    Wow, changed the default scraper site to allmusic.com - and tataaaa it works!!!

    The "problem" that I just noticed (and honestly, this was expectable...:oops:) is, that this overwrites the previous scraped TADB-Data wiht AllMusic Data. Just the same thing that happens when you press Info/F9 inside Mediaportal and update Artist/Album Information...

    So IMHO at the moment the best way to get maximum & language specific Artist/Album Information is:
    1. Deactivate FanartHandler TADB scraping (edit FanartHandler.xml)
    2. Activate MusicInfoHandler (set AllMusic scraping) in Mediaportal configuration
    3. Start Mediaportal
    4. Run AllMusic Scrape with MusicInfoHandler
    5. Wait :coffee:;) till download complete (monitor MediaPortal.log)
    6. Close Mediaportal
    7. Activate FanartHandler TADB scraping (edit FanartHandler.xml)
    8. Deactivate MusicInfoHandler plugin in Mediaportal configuration -
      OR dectivate the <Autostart> Option - if you want to use Allmusic scraper for manual scraping later...
    9. Start Mediaportal
    10. Wait (more :coffee::coffee:;)) till download complete (monitor FanartHandler.log)
    Close MP and BACKUP MusicDatabase ;)

    If I remember correctly, during Full Scan, the PH checks the entire Artist list and if the information received from the AudiDB site differs from the information in the Database, it overwrites it. :whistle::coffee:

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...

    What's the best way to select a different backdrop? Sometimes the first selected backdrop is not great and I'd like to select another. Moving Pictures scales down the high res pictures and shrinks the filesize as well so I can't just go to fanart or themoviedb and get the images without doing some extra work to get the file right...
