Hi,
Could you please consider for V14 or onwards a new swtich in music settings to enable / disable automatic scanning for album or artist information or not.
If the switch was to be enabled, then when pressing i on either an ablum or atist then it should automatically execute the scan or it disabled then it should bypass the scan and show the artist or album page.
The problem here is that you can enter an infinite loop if the currently assigned scraper cannot find either the album or artist depending which info is attempting to be accessed. This means you can never actually get to the album or artist information unless a successful scan is executed.
I believe there are solutions for this in certain skins but if if could be introduced into the main solution as a switch or even a solution that if the scan fails then it still continues to the relevant page.
This should not affect the 'refresh' option on the actual artist or album information page but just the process that is initiated when pressing i on an album or artst to remove this infinite loop that happens on scrap failures.
Thanks
Mike.
