Try delete all wrong pictures, start MP Configurator, FH config, run Cleanup Missing Fanart [C], after cleanup look for MBID, if any Artist have MBID 5dfdca28-9ddc-4853-933c-8bc97d87beec (Marlin Manson) try change to Artist MBID. Or may be cleanup DB - Delete All Fanart [X]
Check providers:

And try Start Scrapper with full scan ...

Or Delete all wrong pictures, Delete FH database, run MP Configurator, check Providers, close MP Configurator with save, and run MP ...

There's almost no MBID in a few thousand database records at all.
Also Marilyn Manson has no MBID:

Is there any chance to regenerate the MBID for all records?

When FH online search fanart, and search result return MBID, than FH put this MBID to DB... If no MBID than FH search by name...

As far as I remember, one record with a filled MBID is enough, you can select an artist in the settings and click the Change MBID button. It should be prescribed everywhere. If my memory does not fail ...

Is the MIDB generated by the online picture providers or by FH?

 

[ajs]

MBID - MusicBrainzID - Madonna - MusicBrainz
For Madonna - 79239441-bfd5-4981-a70c-55c3f15c1287
It turns out that this is a global identifier for music data. Artist, Album, Songs, etc.

Is there a chance to generate it automatically where missing?
There are hundreds of artists with a missing MBID in my FH database. This leads to the wrongly assigned pictures.

Only full scan, than FH try to find Actor and ask MisicBrainz, AllMusic and Last.fm site for MBID, if this sites give MBID than FH store it to DB and use for Fanart search ... In log look like:
