Latest test release available -> https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/scri....2.7.8.zip
I know it doesn't look like much, there was a big change on how the script handles access to Fanart.tv.
When you first run the script, it will make a backup of your database, then change the database to the new format. At this time it will retrieve all the matching artist's artwork files and add this info into the database(if the artist has artwork on fanart.tv.) This will take a short time depending on how large your artist lists are.
Once this is done, the script will only check to see if there is new music artwork every time you start the script. This should speed up the script and lessen the requests on fanart.tv
The user now also has the option to use a different MusicBrainz server. This is untested and may not work properly right away. When selecting the new server, you will also be able to change the delay between data requests. The available delays are from 0 to 900ms in 100ms steps. The 900ms delay is what is needed to keep musicbrainz.org happy.
Please test and post full debug logs if problems arise.
