    It seems that the key I used has been removed, my account too (can not log in). Create a new account asks for money. Therefore, and does not work. :whistle:
    @zag2me Can you help with key?

    IMHO language specific (Music)Artist/Album Information should be an essential feature in HTPC-Software. Even my Handy-App Music Player does this very well...
    I agree, but where do you get a source of information that doesn't want money. :coffee:

    Hi.
    is there a chance to get this working with Media-Buddy (write Informations into Musicdatabase)
    As the music database is an ordinary SQLite DB (at least it was last time I've used MP1 long, long ago) it sure would be possible. But I don't see much sense in adding this to Media-Buddy. It would be much, much better to add a general ".nfo scrapper" to the music plugin (similar to the .nfo support in MyVideos and MovingPictures) so one can use the same metadata as Kodi, MP2,... This can be a "stand alone" tool or an addon for the music plugin. But better not as a module inside Media-Buddy as Media-Buddy is no MP- Addon but a helpful tool for every HTPC user, no matter which system (s)he is using. Those .nfo are "standardized" widely and they can be generated with Media-Buddy and other tools right now. Something similar would help TVSeries too to overcome the upcoming paywall for TVDB...

    because Media-Buddy is able to scrape Artist/Album Information in different languages...
    Yes, it is able to do so. You can add your own API key to Media-Buddy or you can live with the limitations of the demo API key you can find on the TheAudioDB website...
    I think it could be possible to get a free not limited API key for the MediaPortal project, Especially if asked by some "Officials". Then MP should be transferred to mainly use TheAudioDB as music data source. Also TADB is not as filed as Musicbrainz it is rapidly growing and is easy to handle (opposite to Musicbrainz or Discogs). This easy handling is the main reason why Media-Buddy uses TADB as data source...

    To get information on an artist or album by its MBID, you need payment, and by name, not always accurately. :coffee:

    Yes, this is one of the limitations of the Demo API key. For me it mostly works with the Demo key. The very few Artist/Album that did not work I could fix inside Media-Buddy's "Metadata Correction" module easily...

    If the Media-Portal project talks to the folks on TABD it really could be possible to get a full API Key for MediaPortal. Then there are no longer any limitations. Maybe we could add a back link and/or TADB Logo to the Program and website as a "payment" for the API key... But this has to be done by the team (-leaders) with "official" mission and email, I think.
