I have a question regarding the import/use of this wonderful plugin!

I know the plugin uses last.fm as it's source for music videos, etc. It's able to match & approve a lot of the music videos, however, there are some it's not able to pick up.

For example, I have a DVD of "Michael Jackson Video Greatest Hits - HIStory". It's an official, retail DVD that was released worldwide in 1993 I believe. It even exists on IMDB and you can buy it from Amazon.Com, etc. However, last.fm doesn't seem to have this DVD listed anywhere, and so the plugin cannot pickup any details of it.

Is last.fm the only source this plugin uses? Can it use IMDB? Aside from creating a blank, editable record and filling in all the information myself - is there any other option for retail, official DVD's?

Thanks!

    Hi guys,

    are you able to getting automaticly artist info? I'm not getting anything! When I select www.last.fm by example, it's loading for a few seconds, and than nothing happend.. So, no Artist Art, and no aditional info like Born, Genre, Style, Years, etc..

    Should this still use to work?

    I don't get anything out of last.fm ... nothing. No artist info; no DVD info. I've had to do my entire collection manually by using the "Add as editable blank", including Artists.

    Wish we could use a different scraper then last.fm.

    Thanks, that makes sense..

    Well, I finally was getting only one single artis image automaticly. (50 cent, just for testing ;))

    The thing of a plugin like this is that everything should go automaticly.. I think there is nothing wrong with the last.fm scraper, but with the comunication between the plugin and the scraper.. All images are present on the website of last.fm, only the plugin can't find it..
