- fional - 2012-01-28 DDDamian Wrote:Are you getting that with artists who clearly have a bio on the AMG website? Thanks for helping I do have the file in both the special and the install location. Once I put it in the install location, the copyright notice left, but instead if just puts the no data message. I checked allmusic.com and each one I tried it on there exists data on the bio and album page. http://allmusic.com/artist/yeah-yeah-yeahs-p522831/biography http://allmusic.com/album/show-your-bones-r823806 as an example. This is the script I used http://pastebin.com/sTRfsTpF The link you had on page 3. Is that not the right one? - AndrewWOz - 2012-01-29 DDDamian Wrote:@AndrewWOz - that should be correct. Please duplicate the change in your /XBMC/Addons directory (XBMC in this case being the application folder, not the userdata path). Another user in this thread reported that worked for him. Thanks for that. I ended up installing xbmc on my PC and got it working there, but I'll give this a go when I add some more music. Thanks for all your help, it's greatly appreciated - quigleyb - 2012-01-29 When you make the change, how do you get it to refresh the library? - DDDamian - 2012-01-29 quigleyb Wrote:When you make the change, how do you get it to refresh the library? Remove the source - clean the library - add source should do it - DDDamian - 2012-01-29 fional Wrote:Thanks for helping I do have the file in both the special and the install location.

Thanks for the feedback - will check into it later today and get back to you - just heading out but saw your post. Thanks for the excellent info BTW - that's how a support request should be done - fional - 2012-01-29 DDDamian Wrote:Thanks for the feedback - will check into it later today and get back to you - just heading out but saw your post.

My music collection is a tiny monster hehe - WildBuzz - 2012-01-30 Here's the correct path for all you out there using Linux /usr/share/xbmc/addons/metadata.common.all music.com Also, DDDamian, thanks (you and your coder) for hooking us all up with this. - DDDamian - 2012-01-30 WildBuzz Wrote:Here's the correct path for all you out there using Linux Thx for both bits and welcome to the forums. - DDDamian - 2012-01-30 @fional - I tried to duplicate using exactly that artist/album. Results for artist bio (in debug log): Code: 21:05:49 T:5736 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(0CF7DF68) http://www.allmusic.com/artist/yeah-yeah-yeahs-p522831/biography The info on pg 3 corrects the scraping prohibition (pls read disclaimer) and if that's gone away then your files under metadata.common.allmusic.com are fine. Please go to system>settings>addons>enabled addons>artist information>allmusic and check your version: 2.0.7 is correct Please go to system>settings>addons>enabled addons>album information>allmusic and check your version: 2.0.1 is correct These should have been pushed to you automatically, but if not, the update button should be available if your version doesn't match. Hope that helps, let me know if not. If that's really your picture I'm moving to Ireland - eakaluk - 2012-01-30 Thx vdrfan - more just putting the announcement out there - DDDamian - 2012-01-30 @eakaluk - hope you didn't join just to quote my second post in this thread. If you're representing AMG, I'd like you to know that this little workaround has nothing to do with the XBMC foundation, and in my opinion *enhances* the reputation of AMG as the most expert and widely-respected source of music information out there, something which a skilled marketer could point out to potential advertisers. It's a plus that a large community would use your database as the reference standard. "Chosen as the Number 1 source for quality music information by over a million XBMC users" in your homepage and sales bumpf would be a valuable tool at the expense of a few inconvenienced electrons flowing thru your servers, if you were willing to let those electrons pass. - fional - 2012-01-30 DDDamian Wrote:@fional - I tried to duplicate using exactly that artist/album. Results for artist bio (in debug log): The disclaimer does go away, but nothing is used in substitute. Rather it basically nils all the fields I checked the versions and I do have 2.0.7 and 2.0.1 respectively. That's a shame, because allmusic is vastly superior for my collection.

I'm trying to update it through my windows PC. I figured out that I needed to use WinSCP to push the allmusic.xml file to the right directory. I couldn't find a way to access it through samba using windows explorer. That method only gave me access to the userdata\addon_data directory, not the /storage/.xbmc/addons/ directory. Anyway, I updated the file, rebooted the computer, tried refreshing the library, scanning new folders, etc. and still I can't get it to work... Neither artist bios or album info will load. Help anyone? I've switched to LastFM for now, though I do like allmusic. - DDDamian - 2012-02-02 PM replied, but I'd make sure it's in both directories, and I'm unfamiliar with OpenElec. Anyone else here use it? |
