Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin

Thanks Michael. I'm tagging flac files in Foobar. I understand it uses VORBIS comments for images.

I don't believe the scanner can handle artist artwork embedded into the
music files. Any image found would probably be considered cover art.
What tag are those images stored in? What file format are you using?

Has anyone else noticed MAI misbehaving lately.

Yep, I don't get any reviews for albums. Other things I cannot judge. Squeezelite does not indicate any available updates.

This is an extract from server.log upon listening to Joni Mitchell For the Roses. I have no idea whats happening with MAI

Are you running the latest and greatest version?

Unfortunately your server.log is only a small snippet. Please use the
link to download the server.log.zip file.

Is your MAI version 1.6.29?

Yes, that's the latest. Can you give me album examples which would not work?

Hi, it is working again after I updated. I have to say though that updates are not indicated in the material skin - you have to got the trad skin to be notified. Also, material skin will not display the plugin version. And MAI is not listed under active plugins. But yeah I should have had a more thorough look into it.
It now displays the reviewer's name too.
I didn't post the whole server.log as I didn't want to clutter the whole forum with a 4mb file full of garbage.
Albums whose review is displayed now but wasn't before include Chvrches The bones of what you believe Killers Hot fuss or Joni Mitchell For the roses

In the case of tracks played from Qobuz I am seeing quite a lot of "No artist found" results for Artist Bio. It is quite frequent but certainly not the norm. In all such cases the artist is correctly identified in Now Playing and the Queue. Is there something within the data coming from Qobuz that is causing this.

Example track
URL: qobuz://90957992.flac

I'm getting both bio and review. Are you running the latest MAI version?
What UI/navigation path are you using?

Version: 8.2.0 - 1613989247 @ Mon Feb 22 11:42:44 CET 2021
Music and Artist Information 1.6.29

Using Material 2.3.1 via Info button and yes you are right it works in Default and also in Material via More / Artist Information / Bio - sorry I should have checked first.

I'll post into Craig's thread instead
