The first option on the first category in french is "Recherche CDArts". You can translate that to "Search CDArts". In fact, it is a path, so you can translate that by 'Path to search CDArts". I tried to put language to english, and the first option is now "Path to music Library".

I think this is just a translation problem. But it can be difficult to propose another translation, because "Path to Music Library", has, in fact, nothing to do with The Music Library

Maybe "Chemin d'enregistrement des images" (images is a poor translation for Artworks, but can be Fanart, Logo, Album Art, CDArt. I remember nothing in French which can be so many terms). In my poor english it will become "Path to save Artworks"

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. I have an "AC" folder (for artwork) but no "DC" folder under it. The MP3 tags obviously store the artist name as "AC/DC" and MediaMonkey stores the filenames as "AC-DC", but cdART downloads the atwork to a folder simply named "AC". I've already looked at the advanced settings and the replacement character is "_". I had this enabled already, but it doesn't seem to be applying it to the art it downloads.

The original plan was to have the art stored with the music, but since Subsonic displays all folders, it would also show the "extrafanart" folders in it's file list too. So now I've gone back to storing them seperately. With this being the case, while it's a minor error, I'll live with it as long as the art is correctly displayed in the skin when and where I need it.

Thanks anyway.

this is my "The Beatles" Collection
Magical Mystery Tour is album that getting problem with the addon, no cdart and no coverart.
there IS a match to the album in musicbrainz, and there is a cdart at fanart.tv (called "Magical Mystery Tour" too)..
so why this is the only one that I have problem with?
I have this weird issue with a few more artist, but that is for the example...

Sometimes MBIDs don't always match between cdartManager and fanart.tv. I'll look into both ends.

This is what is happening...

MusicBrainz has three different 'Magical Mystery Tour' Release Groups listed as seen here -> http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=magical+mystery+tour&type=release_group&method=indexed

The script match my copy of 'Magical Mystery Tour' to the second one MBID: 6e514645-fbee-34ac-97e0-c2120a4a5644. This is correct as I use MusicBrainz Picard and XBMC stores the Release MBID as: 7090f2cf-aed9-4eec-a377-b11778c9f18c. The script then asks MusicBrainz for the Release Group MBID and gets: 6e514645-fbee-34ac-97e0-c2120a4a5644

Now on fanart.tv the 'Magic Mystery Tour' MBID used is: 9d445733-9f7d-3653-aed8-8099e5c9d1e8 which happens to be the first one(the EP)

So what does this mean? Depending on which one you have, the EP, the soundtrack or the bootleg, you have the potential for three different MBID's and really three different albums(cdarts and cover arts.)

The error is on the uploader's side at fanart.tv as they did not verify the MBID that they are uploading to. I'll see if I can fix it, if not I'll get someone to fix it.


These errors do happen as we are only human and computers are just machines(we don't always think the same) I do provide a method to see the MBID's for the albums(Advanced -> Modify Addon Database -> Edit Album -> Change MBID -> Select Artist(fast way) or Select Album(a little slower as all albums are shown)

1.
you said:

how do you know the MBID in fanart.tv?
I searched in the source code of the cdart page and only found that:

Code:

<div class="inset_box">
                                            <div class="albumname"><div>Album <span>Magical Mystery Tour</span></div></div>
                                            <a rel="cdart" href="/fanart/music/b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d/cdart/magical-mystery-tour-4fd2936d773a2.png" class="bigger_image"><img title="The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour cd disc image" class="preview" src="/thumb.php?src=/fanart/music/b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d/cdart/magical-mystery-tour-4fd2936d773a2.png&w=280" alt="The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour cd disc image" /><div class="replacetext"></div></a>

can't see the MBID there..
EDIT:
ok, now I registered to fanart.tv, and when you click "upload" you see the MBID, good enough, but how your script know what is the MBID of the CDART? I want to know what the "script see" and in that way I will match my missing results...

Quote:2. I can't figure out how you find this MBID:
7090f2cf-aed9-4eec-a377-b11778c9f18c
because in this list:
http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=magical+mystery+tour&type=release_group&method=indexed
we have 2-3 Release Groups and I entered to 3 of them, and clicked at every single release, and none of them is carry the ID "7090..."

Quote:3.
ok,and for the record, I tried to change the MBID to 9d445733-9f7d-3653-aed8-8099e5c9d1e8 (the one you said is at fanart.tv) and now the cdart works.

Quote:4. by the way, Ive got the 11 tracks album, from 1967

5. another example of issue, is "Led Zeppelin" album "Led Zeppelin II" 9 tracks version from 1969.
xbmc find it, and the MBID in xbmc is:
33b4653d-006e-3cc1-8afb-386b15a6cd6e
and its true.
The CDART are ok and correct.
but CoverArt is missing.
I looked up in Fanart.tv, and I see the same MBID (I think that Im doing it right..)
so why the Cover is missing?

(2012-12-23, 21:52)gibxxi Wrote: If you want a tidy folder structure in your music library you'll be better off storing the art seperately to the music. cdART creates a folder for each "artist" it recognizes. So if you have albums with multiple artists specified, art will be downloaded to their own named folder seperately.

The R.E.M_ issue is because cdART has an option to replace illegal characters AND trailing full-stops / periods in artist names. If this is undesired you can disable it.

Best course of action for storing music is Artist -> Album always. Pick a naming structure, and stick to it. It will cause you less hassle in the long term.

You can't specify multiple art paths (yet) AFAIK. "Path to Music Library (For Artwork)" doesn't have to be with your music, it can be anywhere, as long as it's writable and reachable by XBMC and the skin your using. cdart.png and folder.jpg files are always stored with the music, everything else is via the path you set.
