hey folks quick question , i just scraped 4 artists and a few albums to test the functionality in the latest build... prelim results look good, it finally seems to be working, but I have a couple questions..

where is it pulling the fanart from?
and where is it pulling the album thumbs from?

Slayer, Rage against the Machine, and Rob Zombie all seemed to scan in with fanart just fine, but a Guns N Roses downloaded a artist thumb only with NO fanart at all. And picking "get fanart" just shows 0 remote thumbs, I can only browse locally.

I want to check if either XBMC is scraping wrong, and there is indeed fanart on the website. and if there truely is no fanart, I'll provide the HD fanart and upload it so other people dont run into this problem

And the second question is just where is it getting the album thumbs from? theyre pixelly, low quality. I would also update those on the website myself, to contribute, if possible

Thanks guys for any fast responses, I'm trying to do this tonight

It depends on the scraper in use, which you haven't stated.

oh sorry, its set to Allmusic i guess, the default.

here is the xbmc debug log

i noticed in there it says

Code:

19:32:48 T:2926545776 M:3176808448   DEBUG: scraper: GetHTBThumbs returned <details></details>
19:32:48 T:2926545776 M:3176808448   DEBUG: scraper: GetHTBFanart returned <details><fanart url="http://www.htbackdrops.com/"></fanart></details>

So I went to htbackdrops.com and typed in Guns N Roses and there certainly are fanarts there.. so I don't know whats wrong?

thanks

Please change the two occurrences of

Code:

http://www.htbackdrops.com/search.php?search_terms=all&search_keywords=\1

to

Code:

http://www.htbackdrops.com/search.php?search_terms=any&search_keywords=\1

in allmusic.xml and let me know if it fixes the issue or raises others
