Great, thanks!

General question: Have you ever thought about increasing the maximum Fanart amount? It was introduced at a time were space was more expensive, internet bandwidth lower and computing resources less performant than today.

Have you ever thought about increasing the maximum Fanart amount

Is there a limit on the number of Fanarts in the FH? In my opinion, no ...

 

[horned_reaper]

Yes, ten per artist.

 

[ajs]

Yes, ten per artist.

Change in config file:

<entry name="ScraperMaxImages">10</entry>

to

<entry name="ScraperMaxImages">100</entry>

and enjoy

So it was originally conceived, by the author of the plugin, why, I don’t know. But to be honest I'm too lazy to redo this, 3 are enough for me.

https://github.com/yoavain/mediaportal-fanart-handler/blob/master/FanartHandler/FanartHandlerConfig.cs#L4731-L4740

      comboBoxMaxImages.Enabled = true;
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Clear();
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("1");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("2");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("3");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("4");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("5");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("6");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("8");
      comboBoxMaxImages.Items.Add("10");

That's OK. I've a workaround now.
You can change it once you are bored.

You can change it once you are bored.

I hope it will not be soon

One question related to the & separator.
On artist search FH splits artist names with & separator to two search strings e. g. DJ Sakin & Friends. This can lead to wrong results of different artists in this case "Friends":

How to avoid this?
Can FH search only for the whole artist name instead?

Another example: Marina And The Diamonds
Search 1: Marina
Search 2: The Diamonds

The Diamonds is a totally different artist (band).
