New user here. I'm having trouble with this script. I'm trying to get my music collection properly organized. A big problem I had was the way Kodi sorted my music, so I'm actually going back and re-tagging everything. I then came across this script and would love to use it to get all the extra bits like artist backgrounds, etc. However, I'm having some trouble with the program.
Starting fresh, I've gone back and removed my network share's location from Kodi's Library. I then moved all my music to a temporary folder. Then I tagged 1 artist completely, and moved it to it's new permanent location. I then re-added the path into Kodi, and it added the albums to the library. I then loaded up the cdART Manager program and told it to update the database (because it presently showed 300 or so albums with 150 or so Artists from when I tried this earlier). Once it started, it went through and scraped all the info from the tags I had set in MusicBrainz. Then it appeared to lock up. I've had it sitting for over 2 hours and nothing new has happened. I'm not sure what to do next. I've tried to click the back button on my remote, and the escape key on my keyboard, but nothing works. I'm using the Aeon MQ6 skin, and the activity of the script shows in the top of the screen. Right now, all it shows is an empty bar (where it would show the % progress) and a title that says cdART Manager. Since I'm doing this one Artist at a time, the databases only have 5 cd's in them, so what's taking so long?
EDIT - Nevermind... I scrolled up and read a few of the last posts. Looks like my problem is because of the API too. Is there an alternative way to get the extra fancy bits?
