If no MBiD, FH search by Artist Album name...

This is the problem, if there is no Id, then the search is not exact, but to find the Id, we are also not exactly looking.

MBID for Artist Agenda found, MBID for Album Agenda - Dream Dance Vol. 15 not found, MBID for album Various Artists - Dream Dance Vol. 15 found in DB ...

Thanks for your research!

In my opinion it doesn't make sense to search for an album thumbnail by the Artist tag. For this purpose there's the Album Artist tag.
What do you think?

 

[ajs]

FH does not separate artists and is always looking for the maximum possible options. That is, if both fields are filled, then FH will search for both pairs of pictures.

• Artist - Album
• AlbumArtist - Album

Ie Artist1|ArtistN|AlbumArtist1|AlbumArtistN - Album name ... If all found should return 4 thumbs for Album...

Thanks for explaining, understood.

Since your recent MBID search change the is better now. E. g. for Sunlounger the wrong album thumb is not downloaded anymore!
And I see two correct found album thumbs for mixed artist CDs.
I'll keep on testing.

Since album thumbs are displayed much smaller in MediaPortal a lower screen resolution is acceptable than for backgrounds.
Can we apply the screen resolution FH setting not to album thumbnails?

FH use MP thumbs settings, and all thumbs downloaded by FH used by MP...

[horned_reaper]

But this setting is managed by FH and also the temporary file deletion is done by FH:

 

[ajs]

This settings for Fanarts not for Thumbs...
If i remember

[horned_reaper]

No, that's wrong. This setting applies to album thumbs as well.
I just lowered it to 300x300, then the previously deleted downloaded file got imported to the FH database.
Can you make album thumbs independent from this setting, please?

 

[ajs]

No, that's wrong. This setting applies to album thumbs as well.

Hmmm ...

I just lowered it to 300x300, then the previously deleted downloaded file got imported to the FH database.
Can you make album thumbs independent from this setting, please?

Why not use 300x300?
