    Does this have the power to overwrite null values? When you've used the MediaPortal built in info tool (Album/Artist info) and it has come up with a blank you can't erase, it would be very nice if this would just disregard it. I've downloaded it and will try it ASAP.

    No. It will currently only scrape where there is a definite match. The logic for albums is improved a bit so that should pick up better results. I will see about deletes

    hi , i for one did got error ... :)

    Their website appeared to be dead when you ran this. Can you try again? (I may need to slow the scraping speed a little)


    hi jameson_uk ,

    i run it again , still have error log same as bifore . i let it run abut 10 mints ...
    if i try Manualy work ...:) attach log....

    Is pretty odd as you are getting
    Code:
    The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
    which is a HTTP error at their end

    can you please attach mediaportal.log too

    Hello,

    I installed the plugin and did a fresh scan of my music and started MediaPortal to start the plugin and her are my results:

    - For 115 out of 176 albumartist the plugin could find information (65%)
    - For 161 out of 331 albums the plugin could find information (48%)

    I checked the logs and found some errors and the other not matched artist/albums looks like related to 'Unable to process' entries. (Probably multiple returns for an album/artist).

    Attached you will find the logs and the musicdatabase I used.

    Hi,

    No results for artists with "THE" in their name ie. The Beatles, The Doors etc. Note: these artists are listed as "Beatles, The" in my layout.

    For albums that return results the YEAR field always contains 0 (zero).
