Automated Artist / Album Scraping (2 Viewers)

[Shangostar]

Spot on, works as expected again now, thanks.

Is this plugin or anything based on it going to be included in MP 1.3?
Obviously the current MP inbuilt scraper is broken too now.
It was previous good for getting some blank entries where your plugin would fail if it found multiple artist entries.

This version works great, no video jutter.

I tried the plugin and got MP to work on 100% CPU for all 4 cores . Had to disable it.
Logs would be great. I don't mind keeping MP on for the night as long as I know it's downloading stuff and not just hang.

Will check tonight I posted an update the other day which may have caused this copy usage.

New version posted which should resolve this.

I have a plan on how to stop this going forward which is the basis for the rework to improve this for 1.4

Does anyone want to try the attached.
Some of the code from this plugin was moved to core MP so I have updated it to use the MP code.

More importantly though I have added a GUI plugin that will let you browse which artists, album artists and albums are not scraped and allow you scrape them manually.

I did notice one issue with & characters in artist names which I will fix at a later date.

I'm getting a "missing file .xml when I look in plugins, do I have to load that somewhere? I'm testing with 1.3 RC and default wide skin

The only supported skin so far is Titan. If you are using another one you have to wait till your skin supports the new GUI.

Thanks, that is working now and I will let it run
