[FEATURE] - LIDARR - A way to prevent endless loop of adding related artists.

[lightsout]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Endless loop of adding more artists when add related artists is turned on.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to somehow prevent this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe a setting to control how many "tiers" away from the original artist it will add. Something like "add related artist to existing artists only."

Additional context
n/a

What you’re looking for, I don’t think would be easily possible. The setting warns you that it will cause a loop.

It does only add artists via highest ratings by fan count first, so limiting to only 3 artists should only get you the top 3 rated similar artists…

You’re probably better off disabling it.

I like the feature, filling up a folder with a bunch of stuff related to what I like, but some more granular control may be helpful. I am still figuring out this script but it seems best to run in for a few hours and then start over with some different genre with a few bands. If you let it loose on a large library it gets crazy quick.

Just FYI: I have an idea on how to resolve/improve this, but I'm not sure when I'll get to implementing it.

Thank you, would be neat to have some limitation.
