theaudiodb entry not found, as a result music artist image not loaded - happyvoid - 2023-06-20
There is an album by the group ADHD in my music library. The artist is correctly identified and the MusicBrainz link goes to the correct artist. I would love for that artist to have an image. Since MusicBrainz does not provide that I checked and there is an image on theaudio.db: https://theaudiodb.com/artist/175844
Since I am not seeing an audiodb link I select Identify, enter the theaudiodb artist ID
175844 and press search. Search results show a blank page with no info at all. So my first question: should I file a feature request to show either an error (when search fails) or an info message (when no matching results are found)? Showing nothing is not informative and makes it hard to users to understand what is going on.2nd attempt I enter a name and theaudiodb ID and am presented with many search results. Brings up the next question, why do I have to enter the name, if the artist name already is know to Jellyfin? Would that be another feature request to file?
However, all search results are coming from MusicBrainz.
How can I connect this artist in Jellyfin to the audiodb artist entry, which would then allow to grab the artist image?

Interestingly, after using Identify, adding 175844 theaudiodb ID and name ADHD and selecting the first entry of the search results, now also the connection to theaudiodb was made and shows at the top of the artist entry.
Tried all three refresh metadata options, but artist image is never loaded. And edit images > pressing the spotlight icon also shows zero images.
So still unsure how to get the artist image to show up. I am aware I can manually add it, but that isn't the point. I am wondering if there is a problem with how Jellyfin queries theaudiodb for artist images.

Oh well... after waiting a few days, the image now shows up. Case closed.
