Update allmusic.com scraper (1 Viewer)

[hwahrmann]

i'd say, we put it into 1.6 and then let's see, if we can make it more modular, so that not every change on a site would need code changes.

Maybe we can share work with the changes done to My Video?

Well, if it works, let it go to 1.6, then I can easily see scraper and give you a template (single scraper, or user choice from more sources like it is for movies). For now, MyVids scrapers leaves minimal trash in temp directory but I need to see what can be done with new csscript library for net4.

@jameson_uk: Sorry, I'm a bit confused here.
1. Here, in this thread, I get the impression that the MusicInfoHandler plugin is being replaced by built-in MP functionality offered by the files in the first post. However, in this other thread, you offer an updated version of the MusicInfoHandler plugin said to be compatible with the files in the first post here.
Does the (updated) MusicInfoHandler plugin offer some additional functionality beyond the files in the first post?
2. The first post says to install the provided HtmlAgilityPack.dll (v1.4.6) into <ProgramFiles>\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal.
However, my (v1.5.0) MP installation (successively upgraded from at least 1.3.0) already includes HtmlAgilityPack.dll (v1.4.0) in <ProgramFiles>\Team MedaiPortal \MediaPortal\plugins\Windows. Is the duplication intentional? Could there be conflicts between the 2 different versions?

P.S. Maybe not a conflict, but I have observed a side effect of the installation as described in post #1, which I suspect is related to point 2 above.
Several entries in the MP menu are duplicated (see attached). If I delete or rename the new files and restore the old ones, the problem goes away. However, to eliminate the duplicate entries, I had to run MediaPortal Configuration and exit with OK after restoring the original files.

P.P.S. Side effect described above was due to renaming WindowPlugins.dll to a filename with the dll extension. It is essential to either *change the extension*, or move the file elsewhere for backup purposes!

You shouldn't need anything from the first post with 1.6.0.

If you are reporting a problem, please provide logs.

elliottmc,

As tony3ridge is pointing out, the artist information is not updating on his PC, neither does it on mine.

I tried to use the files ion the V3 zip, however, MP doesn't work anymore with these. Interestingly only one of the pdb files in the zip is distributed with the 1.6 release.

Well, you don't need any of the files in this thread in order to use AMG scraper with 1.6.0. Everything is included. The pdb files are for debugging (if I understand correctly) and are not needed, so don't worry about those.

If you have copied these files into your 1.6.0 install, try reinstalling (over the top of your existing installation should be fine) to replace the files.

If it doesn't work then, please post logs so we have a chance to work out why.
