"C:\Program\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)00-$lower(%directoryname%)-front.jpg" /autoclose

is the current command-line i use with "Run services"-plugin, it only shows a local source image if its a perfect match, how could i change the command-line to show all images in the albums directory?

-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*.jpg" would show all the .jpg images in the same folder as the currently playing file, I think. Of course you would then lose the automatic naming scheme that you've set up for saving to, so it probably isn't worth it.

I think the problem here is that you want to use this app to organise your existing files into a better structure, and that's not really what it was designed for. For the next version, I'll look into adding another setting so that you can define a pattern to search for local files independently of the pattern used to save files to, that will probably do what you need.

ok sounds good!
The earlier versions(pre XUI) did what i needed without any problems at all.

I have folder images for alot of albums (i have _alot_ of albums) but most of the folder-images does not follow any strict pattern.

Will wait for next version

This might not be the place for it, but I've been looking for awhile now, and I can't find a good resource for how to implement Album Art Downloader. I would like to have a button in panels UI that gets the album art with the app.

The problem I am having is with how to implement it in run services, maybe i should be posting this in that thread

I dont know, i need help--psychological too.

If you know of such a resource, please let me know.

Below you will find my foo_run command string for album art downloader, is this what you wanted?
"C:\Program Files\foobar2000\utilities\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg"

Thank you. That was exactly what I needed. Originally I thought that I would have to put the tags in the button command of panels UI, phew. It's working like a charm now

This works beautifully! Thank you so much

Is it possible to make the file hidden after downloading it? All of my folder.jpg are hidden, so I wanted to keep that trend, but if it's not possible then it's okay.

Hmm I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was when you right click on a file, and then go to properties, you can check the "hidden" box so it's not shown. Currently all my folder.jpg files are like that. I had to manually make the files "hidden" which is a bit of a pain. I was wondering if I could have Album Art Downloader make the setting automatically.

Hi Alex, first thanks for your great work.

Now i have a problem, a while ago i asked you about proxy settings. The solution you gave cant work for me as my proxy requires authentification. So my question is could you add proxy authentification as settings like it is done in foo_audioscrobbler?

I don't know foo_audioscrobbler, but if your proxy needs authentication you could try adding "useDefaultCredentials = true" to the proxy settings:

CODE

<system.net>
  <defaultProxy>
    <proxy proxyaddress="your proxy address" useDefaultCredentials="true"/>
  </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

Doesnt work, i checked my iexplore settings and "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" is checked in IE settigns.From what i have seen on the web it is due to the fact that my proxy uses login and password. Thats why i would love to see proxy login settings

I am using vista with version 0.6 alpha 2

This happens when i search through browsing, not if i just fill in the artist name and add a task.
It seems to have something to do with the path of the folder that it wants to save to.
Screen where images should shown stay empty.

If i do a sesarch just through the task, images do show but in very small tumbnail size and when i change that nothing seems to happen at all regarding the size of the images.

Not sure if this was already known, though I hope this may help you for further issues.

EDIT: found some info on the first page of this topic. Now try to find out how this works in combination with foobar.

AlbumArt Downloader XUI v0.4 Preview Released

OK, so it still doesn't have the browser functionality, but from the feedback I received about the local files search, I had to do something to improve that first. Fingers crossed for browser functionality in the next release, though!

This release has the following changes made to it:

Local Files Source now has the ability to specify a different path to search from the path to save images as. This can be set either in the local files source settings (click the ... in the source), or by using the new "/localImagesPath" command line parameter. It accepts %artist% and %album% placeholders, and wildcards. A special wildcard of "**" can be used to indicate that any number of sub-folders could appear at that location in the path.

For example:
"\Art\Unsorted\**\*.jpg" will match:
\Art\Unsorted\image.jpg
\Art\Unsorted\misc\image.jpg
\Art\Unsorted\misc\old\image.jpg

"\Art\Unsorted\*\*.jpg" will match only:
\Art\Unsorted\misc\image.jpg
Experimental authenticating proxy support.
I don't have access to an authenticating proxy, so can't test this stuff, but theoretically if you download Proxy Configuration - AlbumArt.exe.config, put it next to the AlbumArt.exe file, rename it to just AlbumArt.exe.config, then open it in a text editor and replace the values (indicated with ***) with your settings, it just might work.

what is the exact difference between AAD and AAD XUI?

(please give me an easy explanation as i don't understand all the talk about codes and such)

AAD is a continuation of the original CoverDownloader application, with some bug fixes and some additional features added in. The development of it has been taken over by Marc Landis, and I have also contributed some towards it. Marc is busy with other personal matters at the moment, so there has been no development work on this for a while.

Out of the twin desires of continual frustration with working with the CoverDownloader code, and a desire to do something cool using WPF (makes pretty UIs, basically), I decided to re-write AAD from the ground up. This project I called XUI (experimental user interface). At the moment it is just me working on it, though I am hoping Marc might join in when (if?) he has more time. Of course others are welcome too, this is an open source project.

I am hoping it will replace the main AAD branch in time, but for the moment it lacks some of the functionality that the main branch has, most notably the browsers and queuing. I don't want to be pushing anyone into taking a step backwards if they rely on these features, so for the moment I'm offering this XUI project as a Preview Release.

So, in summary:

AAD XUI: Newer, prettier, hopefully nicer to use, some new features, command-line compatibility with CoverDownloader (works with REACT2)
AAD: File and Foobar Browsers, Queuing, less resource-intensive

Hope this helps!

QUOTE(AlexVallat @ Apr 9 2007, 11:10)

You probably want a file extension on the filename too. You could use Artist - Album.jpg, but in case the found art isn't a jpeg, you can use %extension% to automatically use the right one. This leaves us with:

-ar "Artist" -al "Album" -p "C:\AlbumArt\%artist% - %album%.%extension%"

Thank you very much for your work.

I tried the above suggestion but it doesn't seem to work here (or simply I don't understand how is it supposed to work): I get a question mark in the Save images to filed and when I try to save I get the error Illegal characters in path.

What am I missing?

Alessandro

[Edit]Forgot to mention this is with the XUI version.

[Edit2]Never mind, got it: should be '%extension%' (with single quotes) in foo_run.

Gah, my mistake, I'd screwed something up in the build of 0.4, sorry. I've uploaded 0.4.1 (same location, just redownload) which should get the /localImagesPath working again.

Apart from that, if you want to search for jpgs in the same folder as the currently playing mp3, you should use /localImagesPath "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*.jpg" rather than just "*.jpg" so that it searches in that folder.

0.6 alpha 2 is the official latest release. I've been working on a potential rewrite which I've named XUI. Previews of that have been made available, up to version 0.4. Sorry it is confusing, perhaps this post makes things clearer?

Alex now what`s the advantages Or Disadvantages In other words which one it`s better the .6 Alpha or the V 0.4 ? see now i did try the .6 alpha but for some reason i could not get it goin` `cause of the command line , well see when i open with the run services in foobar it opens and all that but it wont retrieve no covers for some strange reason , i think its the command line i try different combinations no results .

That would depend, really. If you are wanting to use file or foobar browsing, then 0.6 alpha is your only choice. Otherwise, I'd probably recommend XUI 0.4, at least to try it out. As I said before, this post explains the differences.

If you can be more specific about what the command line you use is, and what exactly is going wrong, I can try and help. Does a search actually get performed? Does it say 0 results for every source? Which sources are searched? Does searching for covers without using the command line, just typing in the artist name and album work?

Looks to me like it can't find the path "l:\music\be bop deluxe 1974 - axe victim\" on your system... this may be a silly question, but does that path actually exist? If so, check it doesn't have any screwy permissions set on it which might prevent Album Art Downloader from being able to use it.

I noticed this problem in 0.6a2 as well. If you remove the cover.jpg part it will open without error and search fine, but double clicking it seems to just save it in the foobar2000 folder (It saved it as folder.jpg as I was using the -f "folder.jpg" switch. It shoud also be noted that I made sure the -p switch was the last one in the command) Clicking the Save As button up top saves it in the correct folder, but saves it as a file "Save As" with no file extention. You have to right click and save as if you want to save the album art in the right folder. This problem doesn't exist in 0.6a1.

Here's the foo_run command I'm using which works in alpha 1 but not alpha 2:

"C:\Program Files\foobar2000\albumart\AlbumArt.exe" -ae -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg"

Another thing to note is that using this command in alpha one gave the full path to where it would be saved to in the Output > Save To box, including folder.jpg. When using the following in alpha 1 and 2 (as the first command doesn't work in alpha 2):

"C:\Program Files\foobar2000\albumart\AlbumArt.exe" -ae -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -f "folder.jpg" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"

The Output > Save To box contains the directory path where it should be saved, but not the filename. In alpha 1, attempting to double click to save gives an error box stating that (for example) "Access to the path 'E:\Untagged\Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns' is denied.", whereas in alpha 2, as I mentioned earlier, it'd just save to the foobar2000 folder.

Am I doing something terribly wrong with the foo_run command in the second case?

for yours

CODE

C:\Program Files\foobar2000\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)cover.jpg

i think you should edit it to this

CODE

"C:\Program Files\foobar2000\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"

you need to use the quotes properly and also the cover.jpg is whats messing you up i think

Here's the crashlog:

Thanks for the bug report. It appears this is because both instances are trying to save out their settings at the same time to the same file. Eventually I will have code in place to prevent more than one instance being open at a time, at which point this bug will disappear. Until then, I'd recommend waiting a second or so after closing one instance before closing another. Or just ignoring it; it will be harmless if the settings aren't saved - after all, only one instances settings can actually be saved anyway.

Could anyone add support for freecovers.net ? Sometimes, it has covers that coverparadies doesn't have.

Yep!, this sounds like a very good idea. I'm waiting for that option, because I launch Alb.Art.DLer from a foobar's "run service", and then I always need to close first instance when want to make another search after first one. (And that, only because I'm quite lazy

to type the new path to save new images when folders are different

). So thanks in advance for that, and double thanks with delay for continuing this very useful soft. If that right that first version of XUI was very greedy in CPU usage, you made a lot of progress since new versions.

freecovers.boo (for XUI version). If you need me to knobble up a backwards compatible version, let me know.

I chose not to pre-determine image size, as that involves downloading and parsing a second html page, which is not necessary for just downloading thumbnails and full size images.

Hi there, looks like a great program, thanks, but is there anyway to run it without needing .NET 2.0? Or maybe an equivelent program that doesn't require it?

Thanks

Hey Alex

I wanted to let you know that I upgraded to Album Art Downloader XUI (0.4.1.0) from 0.3 and it's no longer robbing my system of all of its resources. The only thing is it it still listing the available cover sites twice, so it's double checking.

I can not select ALL because of this. Not a big problem though.

Cheers!

No. I believe Album Art Aggregator only requires .net 1.1, if that's any help. Chances are you're going to have to bite the bullet and stick .net 2.0 (and 3.0) on your machine sooner or later though, so why not now?

Thanks, I'm glad it is performing better now. If you are getting the sources listed twice, then try clearing out any .dll files out of the scripts folder (should be "boo script cache.dll", and it sounds like you may have another copy with a different name too). Run the app again, and it should recompile the .boo scripts, hopefully making them appear only once!
