Michael: This plugin could be *really* useful to me if is wasn't for the
fact that, with an all-classical library, I have all my artists tagged
as LastName, Initials. I.e.:
Bach, J S
and your plugin finds very few of my 900 some artists and the debug log
is full of entries like:
Code:
--------------------
[14-08-26 10:12:01.0763]
Plugins::MusicArtistInfo::Importer2::_getArtistPhotoURL (108) Getting artwork
for Machaut, G
[14-08-26 10:12:01.7789] Plugins::MusicArtistInfo::Common::call (75) Sync API
call: GET
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?autocorrect=1&method=artist.getInfo&artist=Machaut%2C%20G&format=json
[14-08-26 10:12:02.2064] Plugins::MusicArtistInfo::Common::__ANON__ (92)
Warning: {
error => 6,
links => [],
message => "The artist you supplied could not be found",
} at /var/lib/lms/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/MusicArtistInfo/Common.pm
line 92.
--------------------
HOWEVER: I already keep my own cache of artist / composer info in my
music library, i.e.
/mnt/Media/Music/GENRE/ARTIST/composer.jpg
/mnt/Media/Music/GENRE/ARTIST/composer.html
/mnt/Media/Music/GENRE/ARTIST/bio.html
So, for example:
"/mnt/Media/Music/g_German_Baroque/Bach, J S/composer.jpg"
"/mnt/Media/Music/g_German_Baroque/Bach, J S/composer.html"
"/mnt/Media/Music/g_German_Baroque/Bach, J S/bio.html"
Would it be within your intended use model for your plugin to include
options to search local sources first for artist picture and bio files?
Or would this be a case of "write yer own damn plugin whydontcha?"
