Have to wait until XBMC fully implements MusicBrainz IDs.

I am bringing this back to live status, as it looks like one of the two current image providers for AS has gone away. I'm going to try and figure out how to get MusicBrainz IDs using the artist name, cache that, and then use it to enable searching on the other two services.

Got an api key for fanart.tv. Requested one for theaudiodb. Musicbrainz apparently doesn't require an account or API key for searching.

Got theaudiodb api key. Started separate branch (musicbrainz) and have initial code in place to pull a musicbrainz ID.

fanart.tv support is now in alpha. Man was that a pain.

pkscout commented 11 years ago

1.5.3.006 is out for testing. I'm testing 1.5.3.007 internally. This includes musicbrainz, theaudiodb.com, and fanart.tv support.

1.5.4 shipped with fixes.
