Linked was missing from MBZ. I added it and it should work now. You can easily add missing IMVDB links to MBZ yourself. That's required to make this script work.

You may need to wait some days for the update to be reflected.

You will see a full lists of artists missing the link in musicbrainz under /config/extended/logs/video/imvdb-link-missing. Feel free to add more.

Any error message. Issue could be that it doesn't match? If that's the issue, I have no clue how to solve it. This would require @RandomNinjaAtk to chime in.

Here are the video log.

Video-2025_05_26_11_17_AM.txt

Just did a file system look up, and the last time I had Videos downloaded was 2025-02-05
After that nothing has been downloaded.
Did IMVDB change something ?

I think at this time, the issue may be related from a Lidarr issue since few days : due to MusicBrainz change in its DB pattern.

see that post : Lidarr API "Internal Server Error" 500
#5498

I don't think so since Lidarr has issues with there metadata atm.
That means that you can't add artists to Lidarr.
That has nothing to do with this issue.

Video script not downloading videos was due to an error in the Video script which was fixed in PR #382
