Online image browser doesn't connect for music


Recommended Posts

Posted

While I can use the online image browser for movies, I get nothing for music. In movies, I get the little "in progress" icon prior to them loading, but nothing to indicate I'm even connecting to anything in music. (I've got everything metadata related enabled in music)

 

Is it me (I'm using Firefox), or is there something I'm not doing?

So it really only works for the individual albums, not from the group name itself (it shows images for albums)?

 

Basically then, if you have:

 

Music/

     Album Artist/

           Album (or multiple albums)

 

you have to manually load images for Album Artist, since it doesn't pull them from the IBN/Artists folder and they don't have a fetcher ID?

we probably were unable to identify your music on musicbrainz or the audiodb. so you want to start by looking at metadata first.

Okay ... I manually applied a musicbrainz id in the editor. I could then get images online. And, that means I know the ID exists for that artist.

 

So, what I'm trying to understand is why the ID wasn't fetched, rather than having to be manually entered.

 

The xml for Album Artist simply has <Type> and <LocalTitle> (which is what the Server wrote, as I had no xml prior).

  <LockData>false</LockData>
  <Type>MusicArtist</Type>
  <LocalTitle>10cc</LocalTitle>
  <Genres>
    <Genre>Rock</Genre>
  </Genres>
</Item>

 

And, as I understand it, <Type> is a subheading under <Person>, so I can see why it would ignore the IBN/artist folder.
