[Release] MusicBrainz Album Scraper

1.1.0 is still lot better

But whenever 2 artists are credited for the whole album, then search fails.

Examples:

The Social Network - Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

The Dark Knight - Hanz Zimmer and James Newton Howard

Well, not sure how to address this.

Probably you have both artists as an artist in the file tag.
So the scraper will lookup an artist like "Hanz Zimmer and James Newton Howard" which is obvioulsy doesn't exist.

Sometimes, the scraper no fetch information while the infos are available.

I try the album "Marina And The Diamonds" "The Family Jewels" to scrap without a album.nfo and with album.nfo with url, but no informations will load.

Thanks

Indeed. Allmusic link doesn't exist for this album on MusicBrainz.
Please add it and you will be able to scrape it immediatelly (no waiting for cache update intervals, etc.)

Sorry I don't understand this behavior.

I add two album from Marina and the Diamonds to the db. The album Electra Heart load the informations, the album The Family Jewels, don't load the informations.
Both albums don't have a link to allmusic.com.

So I add a link to allmusic.com for the album with the missing informations but if I try to update, I get the keyboard to enter album title and artist name in a loop

The log show:

Well, I was mistaken: this is the MusicBrainz scraper and I thought this is about the Universal Scraper.
What information are you actually missing?

For the album "Electra Heart" the title list is loading. That's OK, The label and the rating are missing.
For the album "The Family Jewels" nothing is loading. the scraper go to a loop to enter album title and artist name.

What is the universal scraper?? In the past I use the allmusic album scraper and I get all the necessary informations that I need.

I would advise the Universal scrapers. It's a combination off the best of all. See if it stil hapens if you use that one.

The same with the universal scraper. For the album "The Family Jewels" no information fetched and runs in a loop to enter album title and artist name
