[solved] Mixed artist pictures (4 Viewers)

[ajs]

There are code solutions to compare the content of pictures

FH has an algorithm for checking similarity, but when I tested it, for large pictures it’s slow and not very effective, if the pictures are identical, it works, if they are slightly modified by the site it doesn’t work, you can enter the percentage of identity, but then different pictures come across but the algorithm considers them similar. And one more difficulty at the time of loading the plugin does not know for whom it is downloading the picture. It is necessary to change the logic. When I experimented with this, I thought that it did not make sense. Only extra load.

I can think about it, make a setting and add for fan art ... I'll see if it doesn’t take a lot of changes, I will add.

Great, thanks for your efforts!
I'd love this feature!

You can make a setting for the percentage of identity. So it's up to the user if he wants to use this feature and how many risk for false-positive detections he accepts.

It is possible, but so far I can’t find where to add this analysis without redoing the plugin’s floor. If I find a beautiful place in the source code, I will add ...

I think I've found the cause for the mixed artist pictures: If the artist in the ID3 tag of music files is set to ? or ! only, without letters, FH retrieves the wrong MBID (of Marilyn Manson), stores it for several artists in the FH database and downloads wrong pictures and stores wrong file names. See attached log files!

As a workaround I've removed all ? and ! artist ID3 entries. Now the problem doesn't occur anymore.

This is very strange, I tried to simulate such a situation and it did not work out for me, or rather, only for artists in whose name there is only a sign ! or ? wrong pictures turned out. But for others everything turned out more or less correctly.

Yes, it happens only when there is only a sign ! or ? in the artist ID3 field.
I had several such music files where the artist name is unknown.

Shazam not solve this problem?

Removing the artist name or resolving via Shazam would be workarounds for most cases.
But in my opinion this mustn't happen. I consider it as a bug.
And, there's e. g. the artist whose real name is !!!. Both workarounds can't be applied.

LastFM site return wrong ID for Unknown artist like ! or ? ... I'm powerless here ...

And, there'e also e. g. the artist whose real name is !!!. Both workarounds can't be applied.

Here it is only possible to manually edit the ID, i.e. after the artist entered the database with the wrong ID, go to the configurator and change the ID to the correct one, the plugin will delete the incorrectly downloaded images and next time will search for the correct ID.
