Unable to add artist to fanart database ?

Post by MrTinkertrain »

Hi there,

I noticed that the English singer Dave Berry (most famous for "This Strange Effect") currently still wasn't present in the fanart-database.
So I went over to musicbrainz.org to look up the musicbrainz id and manually add it to the fanart database.
But when I tried to do that, nothing seemed to happen (at least to me it didn't).
Is there a way for a mod or admin to fix that ? ;)
I'm using Firefox (if that's relevant information to be able to fix that issue)

In the same field I also have another question/remark :

Before this Dave Clark thingie I had a few other occasions in which the artist involved didn't have a spot in the fanart database at the time.
After adding the artist to the database, I noticed on one or two occasions that after adding the artist there were already one or more images available (artist thumbs I think it were)
Unfortunately I can't remember the names of the artists on which this phenomenon occurred.
But how would it even be possible that there are some images available for a certain artist if that artist only was added to the database merely seconds ago ?

OK Dave Berry refreshed in database (now has a name :) )
As for the second 'issue' - They were probably in the database, yet didnt have a title - same as the Dave Berry entry (so if you use global search for the name it doesn't appear) - when you added the mbid from musicbrainz you refreshed the entry (like what I just did although mods do it from the control panel) - So it reappears with the correct name. Users may have added the images simply by finding the artist using the mbid search function rather than the global search option.
Hope this makes sense :)

Refreshed but no change.
Apparently needs to be updated at Musicbrainz.

Thanks leepenny!
I haven't fiddled with Musicbrainz in a couple years and wasn't prepared to dive in yesterday. If I ever finish the art for my Movies and Tv, I have a huge music library to get to next.
ETA on finishing everything should be around 2022. :P
