Hi, I think it would be interesting to add an option to limit the number of backdrops downloaded by artists.
2.7.0
- Add - 'Edit by Artist' and 'Edit by Album' functions on Modify Database tab
- Add - Change MBIDs for both Artists and albums. 3 methods available - Manually Change the MBID, Manual Search MusicBrainz, Automatic Search using XBMC supplied info(the search provides upto 10 matches)
- Add - 'Find Missing MBIDs' for Albums and Artists
- Add - 'Refresh MBIDs - Automatic' For Albums and Artist, keeps database current with MusicBrainz
- Add - Setting to enable 'Refresh MBIDs' during database update - This will cause the script to take a while to update the database since it checks all MBIDs
- Add - Ability to Disable saving of missing.txt file
- Change - Redo some of the menu animations, allowing for more levels to the Advanced menu
- Fix - properly fix saving of missing.txt file to a VFS folder
- Add - Change MBID for Albums and Artists
- Change - moved matching of recognized artists to the start of the script, so it is only done once per run of program(also will run after a database update)

For cdARTs and Cover art to work the Albums need to be in separate folders
For clearLOGOs and fanarts(including extrafanarts) Artists need to be in separate folders.(though not essential)
The perferred method of organizing the music is the following:
Music
-----> Artist1
-------------->Album1
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
-------------->Album2
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
-----> Artist2
-------------->Album1
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
Though this format is not enforced, just that the Albums need to be in separate folder, this is because cdARTs are placed in the Album level)
If you set the 'Path to Music Library' to an 'Artwork' path, the script will use this for storing the Artist Fanarts and clearLOGOs(and create folders as needed). This path should be matched to the one in the Skin's settings
If your music has been added to XBMC's music library and you are still having problems, please post a debug log file(see signature for instructions)
