Actually I found another album to import with the correct song title

http://www.theaudiodb.com/album/2158388

Try now

In the future you can import albums yourself, just find the release-group ID on musicbrainz and add them to TheAudioDB.com

- Searchtrack API method has been improved so that shorter song names should work with mixes and extended names. So...

"I Love the Nightlife"

will now find this song as well as an exact match.

"I Love the Nightlife (Disco Round)"

This should make for much better matching of music videos.

"Only 24"? LOL it is an awesome result compared to what we had a couple of months back for music videos...

Other than that, ndo files are supported by the theaudiodb.com music video scraper. You will need to include the link to the wanted track on theaudiodb.com.

I love this Scraper, and have really seen a huge progress getting my Music Videos to show up correctly. I have around 5,000 Music Videos, and currently around 2,600 have been Scraped with some data.

I have a few questions regarding this Scraper.

1. When viewing Music Videos by Artist, I noticed some Artists have Portraits, but most do not. What is the naming convention used for Artist artwork?

2. poster.jpg, cdart.jpg, fanart.jpg, etc, don't seem to work, when placed in the same folder as the Music Video. Is this the correct naming convention? Is the poster.jpg the correct name for the Album artwork?

3. The group "4 Non Blondes" does not get Scraped. I'm guessing this group is missing from the database, but I was able to get artwork from Fanart.tv.

I'm using Frodo 12.1 and the ACE skin if that makes a difference.

Is it possible to support Scene naming like this?

Blink_182-After_Midnight-DDC-720p-x264-2012-FRAY_INT
Ed_Sheeran-Drunk_(Rudimental_Remix)-x264-2012-FRAY

They would be in folders.

Ok here is my issues with the scraper. It is only for albums. Music Videos normally come off the back on singles. I have about 600 video I can not enter now. Also since it uses musicbrainz I need to create information there and then create it again in TheAudioDb. To me this seems a bit much. I'm from the island so I have many music videos that would never be on a DB to start with. I don't mind adding to DB's as I have done it over and over on TheTVdb. My issue is entering the data twice and then being stuck if that song is not on an album. Right now I have an issue were I can not get %0 Cent - My Life on my XBMC library because it's a single and the album has not been released.
