A wiki page for the Artistinfo Plugin.

This plugin displays artist information, partly from within gmusicbrowser itself, partly retrieved from the internet.\nAfter activating this plugin you can either add it to your layout either by adding the widget <i>PluginArtistinfo</i> to your layout-file (usually stored in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts) or if by right-click adding it to your layouts context-tabs. E.g. in the <i>Lists, Library and Context</i> layout you can add the plugin-tab by right-clicking one of the existing lists (Playlist, Queue, Album, Lyrics etc.) and choosing <i>Open Context page > Artistinfo</i>.

The new widget/tab will display artist information from gmusicbrowser on top, meaning statistics (number of albums, songs and rating) and a picture if set. You can set the artist-picture by right-clicking the artist's statistical information and choosing either <i>Set Picture</i> for a locally saved picture or <i>Search for Picture</i> for finding one on the internet with the Picture finder plugin.

Below this section the plugin displays information retrieved from last.fm, the <b>biographical data</b>, the <b>upcoming events</b> and in a separate tab <b>weblinks</b> to search different webpages for the playing artist in your browser. The biographical information can be saved locally (settings below), the events will always be retrieved live as they are always subject to change.

This plugin has no additional dependencies.
