Shows how much I scroll through the Main Menu settings...haha. That controls the cast in widgets. The bottom right will switch between cast images or text depending on the selection.
Ah...I see what you mean. I'll see what I can do with the Artist fanart.
Do you have a "<formed></formed>" field in your artist NFO?
For your discography, do you have the format set as this?
xml:
<album>
<title></title>
<year></year>
<musicbrainzreleasegroupid></musicbrainzreleasegroupid>
</album>
The "LastFM Albums" button is to display the missing discography. There should be additional LastFM buttons as well, but there is a problem with the Extendedinfo script for Matrix. I get an error every time I open the Music Info screen.

That's right, now I remember, it was a selector with the option to change to "Text" but I never changed it and I don't use widgets except for weather.
Yes, my artist nfo contians the "formed" and "disbanded" tags as well as the "born", died" and "yearsavtive" tags. With a band/group the "Training" field displays the the contents of the "formed" tag, the "disanded" tag contents are not displayed. With individual artist the "Born/Died" field only displays the "born" tag contents but the "died" tag contents are not displayed. In either case the "Years active" field is displayed correctly as per the "yearsactive" tag. So it look like "disbanded" and "died" tags are not being read as well as the "Training" field being mislabeled.
For the discography

Do you mean in the artist.nfo? If you do then the answer is kinda, most don't but some of the artist.nfo files contain a list of albums with the year formated as above but no "musicbrainzreleasegroupid" tag. I added the "musicbrainzreleasegroupid" tag to an artist.nfo that did already have the albums listed but it made no difference. As far as I know Kodi does not import that information from the artist.nfo. I believe it is a legacy from v16 or v17 days. The reason only a few of my artist.nfo contain them is most likely that they are old ones for which I used Kodi to scrape then exported info to generate the .nfo before I found an external program to make music nfo files. Kodi may still export that info but it doesn't import it, at least that's how I read it when I looked into the artist nfo file structure in the wiki. Besides, even the artists with no discography in the nfo display a discography in the Leia version of MQ7MM. However if you are talking about the album.nfo then the answer is yes, all that info is present.
I too get extendedinfo errors when I try to use the ExtendedInfo script which is a shame because it used to be much better than EmbryInfo or TheMovieDbHelper or whatever the replacement is. I wish someone would have taken over maintenance of that script. I think it was changes at audiodb or lastFM shortly after Matrix release that screwed up the music side of it.
