - album name
(note: names must be separated by space/hyphen/space ( - )
It is up to you to get correct spelling!!!!!!
Special characters are not allowed in the names. !&%$#@+/|? for example. Remove them from your file name.
Names similar to: Beyoncé need to be changed to Beyonce
A hyphen(-) is allowed in a name as long as it is not preceded or followed by a space.
This scraper runs somewhat slowly, partly by design. 50 videos took 13 minutes.
There are many regex in attempt to capture the many different xml possibilities. There will be more needed. Give me the artist name - song name - album name of the video that can not be added to the library, I will look at it and add if needed.
Get the scraper here: scraper
Both metadata.common.musicvideos.mp4 and metadata.musicvideos.yamvs are needed.
metadata.common.musicvideos.mp4 must be installed first.
Let me know what your results are.
I tested ~1500 videos and had all but 11 scrape fully. The 11 are not in the database and are not able to be scraped. (I had to revise the name in many of them to achieve this. You would be surprised on how many videos have special characters in the name.)
Album art is based on release-group and ~ 95% returns. If you are missing artwork... add it to fanartv or musicbrainz.
When doing a refresh/reload you will see the following as a choice:
song title-year-country-type-packaging (if in database) followed by a bunch of numbers used by the scraper. Choose accordingly.
Approximately 10% videos are scraped and added to the library with no info other than artwork. You need to refresh/reload the video and select an other than 'single' as the type. Most singles are designated differently. Choose the 'album' type if possible. This can not be controlled by the scraper.
