JSON Call to Get Artist Discography
#1
Right now via JSON you can get a list of albums in your library for a given artist, but not *all* the albums for an artist. The information is in the database, and some skins (like Confluence) do display the information, but there is no way I can find to get that same information via JSON. Because of that I end up having my addon, Artist Slideshow, query either theaudiodb or lastfm for that info. It seems irresponsible of me to request of an external site information that is already in Kodi's db. Ideally the JSON call would take either artist name, artist id, or even musicbrainzID as an argument and return an array of lists for which the list contains, at a minimum, the album name and the path to the thumbnail image for the album.
