[Enhancement] Artist image and artist info from WEB

[varlesh]

Will be cool use Artist image and info from any music service (MusicBrainz, Wikimedia, LastFM, etc)... Example mockup: Artist info with scrolled widget - it's very good for long text.

[artemanufrij]

for artist image you can enable it here.

or you can put a image into you folder named: aritst.jpg

for artist image you can enable it here.

Enabled, but not worked. On LOG i see this:

** (com.github.artemanufrij.playmymusic:25157): WARNING **: TagManager.vala:63: DISCOVER ERROR: '3' Resource not found. GST_DISCOVERER_ERROR

or you can put a image into you folder named: aritst.jpg

Very good... But think about get info from any web service (if possible)... It's good looking

[artemanufrij]

it's a ID3 warning. it will be fired if ID3 tag can't be read from a music file.

[artemanufrij]

but not Greatest Hits (CD1) if you put an album in your Library it will work. Artist + Album is unique

[varlesh]

@artemanufrij You right, worked :+1:
Please think about artist info

[artemanufrij]

I'm going to close this issue "Artist Info" should be tracked in a separate issue...
