[QUOTE="Gilean, post: 966689, member: 136561"] First I want to say that this plugin is an absolute jewel amongst Mediaportal plugins for me! I have a big collection of 1500+ music videos and importing them to MVCentral database worked mostly without problems, I had to manually correct some of them but that wasn't too big of a job. I have a couple of questions though, something I didn't find answers from wiki-page or from this thread. 1) I have some duplicate artist entries in my database, for example 4 Non Blondes twice on library. Both entries have only the one video I have. Then for example for AC/DC I have THREE artist entries: AC DC, ACDC and another ACDC. One entry has three videos, one has ~16 videos and third one has ~27 videos. And for example AC DC artist has the same videos that appear also under ACDC, but I think some of those videos appear only under one artist entry. There is some other artists that have double/triple entries as well. My question: Is it possible to combine artist entries somehow? I didn't find this option if there was one. Or how should I correct these without rebuilding the whole database again? 2) Now MVCenral looks up artist info etc from Last.fm, but I was wondering, is there any change you could add option to look up from, say, Wikipedia as well? At least that "general" info about artist and/or album.
