Oops didn't even notice the readme saying master isn't used. So why are gotham and helix not used as well?

Either way, the new PR is done.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - olympia - 2015-01-09

Commented the PR.

PRs pushed to Frodo will be rolled to Gotham and Helix as well. PRs against Gotham will be rolled to Helix. PRs against Helix will be Helix only.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - DarkHelmet - 2015-05-11

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but would it be possible to scrape the track number of a music video on an album and add that number to the library? The second part of the request might not be a thing having to do with a scraper though.

I'm asking this, because I have some video albums (mostly live albums) that I have ripped to single mp4 files for each track and would like to have these videos in my music video library including the track number.

The other solution would be to use the tags from the mp4 files, but that also doesn't work.

And then there's also the problem, that there's no view available for music videos "sort by track".

Many problems from different areas of kodi.

Any help would be appreciated.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - aussie_huddo - 2015-06-11

Is there any way to have this scraper recognise the alternate names from TheAudioDb?

As mentioned before, the scraper does not work with AC/DC files when named "ACDC - track name" (or any other variation of the name that is allowed in windows" and I don't really want to create a bunch of .nfo files or manually search every video I have for them.

Also any other solutions to this problem?

cheers


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - olympia - 2015-06-12

Alternate name is not returned by the search API.

@zag, what do you think?


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - zag - 2015-06-12

Yep sounds good to me, will have a look now.

The server has been upgraded since I first started out, so should be able to handle the load of doubling the SQL requests Wink


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - zag - 2015-06-12

OK I've pushed out the changes...

"ACDC" now works on the API

Code:
http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchtrack.php?s=ac/dc&t=thunderstruck
http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchtrack.php?s=acdc&t=thunderstruck

Similarly, things like "The Foo Fighters" should work as well.

Code:
http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchtrack.php?s=Foo%20Fighters&t=the%20pretender
http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchtrack.php?s=The%20Foo%20Fighters&t=the%20pretender

Let me know if it works on the scraper now.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - olympia - 2015-06-12

Great that was quick Smile Thanks!

@aussie_huddo, can you test and confirm?


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - zag - 2015-06-13

Since this scraper creates millions of hits a night... I have slightly amended the API search to only return 1 record now.

Basically it should work as before, but the track name must be accurate and it will not return multiple results.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - DarkHelmet - 2015-06-21

I'm having problems scanning an artist with an apostrophe, specificially two tracks by "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" named "Lock All The Doors" and "You Know We Can't Go Back". Also "1901" by "Phoenix" is not found. All tracks are available in tadb. Any idea what might cause this?

Ahh nice catch. It was a bug with musicbrainz using a funny character for apostrophe's. Hopefully fixed now, let me know.

Code:
http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchtrack.php?s=Noel%20Gallagher%27s%20High%20Flying%20Birds&t=Lock%20All%20the%20Doors



RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - DarkHelmet - 2015-06-22

The three files are still not working for me. Need a debug log or anything else? Here are the exact names of the files. Copy and pasted from the files names:

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Lock All The Doors.mp4
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - You Know We Can't Go Back.mp4
Phoenix - 1901.mp4

BTW: Why might musicbrainz be the issue here? If I'm not sure if the spelling is correct I always use the spelling from tadb and don't look up at musicbrainz.

I'm not quite sure how the music video scraper works, but there are no youtube links for those videos on TADB yet.

You can add music videos here

http://www.theaudiodb.com/track/34236828

http://www.theaudiodb.com/track/34236833

After that, i'm not sure. A debug log will help


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - DarkHelmet - 2015-06-22

There are no official music videos for the track by Noel Gallagher. They're live recordings of album tracks. I added a music video for the Phoenix track. Didn't help unfortunately. There are two bands called Phoenix in tadb. Don't knwo if this could be it.

And just when I was preparing a log my computer crashed really heavily. Can't even get it to restart and therefore can't access the log. Sorry, will try again but need to get my hardware going first.


RE: [Release] TheAudioDb.com Music Video Scraper - gremlin03 - 2015-06-24

One artist I've never been able to get to scrape is "The Go-Betweens", I have them named as they are on theAudioDB but when scanning it comes up with nothing, I assume it's because of the dash included in the name?
