I'd already seen the the gitlab Ronie space, but I didn't understand how to import the 1.0.18 version... now I found the zip function, so I'm sure it will be really easy.
Thanks so much

Hi guys.
It happens that sometimes I have to rescrape all my music library almost from scratch.
Last time it was a few days ago because I was using MariaDB and this year the new album from Arab Strap has got emojis in the title.
Guess what? MariaDB (MySQL) doesn't support emojis in strings, so the album after the scan didn't appear in the library. :-)))
So I decided to come back to SQLite, because it seemed that it hadn't the same problem. I launched the library update, but the following day I found that the process had crashed during the second passage of scraping, the one that's dedicated to artists. In these cases (it happened other times in the last years, since the GAS became the default - and best - scraper) if you launch the update again, at the end of the album scraping, it never "jumps" to artist scraping; so you in any case remain with an unfinished artist scraping.
Now I had to relaunch the whole scraping, with the apposite function present on the library context menu, but in this way it starts from the very beginning of albums one by one (mine are more than 10,000), so the process is very very long and I'll have to wait for tomorrow (because I have a Raspy Pi5, otherwise it would be worse).
My question is: is there a way to trigger ONLY the second part of the library update, the one dedicated to artists?
Thanks in advance
Alex
