[solved] No Fanart when playing (1 Viewer)

[horned_reaper]

Or the electronic music group Blank & Jones

is resolved to Jones (Tom Jones):

My Fanart database is getting messy now, assumed through the scrapper setting change.

Can you make the artist split search optional, via config file entry?

 

[horned_reaper]

Even the artist "Sarah Vaughan" was split into two searches, first "Sarah", second "Vaughan"! Artist thumb for "Sarah" was downloaded.
For the time being I've changed the AddAdditionalSeparators back to no again to avoid further wrong downloads.

How to prevent this?
Can FH search for the whole artist name?

Blank & Jones - DJ Sakin & Friends

For this artist FH search fanarts for Blank & Jones for Blank for Jones and show the some ... for DJ Sakin & Friends for DJ Sakin for Friends ...

is resolved to Jones (Tom Jones):

MusicBrainz return this result for Search: Jones

Can you make the artist split search optional, via config file entry?

Remove & from config, ie make like:

  <section name="Separators">
    <entry name="sep0"> feat </entry>
    <entry name="sep1"> feat. </entry>
    <entry name="sep2"> and </entry>
    <entry name="sep3"> и </entry>
    <entry name="sep4"> und </entry>
    <entry name="sep5"> et </entry>
    <entry name="sep6">,</entry>
  </section>

Even the artist "Sarah Vaughan" was split into two searches, first "Sarah", second "Vaughan"!

This should not be the case if there is no space in the delimiter. Otherwise, such a behavior would be for all artists.

For the time being I've changed the AddAdditionalSeparators back to no again to avoid further wrong downloads.

Then there will be no fanart for the artist: Marina And The Diamonds

Blank & Jones

You can try adding this artist to this file: yoavain/mediaportal-fanart-handler
Like:

<entry name="artist11">Blank & Jones|Blank Jones</entry>

But I'm not sure if this will work ...

You can change MBID in Configurator for Friends to 9c1fe6ec-2962-4e28-a57b-b6cf5e11904e or for DJ Sakin & Friends to 9c1fe6ec-2962-4e28-a57b-b6cf5e11904e or maybe for DJ Sakin to 9c1fe6ec-2962-4e28-a57b-b6cf5e11904e
The some for Blank & Jones change to 6606c527-376a-47b4-bb35-748d01e14f6d

And due MARINA - MusicBrainz
MARINA (a.k.a. Marina and the Diamonds)
Change MBID for Marina And The Diamonds to 7f3d82ee-3817-4367-9eec-f33a312247a1 for Marina to 7f3d82ee-3817-4367-9eec-f33a312247a1 and for The Diamonds to 7f3d82ee-3817-4367-9eec-f33a312247a1
If you change MBID in configurator, then all images deleted and new MBID stored ...

 

[ajs]

Or delete & from separators, retag all need music like Marina And The Diamonds to Marina & The Diamonds rescan music DB ...

Thanks for your hints!

Several bands have "and" or "&" in their name. Hence, to me it doesn't make sense to add the separators "and" and "&" to split the search. Because this can lead to wrong search results.

Hence I've changed the config as follows and deleted all Fanarts, artist and album thumbnails:
<section name="Separators">
<entry name="sep0"> feat </entry>
<entry name="sep1"> feat. </entry>
</section>
<section name="Scraper">
<entry name="ScraperMaxImages">10</entry>
<entry name="ScraperMusicPlaying">yes</entry>
<entry name="ScraperMPDatabase">no</entry>
<entry name="ScraperInterval">24</entry>
<entry name="AddAdditionalSeparators">yes</entry>
<entry name="UseArtistException">yes</entry>
</section>

But the Fanarts are still not stored with their full artist name "Marina And The Diamonds" and also not shown when played:

Change MBID for Marina and The... To correct...
