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

[horned_reaper]

The found MBID is not of an album, it is of the artist.

Which search query is used for the album MBID resolution? Thought it would be like this, which returns the correct album MBID:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"Frank Sinatra" AND release:"My Way: The Best Of Frank Sinatra"

The MBID is searched for in three sites as soon as they are found, recorded in the database, and are no longer searched. For the MusicBrainz site, a new option is used as in your example.

The found MBID is not of an album, it is of the artist.

If this were so, then the Fanart site would not have found more than one picture for this MBID.

Ah, I see.
Wouldn't it make sense to search the MBID on MusicBrainz first, which is the most precise search and also the source system?

 

[ajs]

Perhaps now, yes, before, he made the most mistakes. Therefore, his priority was lowered to the very bottom.

Can I give it a try and do an extensive test, please?

 

[horned_reaper]

Who can test it better than I?

 

[horned_reaper]

The reason for the mistakes surely was the missing album title field name in the search query.

Full text searches are always imprecise.

It’s difficult to test, there were a lot of failures on Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese artists. I'll think about it, maybe I'll do it, but only tonight.

Really appreciated, thank you!

If you have records from the past failures you have my full support on testing.

What do you think about the idea to make an FH setting for the MBID provider search order?
