Works particially, here an example:
VGMdb#Search by &Album.src (5.4 KB)
Seems to be working fine for the majority of the stuff I threw at it, thank you.
There is one bug that needs fixing if possible. The catalog number scraping is picking up some junk due to poor placement of a link to show extra album credits in one the updates.


Its an easy fix, we just have to remove this, i think:
<a id="extralink" href="#" style="float:right">[Extra Credits]</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#extralink").click(function(e) {
$("tr.maincred").toggle();
$("tr.extracred").toggle();
$(this).text($("tr.maincred").is(":visible") ? "[Extra Credits]" : "[Main Credits]");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
But i cannot do it now, i will do it when this week ends.
Edit: or as a quick fix, you can add this line:
replace "[Extra Credits]<script type=\"text/javascript\">$(document).ready(function() { $(\"#extralink \").click(function(e) { $(\"tr.maincred\").toggle(); $(\"tr.extracred\").toggle(); $(this).text($(\"tr.maincred\").is(\":visible\") ? \"[Extra Credits]\" : \"[Main Credits]\"); e.preventDefault(); });});</script>" ""

else
regexpreplace "<a[^>]+>" ""
replace "</a>" ""

Romano - many thanks for your work updating this script for VGMdb - has the same update been made to the Search by URL version?
If not, could I please request this?
@M_Mirza try this
VGMdb#U&RL.src (4.9 KB)
That's perfect Romano, thank you once again
Just for information - there's been another update just today (https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?p=95419#post95419) that has once more rendered the script unusable.
This VGMdb Administrator/coder works hard.
@M_Mirza
Try this and let me know if there are any bugs.
Later i will make this source to get more data.
VGMdb#U&RL.src (4.9 KB)
VGMdb#Search by &Album.src (5.6 KB)
you can always find any changes in my repository.
edit: there is a bug, if there is songs in other language Japanese per example, it adds to the tracks. right now i cannot solve it, as i am new to scripting, but i will try.
They updated again the tracks:
VGMdb#Search by &Album.src (5.8 KB)
VGMdb#U&RL.src (5.0 KB)
bug: gets english and japanese tracks. If anyone can help
Great work. Much appreciated.
Does the Bug about japanese & english getting mixed still exist?
Could you make a version or post the changes to get the year as standard iso?
I would like to have year be: 2020.12.30 instead of just 2020, as I use it to rename the folders right away.
Its not a major bug, as the tracks are sequencial, just erase it or save.
Here it is the new date version:
VGMdb#Search by &Album.src (5.8 KB)

Hello.
Are there instructions on how to activate this file in the program ? I unzipped the files in Mp3tag \ data \ sources, but the base did not appear in the program.
- Drop the
VGMdb#Search by &Album.srcfile in yourappdata\roaming\mp3tag\data\sourcesfolder. - Select all tracks
Ctrl-a - Click the Web Sources drop down button, select
vgmdb > Search by Album
![]()
@Romano I'd like to propose a change to the script to make your life easier and potentially reduce errors.
The MP3tag Web Sources Framework syntax supports an [Include] key. This allows you to import source script code into others, reducing code duplication as well as being less prone to errors. I added this key to VGMdb#U&RL.src and VGMdb#Search by &Album.src, pointing to a new file, VGMdbAlbumParser.inc. This way, when maintenance is needed on the album parser in the future, you only need to change that one file.
I can't upload the files individually here because the format filter screens out .inc files, even though that's the same format the default Discogs.inc script uses. Regardless, here is a zip archive of them and I hope this does make things easier for you going forward:
