These parameters are registered in FanartHandler.xml. But periodically, for some reason, a re-recording of the biography of some artists (about 30%) takes place with a description of one musical group. I use MusicInfoHandler returns biographies back , plus some artists have information in Russian.

Wrong MBID?

a re-recording of the biography of some artists

Try setup:

<entry name="FullScanInfo">no</entry>

plus some artists have information in Russian.

<entry name="InfoLanguage">RU</entry>

I have it spelled out : <entry name="FullScanInfo">no</entry>

Strange, but if there is a desire, we can try to figure out why this is so ...

I can disable MusicInfoHandler and see which artists’s biographies are being rewritten and specify the MBID

@123vak123 I look to code, all Info gets from AudioDB site (API) if MBID present then FH use MBID, if not, FH use Artist name, and replace only empty values, except Artist BIO, if Artist BIO in DB empty or not equal AudioDB bio, then BIO replaced ...

I have a question: can Media Portal without the Fanart Handler plugin receive biographies of artists? When I make a forced receipt of information about an artist, the information received is different from that which is collected automatically.

can Media Portal without the Fanart Handler plugin receive biographies of artists?

Yes but in Manual mode ... Select Artist, press F9 and select Artist Info ... In dialog press Update button ...
