Tx, so does "using" mean using my own artist photo library or trying to
view artist photos (and letting MAI download and cache/store them)?

In the end I removed cache and prefs and did a delete and rescan. I
think the issue may have had something to do wiht runinng out of space
on the ssd-card partition so I've increased that.

Then I added MAI, all options are checked except 'store placeholder
files', added seperate (empty) folders for artwork, artist, lyrics and
did a new/changed rescan:

The server has finished scanning your media library.
Total Time: 01:20:06 (Monday, September 14, 2020 / 8:20 AM)

But there's nothing in my mai/artist (except 'artist.png.missing' 0
bytes), artwork or lyrics folders or in cache/mai_coverart.
If I browse for artist pictures they appear from Allmusic and Discogs,
and so do bios, discography etc.  so some aspects of the lookup seems to
be working.

Any ideas why the optimisation i.e. local caching/storage doesn't appear
to be working?
