Thanx a lot.

I have a lot of videos that not included in any albums not released on cd or other, only as video. So i cant add it to TheAudioDb.com and i cant view it in party mode because it is not in library.
Can some one modify this scraper for adding videos to library even if it not find on TheAudioDb.com, just "artist - title" taken from filename?

Is the API down right now? Can't seem to grab any data.

[docwra]

Yep was done, should be fixed now.

Hello, new to the forum and Kodi.

I love this scraper, it's an awesome and long overdue idea. I have had some difficulties understanding why some tracks will not scrape from theaudiodb.com though. I have two tracks (Michel'le - Something in My Heart and Ruth B - Lost Boy) that will not seem to work.

I have updated the info on the website myself, but it just doesn't want to scan into library. Can someone please identify any particular reason why?

[docwra]

It will be because of the apostrophe, try removing it.

It will be because of the apostrophe, try removing it.

Yes, and that would make since for the Michel'le song, but what about the Ruth B? Why would that one not load?

[docwra]

Lets break it down a little...

Here is the track on TADB

http://www.theaudiodb.com/track/34718817 (notice how the artist now has a full stop after their name)

It seems Musicbrainz has changed this at some point.

Here is the code the scraper is sending so it should work now.

http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/...lost%20boy

Basically add the full stop to the filename and it should work again.

OK. Now I'm beginning to understand how this works, thank you .

So I got "Ruth B." to work, but I'm still having issues with "Michel'le".

MusicBrainz has "Michelle" as one of her aliases.

On TADB, I changed the Alternate Artist Name to "Michelle" by removing apostrophe, but it still won't download.

Is this the code being sent?

http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/...my%20heart

Alternate Artist appears to be "null" still.

[docwra]

I disabled the alternative name search unfortunately as it was basically doubling mysql cpu time for that query.

We deal with out 10million hits a night, so its a small price to pay.

As far as I can tell, the API is working from the example you posted. I seem to remember this is a known issue with Kodi's scraper system.

[docwra]

Have a look through this whole thread, i'm sure I remember someone getting apostrophes to work.

Maybe try a double apostrophe in the filename?

In the mean time I added it to my repo

EDIT: site is now banned unfortunately

Hi. I am having a challenge with the theaudiodb.com music video scraper. Some artists have the same track name on multiple albums and the scraper returns only one album which can be wrong.

http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/18...=Ever%20Be

Returns:
{"track":[{"idTrack":"34300886","idAlbum":"2239377","idArtist":"136558","idLyric":"0","idIMVDB":null,"strTrack":"Ever be","strAlbum":"We Will Not Be Shaken","strArtist":"Bethel Music","strArtistAlternate":null,"intCD":null,"intDuration":"322320","strGenre":null,"strMood":null,"strStyle":null,"strTheme":null,"strDescriptionEN":null,"strTrackThumb":null,"strTrackLyrics":null,"strMusicVid":null,"strMusicVidDirector":null,"strMusicVidCompany":null,"strMusicVidScreen1":null,"strMusicVidScreen2":null,"strMusicVidScreen3":null,"intMusicVidViews":null,"intMusicVidLikes":null,"intMusicVidDislikes":null,"intMusicVidFavorites":null,"intMusicVidComments":null,"intTrackNumber":"2","intLoved":"0","intScore":null,"intScoreVotes":null,"strMusicBrainzID":"749c58a3-46e0-4dc3-a8c9-06388c4a6bf5","strMusicBrainzAlbumID":"332a3ed7-d646-4b22-8a86-573d31238949","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"d736e4c1-94ef-4bf6-b9f1-63b09eda2702","strLocked":"unlocked"}]}

The Album I want is Come Alive not We Will Not Be Shaken. Can you add in a year or some other hint to get the right album?

Wondering if there is a solution to this problem?

Thanks
