About two days ago, this plugin suddenly stopped finding data. I was in the process of ripping my CD collection, so I noticed a very sudden stop in the info detection. And these are groups/albums that I very easily can find manually on allmusic.com, e.g. Rush, Rainbow, Pere Ubu.
I looked in the code, and my guess is that allmusic.com changed their webpage so the scrobbling function doesn't find the data anymore. In that case, the problem is not in the plugin, but in the MP function called by the plugin. Am I correct?

    Yep just been to the website and it has completely changed so the scraping will not work (not in MP or this plugin)

    Looking for some input

    Attached is a test version which should basically work as before.
    It will need a slightly modified version of MP (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/update-allmusic-com-scraper.120812/) and it hopefully should provide better matches (but this means it will take longer to scan)

    This also will list artists / album artists / albums with missing thumbs (there is no functionality here yet only a list)
