Issue with Artist images

[keeper05 0]

My entire collection is structured. It is Artist>Album>1. Track.mp3. I have included The settings for artist Metadata, image fetchers, and settings for those fetchers. I have reordered these image fetchers with no success. I have also included a screenshot of part of the artist page. As you can see there are multiple images missing, the whole library is like this. As you can see the majority of the images for artists are of the "backdrop" variety. 

I have tried to refresh metadata on individual artists and never had it pull an artist photo.

Hi, when doing this, did you make note of the help text at the top of the library options dialog?

Hello, yes, I made sure that I manually refreshed the metadata for existing items after reordering the image fetchers. All but the most obscure artists have, at least, bio information. A lot that don't have a primary photo, at least have a logo.

Did you try using the manual image editor to see what was available for one of those artists?

I had not because I tried that with albums and it never found anything. 

After reading your last response I tried it and it worked right away. Then I tried using "refresh metadata" and it worked on the three spot checked artists. Did anything happen on the Emby end? I tried a metric ton of refreshing artists and none of the worked. Is it recommended to spot refresh the artists that didn't work (100s) or can I do a global refresh?

Our musicbrainz had some issues last week so maybe that’s why. That may explain why you are now able to get images.
