maybe a newbie question: is there an alternative to last.fm (commercial or "free")?
how collects e.g. xbmc/kodi metadata for music files?
Plex calls it an agent. This agent finds the meta data for you.
There are others, like MusicBrainz, you will have to manually add it to your Plex installation.
Look at this: https://github.com/plexinc-agents for more agents.

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of response here, it seems like there’s an issue with the proxy for some folks (but not everyone). Thanks for reporting, we’ll investigate.

hmmm ... it shows up in plex server and i used it for my music library (plex music scanner / music brainz).
unfortunately it does not add any information to the library during the scan
still all empty ...
[SPOILER]
While Plex are fixing their server, pointing the Last.fm plugin to the "official" Last.fm server (http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/) will fix the issue. This can be done by editing the BASE_URL value in the agent's __init__.py:
(.../LastFM.bundle/Contents/Code/__init__.py) @ line 7:
BASE_URL = 'http://lastfm-z.plexapp.com/2.0/' ==> BASE_URL = 'http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/'
[/SPOILER]
EDIT: Official Plex server works now, no need to change anything
now it works again - using the standard entries (plex music scanner / last.fm)
great!
any changes "in the background"???

The Plex LastFM proxy server caused a problem, this has been fixed.
The Plex server now works for me too. Thanks!
Works for me, too again. Thank you very much!
Great! Thank you very much!
I'm still having this issue - updated to latest Plex server version, still no album covers for anything, when I click fix incorrect match, it says "No matches were found using this agent"
I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster for the past 2 days. (starting 27 January 2015). Is the proxy issue re-occuring or should I consider other possible reasons such as too large database (got 41 000 mp3 songs to scan) being the reason artist information is not scrapped?
