Hi, I really enjoy the benefits of your arr-scripts, especially for Lidarr, I've been able to find way more than I thought possible, utilizing your scripts. One thing I can't seem to understand yet (still digging through your code) is how artists are chosen to be added? Though I haven't listened to any Country, Rap, Jazz, R&B, Soul, or hip-hop, ever. And none of those genres pop up on my import lists, so I've got to manually go through remove them after they've been added, which takes hours. Sure I can find an artist I don't want in Lidarr, and delete/blacklist them, but this involves constant upkeep, and can be quite tedious. I'm wondering if there's a way to black-list certain genres that I know, I will never listen to, and prevent artists within those genres from even being added in the first place? Also I can manually delete, and blacklist the artists manually, but I can't seem to find where this blacklist (not the failed download blocklist) is located, assuming it's in a SQL db somewhere, not accessible from the UI. So how can I prevent the scripts from downloading artists that don't exist anywhere on my import lists? TIA. edit: for a little more context, here's an excerpt from my addDeezerTopArtists="false" # true = enabled :: Enabling this will enable the extended script to automatically add artists that are on the Deezer Top Artist Chart to your existing Lidarr instance
addDeezerTopAlbumArtists="false" # true = enabled :: Enabling this will enable the extended script to automatically add artists that are on the Deezer Top Album Chart to your existing Lidarr instance
addDeezerTopTrackArtists="false" # true = enabled :: Enabling this will enable the extended script to automatically add artists that are on the Deezer Top Track Chart to your existing Lidarr instance
addRelatedArtists="false" # true = enabled :: WARNING !!! WARNING !!! Enabling this can cause an endless loop of additional artists.... Enabling this will enable the extended script to automatically add artists that are related to your existing Lidarr artists from Tidal & Deezer
addFeaturedVideoArtists="false" # true = enabled :: WARNING !!! WARNING !!! Enabling this can cause an endless loop of additional artists.... Enabling this will enable the extended Video script to automatically add Music Video Featured Artists to your existing Lidarr artists from IMVDBedit2: Even after upgrading to the latest, and restarting the container 2x, it's added 'Don Toliver' & 'Chris Brown' whom I've never listed to, don't want, and have no idea how they were chosen to be added. Now I've got to go and manually delete them. Why is this happening automatically? Please help me understand.. |

Artists are only added if enabled, and it looks like you don't have that enabled... So what is happening is not caused by the script, but somewhere else... If the script was doing it, you would see it in the script logs..... And you haven't posted any logs to show evidence of that... My guess is your Import lists are doing it without you realizing it.... |

That makes sense, thank you; is there any good way to dig into the lists to see which list would be adding the artists? So it appears that "070 Shake" was added via a list, do you know how I would figure out which list? There's 3 lists, all spotify linked. |

Solved my own problem, thanks for your help @RandomNinjaAtk. Obviously this was not an issue with your scripts, but a configuration with Lidarr itself. In case others fined this; I had a spotify import list for playlists, and selected playlists I liked and wanted added to Lidarr; these playlists are dynamic, and items get added/removed regularly, so syncing a dynamic playlist means syncing to all current and future states of that playlist. So when someone (not you) adds an item to a playlist that you don't manage, those artists get added to your Lidarr. Use with caution. |
