Get AllMusic Guide scraping working again on Openelec XBMC
(copied from my forum post for easier finding!)
You must first copy the addons from the read-only system section:
/usr/share/xbmc/addons/metadata.albums.allmusic.com
/usr/share/xbmc/addons/metadata.artists.allmusic.com
/usr/share/xbmc/addons/metadata.common.allmusic.com
..to
/storage/.xbmc/addons
..and THEN copy the file in this xbmc forum post:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116461&pid=995098#pid995098
to this folder:
/storage/.xbmc/addons/metadata.common.allmusic.com
(this will get xbmc to first use the local copies rather than the system level addons, and then you add the appropriate changed files).
I can confirm the above method works with Openelec nightlies and I am getting album reviews, artist info, pictures etc.
