February 18, 20213 yr Author I see what you mean: I thought you were saying it wasn't bringing ANY data from specific artists. It is bringing data from everyone, except the description. The API itself does not provide the artist biography. I get that via scraping their page, for example. This is the Kiss page: Quote https://open.spotify.com/artist/51Blml2LZPmy7TTiAg47vQ/ And from here was coming their biography: Quote https://open.spotify.com/artist/51Blml2LZPmy7TTiAg47vQ/about Happens that they removed the /about page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07XSN3sPlIlB2L2XNcTwJw/about I can see the info is still there: but not in a page as it was before. I'll have to browse around and see where they placed that info. I should update it in upcoming days. ------------------------------------------ I don't see how I can grab it anymore. I requested to disable purchases on this resource until if it's fixed (if it is). Edited February 18, 20213 yr by Adriano Faria

February 23, 20213 yr @Adriano Faria I purchased this App by mistake. I meant to buy "Musicbox" by onlyme, not this player. I think I was just moving too fast. am I able to get a refund. I can give you admin control panel to show I deleted and removed the app.

That’s a change on the API. That’s all the information about an artist provided by the API: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#endpoint-get-an-artist There’s always a possibility to use another API to grab it but the challenge is to make sure both artists are the same in Spotify and in the other API, which isn’t easy because it will use a textual search, so honestly I don’t think it worths the job as it can bring data from someone else. Changes in the API are beyond the scope of the support and it’s not my fault. You will have to grab the biography elsewhere and paste there. The purchases are disabled because I didn’t add this notice in the file bit I will. Edited February 25, 20213 yr by Adriano Faria

Note added to the file descriptions and terms/conditions: NOTE: SPOTIFY DOES NOT PROVIDE ARTIST BIOGRAPHY IN THEIR API ENDPOINTS ANYMORE. YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THE BIOGRAPHY ELSEWHERE (Google, Wikipedia, official site, etc.) AND PASTE IT IN THE EDITOR. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS. NO REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED.
March 6, 20213 yr Is anyone using this to display podcasts or individual entries from spotify playlists as separate entries/episodes? Does it embed the player? Is there a demo?

March 8, 20213 yr I noticed that Scotland isn't on the drop down in the From section. Is there a way that I could add them? There's a few artists I want to add from that country. Thanks!
March 8, 20213 yr Author "From" section? Anyway, It uses \IPS\GeoLocation (countries are not added manually) and Scotland, alongside with others, are countries that makes part of the United Kingdom, thus UK shows up there. Not sure why Ireland shows up there.... 🤷♀️ EDIT: oh, Northern Ireland makes part of the UK and it doesn't show there. Quote Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland Edited March 8, 20213 yr by Adriano Faria

Ah ok so it's not something that we can manually edit. Thanks!

September 3, 20213 yr Hello Adriano. As you know, I already have your Books application installed. I also just added this one but the cohabitation causes a problem in the group settings. When I install the Music application, I only have the Music tab visible. The Book tab has disappeared. If I uninstall the Music application, the Book tab is visible again. I need to have both applications installed. Also, how can I have both tabs (Books & Music) coexist in the group settings?

I'm going to be AFK in a few minutes but still found some time to try it. It works fine to me. Both "group extensions" are totally independent from each other. They have to show up. Go to Support tab in your ACP and click in the Clear System Caches button and go to Groups again. I can't do much today. I'll be back on Wednesday. Leave the reply if it still doesn't work; I'll contact you when I get back.

September 4, 20213 yr Hello Adriano. In the form to be filled in to register a new artist, it doesn't seem possible to enter an earlier date than 1921 in the Formed In/Since field. How can I lower this value? Because this limit is a bit problematic for artists like Bach or Mozart 🙂 Another concern is that the "Photos" and "Playlists" tabs are empty of any data.

It won’t be surprising if they also removed this from the API. They already did with Biography.
