Are you using the databases binary from
Automated Artist / Album Scraping
There is a bug in MP (http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=4258) that this fixes

Staged, Touch and Go found ...

Hi Jameson,

Working well. I noticed a problem with some album lookups when checking the database.

Pic attached showing that the DB contains the found album but for some artists the strArtist field contains the artist name and bits of html.

I noticed one of these myself...
Were these older ones or scraped with this plugin (and if so which databases.dll were you using?)

Also I can't quite see what the artists should be (I think these are collaborations?) can you give me a couple of examples of (perhaps the full value in that field?)

All scraped with v2.0 and the updated databases.dll from a few posts back.

The screenshot I posted is full res, open it in seperate tab should be clearer.

Here's one of them. It is a collaboration album.

strAlbum = vrioon
 
strArtist = Alva Noto</a> / <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ryuichi-sakamoto-mn0000587608">Ryuichi Sakamoto

V2.0.0.1 on MPEI now. Refreshing these albums should solve the issue

Just tried refreshing the album "Vrioon" in the GUI and it returned the mangled artist. Then I tried deleting the record direct from the DB and then tried to find the missing album in the GUI but same issue.

I can try the automated and see if that picks it up, it just takes a long while to complete.

what is the album artist tag for tracks on this album?

Edit: and you physically deleted the record in the database?
Edit2: and by finding in the GUI you mean via the musicinfohandler GUI not the music plugin GUI?

strAlbumArtist = "Alva Noto"
strArtist = "Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto"
strAlbum = "Vrioon"

Yes physically deleted the albuminfo record from the DB and then tried to get the album info via the GUI.
