yes

Hi,

I checked "auto download information when update" in music library settings with default scraper: musicbrainz and artist defaut scraper : universal scraper.

While artist scraper has automaticly downloaded information foe all my music, musicbrainz album scraper didn't..

I have to manually search album information ...

Why ?

Thanks

The scraper is not finding the remixes /compilation albums of various artists such as moby, abba, etc . It is not so bad at finding the main albums though. But do I have to re-tag the albums as per music brainz database? I had previously scrapped with mp3tag and kept the names of the albums as allmusic database

Other than album name, is there any other way of scraping the album

no, not currently, there are some chances that you will be able to lookup based on MBID as well in Frodo

Some of the albums got scraped, but many other didn't get scraped. Following is a list of some of them that didn't get scraped:-

Go: the very best of moby - Moby
3.5 - Safri duo
Gold (Greatest hits) - Abba
Indian Timing - Panjabi MC
tron Reconfigured - Daft Punk
The good , the bad and the ugly - Ennio Morricone
Titanic - James Horner

Manual Search didn't work either

Using XBMC 11.0 git , windows 7

log:- my log

Can you try with scraper v1.1.0?

Fixed in scraper v1.1.0

Hi, thanks but i don't see it in the repository at this time.

When i will update it, can i just do a "info for all album" ot sould i delete source..readd source..etc.. ?

(Maybe a manual "infos for all album already work with 1.0.0 , i didn't tried that...)

Odd are high that you will need to delete and readd source.
(you can do a force refresh from the context menu of xbmc.org repository to quicken up the update)

Or maybe just wait until Universal Scraper for albums will be release, because that will be superior to this scraper.
