@WilB My dear, thank you very much! I will focus on the first option.

In the second option, in the case of a two-disc edition, for what reasons does not download to the artist folder, but downloads to the player folder yttm

Is individual track data scraping added or not?
Allmusic has genres and moods for some popular songs now.

Hello WilB!

I hope all is well with you.
Moved from Win7 to Win 10
foobar2000 1.6.2
Spider Monkey Panel v1.3.1
Biography 1.1.3
Doing this below and set to 20 images but I can't fetch more than 5 images?
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=112914.msg971055#msg971055
I have saved (set new path in biography.ini ) yttm folder on another hdd and I have folders there with 20 images and an update.txt.
Tested to remove images and only 5 gets now downloaded.
Also noticed that the folder "lastfm" contains like a "b" folder with artist name starting with B *Name* And Similar Artists.json
In my yttm path there is no "lastfm" folder or .json
I'm obviously missing something in the configuration...
The jump from using Win7 for 10 years and into Win10 has been very painful... ouch!! :|
Hoping for some info and advice, it will be highly appreciated!
 
Best regards and stay safe and healthy,
redorb

menu > sources > server settings > configure. Under [MISCELLANEOUS] heading you can set the indicated items as shown.

Code: [Select]
Image [Artist] Initial Fetch Number (1-20)=20
Image [Artist] Auto-Add New=1
Image [Artist] Cache Limit=

Note that a restart is required for any changes to take effect.

I checked and its all working OK. If there are still issues, reset server settings from the sources menu, then try above again.

You may need to use sources > Force Update  for any where you already have 5, as it only rechecks periodically.

You could also copy biography.ini from w7 installation if you have it & it has custom settings.

@MusicExtremist  Track data is available for lastfm but not AM

Thank you WilB!

Why didn't I think of that? I hade a backup of the biography.ini.
Copy paste and voilà, all is good! :D
Also had a backup of the "DarkOne v4.0 - Tedgo - Spider Monkey Panel - Biography Version - Modified by WilB.fcl
The one you helped me configure so its good to have backups, problem is to remember you have backups and where they are...
Hmm... could be I'm getting old.
Now if I only could get back the Aero theme for title bars...
Foobar2000 DarkOne now has a massive ugly title bar, I don't like the Win10 aesthetics at all!

Thanks and best regards,
redorb

@WilB is it possible to retrieve and write to tags the amount of listeners per artist from last.fm? I want to replicate the mainstream-o meter from the listening reports on lastfm in my foobar.

Hello

My problem is that he doesn't show me the artist's picture on the computer. It works fine on a laptop. I am using Winodows 10 in both cases.

Does anyone have an idea why he doesn't show me pictures with the artist, only the artist's description?

Could it be a matter of system settings?

Re: Biography Discussion

Reply #635 –
@jazzthieve  Yes it's possible

@mygen

1) Ensure you're using v1.1.3 & no earlier version as there were site changes.

2) Check: menu > sources > photo
Ensure it's set to: cycle from folder
If set to artist it only loads from the standard foobar2000 display artist pattern, which may well not be adequately configured.

3) Ensure the layout hasn't any old versions of Biography: one is auto-picked to do the downloading and so the presence of an old version can cause it to fail. The next version of Biography will address this.

4) Possibly downloading is switched off in server settings etc.
So I suggest resetting it. Original should be auto-backed up.
sources > server settings > reset to default

5) Try resetting panel properties:
menu > panel properties > clear !!!BACK UP PANEL PROPERTIES FIRST IF YOU MADE CHANGES YOU WANT TO KEEP!!!

6) Try a fresh portable install with just spider monkey panel & bio v1.1.3 loaded.

Does this mean in the current version 1.1.3 or in a possible future implementation? I haven't found any setting for this in the server settings.

Re: Biography Discussion

Reply #637 –
It would require implementing. Values obtained are in the abbreviated number format which are language specific, e.g.

Scrobbles 82.3M; Listeners 2.3M.

I'm not sure if that format is useful to you or not.

Hi, everybody. How do I add the tag recording function to a button? Unfortunately, the script cannot be displayed to the file menu and context menu that is required to create a button on the panel. How can I implement the function of writing to tags with last.FM? Which is currently available via shift + right mouse button? And also how to change the names of the tags themselves, you can register the discogs yourself, for example, so that there is a genre instead of discogs_genre

I can work with that. Basically I would just convert 2.3M into a full number then look up what the artist is with the top listener (I'm guessing The Beatles are the ones with the most listeners) and calculate a percentage on that with titleformatting.  Thinking a bit further I'd probably be doing some genre mainstream calculations in sql (I always channel all my data to an sqlite database). But I can't do anything without having the data (listeners) first.

THANK YOU SO MUCH @WilB ! I was really hoping for it. I can't wait to try it and see how it works :)

Hello WilB~ Thanks your Beautiful Bio script.

I have a problem.
I use the biography script as a cover panel.
Sources / Cover:/ Front option shows embedded front cover.
But Sources / Cover: / Cycle above option does not show embedded cover that only have one front cover file.
For example Hot100 chart music files has a embedded front cover.

Bio script.js and SMP is latest version.

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me what values I need to change to make the artist image smaller and thus give the text more space?

Thank you very much.

That's a bug I was aware of. It should be fixed in the next version.

Hi
Is it possible to save both artist biographies (AllMusic & LastFM) to the same folder but with a different file name. Also, the same for album reviews? If not, could you please consider this as a request for the next version.

Re: Biography Discussion

Reply #648 –
I'd already done that for the next version!
