Foo_uie_albumart, Very simple album art panel Options

[Supernaut]

Yeah... I unchecked the Album Art panel option to allow external control from Album List for example, and pretty much stopped getting crashes or enormous memory leaks.

I wish I could say the same.. I'd never even the unpacked the modified album list dll, plus the option you mentioned is disabled in the preferences.

[topdownjimmy]

Possible to get this plugin to use album art for the system tray icon? That'd be so sweet.

EDIT: Never mind this, I posted in the wrong thread.

But that would be sooo tiny I don't know if you'd even see what it showed.

Version 0.45 freezes my Foobar and even crashes. Reverting to an arlier version (dated Feb. 3rd) fixes the issue.

ok i need help here.

i have all my scans in folders called "[-=Scan(s)=-]" that are placed in each album's folder.
so its like:
c:/music/bandname/album1/[-=Scan(s)=-]
c:/music/bandname/album2/[-=Scan(s)=-]
etc, etc.



so what do i need to type for it to read them?

Is there a pattern to how these images are named? As of yet, you can't set up the uie_albumart panel to simply cycle through every image in a directory. If you know what the names of the files are (for instance, "front.jpg", "back.jpg", "cd.jpg", etc), then that IS possible, but if the files are randomly named, you're a little out of luck. You could set it up to simply show the first picture it finds with:

CODE

match:c:\music\%artist%\%album%\"[-=Scan(s)=-]"\*

(I might have the syntax wrong, I admit)

[Andrea]

I had to remove this plugin, it has a horrible leak: if I left Foobar open all night, the next day, foobar2000.exe is using over 200 megs of memory. I removed this plugin, and everything was fine again Too bad, because I really liked it...

[Storm]

Did you turn off the option for it to allow external control of the panel? That was the culprit I think, at least for me.

i have another question regarding the syntax. cant u just specify the path to be one directory deeper? because technically the scans are only one folder deeper than the mp3s anyways. well and my naming scheme of folders is a bit trickier than what i said so what u told me probably wouldnt work in my case.

In that case, try this:

CODE

match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"[-=Scan(s)=-]\"*

That's just the default code (which looks in the same folder as the file) with the scans folder added on the end, and it looks for any image in the folder (that is, it displays the first image it finds).

thanks for your help. one last question. how can i get it to display any file within that directory with the words "front" or "cover"?

CODE

match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"[-=Scan(s)=-]\"*cover*
match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"[-=Scan(s)=-]\"*front*

It's pretty simple, try to understand the syntax and you can do your own instead of asking us.

Insert them as separate items in your source list.

I'm not sure was it mentioned..
Would be great if this plugin would be capable of reading album art's from matroska file's attachments.. at least I believe many users prefer to have all in one file (like I do ) than keep all those separate..

and other thing..

wouldn't it be great if it would use somewhat of web engine (search google, amazon.. whatever.. or better use one of that decitated sites to find covers) and publish them right way.. so that they won't need to reside on a disk). Of course as an option (like when art wasn't found in folder or file) it would make this plugin usefull for those lazy to look independently for each cover on web.

[horizon]

It  would be nice if, by dragging and dropping an image on the albumart panel, the plugin could save it in the album's directory according to a pattern specified in the preferences (i.e. %artist% - %album%.jpg)

Sorry if this was already requested before. Thanks 

I think this would be great too!

Please, rexy, could you implement this?

[topdownjimmy]

I'm a sucker for standards, so I was wondering what formats people use to name their album art.

Right now I'm keeping all my album art in one folder with the filename Artist - Album (front/back/inside/cd).jpg. I do this so that if I'm playing a CD that I've burned, the album art will still be displayed.

But, is there any good reason to use underscores instead of spaces? Or something else I'm not considering? I know this is a really trivial detail, as long as I'm consistent in my own usage, but like I said, I prefer standardization, no matter how arbitrary.

Also, here are some strings for foo_openwith.dll that will search rateyourmusic.com for album art (a site with lots of rare and large album art):

To search by album title:

CODE

http://rateyourmusic.com/search?searchterm=$replace(%album%, ,+)&type=l

To search by artist:

CODE

http://rateyourmusic.com/search?searchterm=$replace(%artist%, ,+)&type=a

But what do you do for files whose artist names include characters that windows does not allow?

For example, AC/DC - AC/DC Live will not be valid and will be represented AC_DC - AC_DC Live

Generally in URL '/' u replace with '%2F'.

Sometimes I wonder why author of foobar didn't implement javascript or other wide known scripting language into software (instead of inventing TAGZ) ..like for example Adobe Photoshop does. It already has many useful functions.. and would give much more power to software.

is there a mirror for this?

For some reason today my albumart just floated out onto the playlist and I cant get it back to the panel, has anyone experienced this.... I swear I didnt do anything

[Bachi-Bouzouk]

just a little trick/tip I have found today

change the last line to :

CODE

-components\default$mod($rand(),10).png

and put 10 different images called:
default0.png
default1.png
default2.png
default3.png
default4.png
default5.png
default6.png
default7.png
default8.png
default9.png

in the components folder and the pictures for album/ songs without any cover will change between these 10 images instead of only one (it is a random function so there won't be any pattern).

moreover, when you will refresh the album art, it will restartthe script and it can change the image

albumart-formatting-info

I don't give too much on my own spend info, but at least I don't know why rexy doesn't copy & paste useful info to the first post - if you look carefully you'll recognize that everything has to be explained or commented 10-times - it's quite normal that people who are new to this still need those infos (reading all those pages is quite too heavy) but
it's unnecessary and a waste of time that everybody gets his own advisor...
that's the same with a lot of other topics

I use foo_ui_albumart.dll for my album images. I understand that the image has to be in the folder of the music in order to load. The problem is that I have 500x500 images on my folders but onlt about 200x194 pixels are being displayed. I have shrink images to fit screen disabled. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Edit: Problem solved

I use Helium Music Manager 2005 to organize my music. When you retrieve the album art from the Amazon plug-in. The image is saved in various sizes in the folder of where your music is for the program to display it when using Helium. The problem is that the Amazon images start B0000.... so the foo_ui_albumart.dll displays the first image in the folder so this images where oftenly the one that had small size (they show hidden in the explorer). Once I eliminated these Amazon images it finnally displayed my 500x500 image. I need to find a better program to tag my music.

Is there anyway to assign a keyboard shortcut for switching art sources and if not, could it be implemented into the next version?
