Ok so I have been digging in as deep as I can with XBMC and I love it but I have run into something that I havent quite figured out how to resolve. The way a music artist is displayed in Music Library is irking me. I have a feeling this may be more than one issue at work and have something to with both me and a program or scraper being confused.
I will use the artist that got me started down this spiral - "Weird Al" Yankovic. For example I have XBMC set to read tags. I have the entire Weird Al discography. In Artist view in the Music Library he shows up three times. Once as "Weird Al" Yankovic showing 8 of the 13 albums, once as Weird Al showing 1 of his albums, and Once as Weird Al Yankovic showing 12 of 13 albums. The last two instances reflect reading of the folders and filenaming used.
Of course I would like to have them all show up under one artist. I scraped with Univeral Album/Artist scraper and theAudiodb scraper. Not sure if this may be a cause of problems. Cleaned library once. And I am not sure completely how to find this but i think the tags are ID3. Also, nowhere in file names or tags are any of the song's artists or album artist "Weird Al" Yankovic with the quotes.
Anyone have any ideas or help to sort these items better, even if its just to tell me i'm a noob and to go to such and such? Should I just start over without a scraper?
TIA
Not sure if it matters but openelec 3.2.4 generic x86-64 Frodo 12.2
