Public bug reported: The My Music scope tries to download artist biography from dash.ubuntu.com when displaying the artist overview page. It in turn tries to retrieve the biography via the 7digital API.
However, the 7digital API always returns an empty string because they don't have a license to provide the biographies shown in their own web store: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/7digital-api/mtMWAOAiIB0/s6933tEZ0BYJ While dash.ubuntu.com could be modified to retrieve biographies elsewhere, at the moment the scope is just wasting time and bandwidth by asking for the data. So in the short term we are better off disabling the biography download code. ** Affects: unity-scope-mediascanner (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549616 Title: My Music scope attempts todownload artist biography, but biography is always empty.
