Yeah, MQ5, but technically I have my own custom mod of his visualization. But my issue is the same with his stock one. I quickly tried Confluence but clearly I need to set something up b/c no art shows for anything. I'm just confused why my fallback art doesn't typically show when no fanart is found locally or remotely. Thanks for your help.

Given the number of people in a similar boat as you, I think I'm going to whip up something that will, through brute force, rename the folders to the artist name. It will be a separate add-on and probably won't be submitted to the official repo. If I just do renaming, you'd have to manually merge them, but I think I could set it up where you tell the script where you want the files dumped and then it would pull them from the cache and put them in the right place. I'm a little nervous about that though, as it would never be perfect.

I suspect it will be the end of the year before I can get to a project like this though.

Here's the thing though. If you just delete the file, AS will happily download it again. And if you edit it, every couple of weeks AS will refresh the file from online, overwriting your changes. The best thing to do would be to follow the wiki instructions on overriding the downloaded information with local information (it's section 5). The only override file you would need to create is artistbio.nfo. I the content section of the file, just put a couple of spaces.

I actually deleted everything in ArtistInformation to be safe. Did xbmc scrape this various artist info during a library scan?

In most cases, I don't have the bio and when I get it, it's in the wrong language (I set it in order to have this info in french but it shows info in English while the french text actually exists in lastfm site). On the other hand, no problem with local music...weird.

Quote:Other thing, with my eden version and last versions of AD, I can't display the spotimc artists pictures while again it's working with local music. I haven't changed anything on my setup and didn't do any update.
