I'm currently updating my Music Artist Information Dialog on Estuary and was looking for additional info to include. As interesting as when an artist was born or formed, I was rather hoping to include things more specific about their career and achievements, such as:-
Artist Rating
Total #1 Singles (By country if poss)
Awards (Number of Grammy's, platinum and gold discs)
Total Albums Released (Not just what you have in your Kodi Library)
Total Number of Global Record Sales
I thought this would be quite relevant and interesting information to include on this screen, so was quite surprised that no info labels seem to exist for this data. Is this because the information is not actually collected from the music sites Kodi scrapes it's data from? Or is it because the information just does not exist or is maybe too varied and changeable?
I was also hoping to add a couple of new buttons at the bottom of the screen to allow a user to move forward/backwards to the next/previous artist via this screen and same when viewing a particularly album. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a Kodi ID available for next/previous Artist or next/previous Album, so not sure if this is actually possible.
Maybe somebody has a good idea how I could implement this feature?
