Same here but on every band lately. using most recent nightly

Yeah, you're right. I just noticed it is not grabbing quite a few of the other artists I tried. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Your title is transformed to "The Black Demon 2023 1080p WEB-DL DDP5 1 H 264". But I think we should auto-remove the H.264 parts, etc.

Yes, and thank you.

This is what i was referring to earlier in just removing everything after the year when scraping the movie.

Hi, you can exclude words by adding them to MediaElch's settings. See https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/1627#issuecomment-1659066471
I've added a few more defaults to the next version. :-)

hmm.. It seems that there are no links to Discogs, TheAudioDb nor AllMusic in the entry for the band on MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/fe2897f1-a391-41d6-b0e2-f15261be0c69
MediaElch relies on MusicBrainz to provide links. If they are not there, MediaElch won't scrape anything. The error reporting could be better, though.
Also, MediaElch should allow to search for artists on Discogs and other sites, since they are already used under-the-hood.

MediaElch 2.10.4 should have fixed it. Tested with Rammstein just now.

Here is the link for them on MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/fe2897f1-a391-41d6-b0e2-f15261be0c69

Here is the link for them on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1495761-Bad-Habit

I can find that band on all the different platforms, but it's not just that band. There are many others that are not able to be scraped.

MediaElch does not even insert the MusicBrainz ID anymore. In version 2.10.0 I can scrape all the bands that I can't scrape in your latest release. For example, MusicBrainz ID for Bad Habit - fe2897f1-a391-41d6-b0e2-f15261be0c69. Unfortunately it has to be MediaElch that's the problem, at least in the last 2 releases. The only issue I have with 2.10.1 is that it's not filling in the discography of the band.

You're right. Here is what happened: I had to refactor the Discogs scraper for it to work again. The UniversalMusicScraper searches for an artist on MusicBrainz only. If a result is found, we scrape the artist's URLs for Discogs, AllMusic, etc. from the MusicBrainz site, which are then used to load data. However, my tests only had artists which had all of those IDs. Internally, we wait for Discogs to load. But if there is no Discogs-URL, we will wait forever...
Thanks for reporting and sticking to it. It will be fixed by https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/pull/1633
I'll trigger a snapshot build. A new version should be available in ~1h for Windows and Linux.

Andre

OK, I can get artists, but the problem still remains for releases. Hit the download arrow and nothing happens. go back to artist or another release, then reselect release, hit red download arrow, repeat ad infinitum

EDIT:  Cool, looks like it may be fixed - YAY!!!    Thank you!!

You will need a new snapshot version. You can download it from: https://mediaelch-downloads.ameyering.de/snapshots/
If an artist/release does not have a Discogs link on MusicBrainz, MediaElch fails to load it.

@bugwelle - I think there is a bug in the latest snapshot version.

Thanks. How did that happen? I fixed the color scheme for "music" in https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/pull/1630
Tested it on Ubuntu 22.04, where it looks fine.
But on Windows, everything is broken. Thanks for reporting. Since Windows is not my main operating system, I don't notice this immediately. Smile

A new snapshot will be available in the next hour. :-)
Thanks for reporting all of these issues.

Thank you. I'll go try it out now.

@bugwelle
UPDATE: Do you think it would be possible to have an option to turn off that new feature that shows the amount of albums per artists?

It was never rendered on Windows, only macOS and Linux. So it's new for Windows users only. Big Grin
Is there an issue with the rendering or is it just too verbose?

No issue with the rendering, but for it being a bit too verbose. Well, somewhat, and I guess some may like it, but it's just very distracting to me, personally. I always like the simplicity of the previous interface.
