[solved] Improved MBID Search for Artist and Album (1 Viewer)

[horned_reaper]

The backslash is in the temp path now and the new album thumbnail resolution setting seems to be working. Thank you!

Sorry to bother you once more but I'd like to understand what goes wrong. One example where the wrong album thumbnail is downloaded.

Track tags:
Artist: Frank Sinatra
Album Artist: Frank Sinatra
Album: My Way: The Best Of Frank Sinatra

Actually MusicBrainz would return the correct result:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"Frank Sinatra" AND release:"My Way: The Best Of Frank Sinatra"
MBID: 34d2108b-d622-3fb3-8209-858429524f71

But FH downloads the thumbnail of the album "Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely", MBID bf7c7461-fc4d-35f8-a4d6-673473ce3fe6.

Do you know why?

[horned_reaper]

197450cd-0124-4164-b723-3c22dd16494d is the MBID of the artist not of the album.
Why is not the MBID of the album resolved, by this query:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"Frank Sinatra" AND release:"My Way: The Best Of Frank Sinatra"

 

[ajs]

197450cd-0124-4164-b723-3c22dd16494d is the MBID of the artist not of the album.

Maybe, but:

[horned_reaper]

Which criteria is used for the album thumb search? Why a thumb of a completely different album is downloaded? Is there a false entry on Fanart.TV?
There's also a second wrong album thumb result in the log file:

https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/music/197450cd-0124-4164-b723-3c22dd16494d/cdart/songs-for-swingin-lovers-50177e7591524.png

I'd like to understand the problem cause.

 

[ajs]

Which criteria is used for the album thumb search?

For FanartTV - MBID
For other sites MBID or Artist - Album pair ...

 

[horned_reaper]

Does it mean that on Fanart.TV album thumbs are always searched by the artist MBID only, not by the album MBID?

 

[ajs]

Does it mean that on Fanart.TV album thumbs are always searched by the artist MBID only, not by the album MBID?

Artist Fanart, ClearArt, Thumbs, etc search by Artist MBID
Album Thumbs, DiscArt, etc search by Album MBID
