Cover Art Auto Updater
« on: November 21, 2004, 07:42:24 pm »

A picture Of A New Project For Media Center 11

if you play a song and it does not have coverart it will contact the spartasoft.com server and get it if it is avail it will download the cover art and place it in your cover art folder.

you can also push the batch button and it will just do all the media files in the "Playing Now" folder

I guess I should add folder.jpg for all the people who use it.

Maybe another week of tweeking it, but it seems to work well

Will it get only cover art for imported files ?

Because sometimes I pre-listen to songs that I don't want to import in my library

Hey King I am really interested in this, mainly because the current version just isn't working for me.  I read the thread about how it wasn't working with a clean install of MC11 so I went and downloaded the latest version from your site.  Basically It says that it has found cover art but it doesn't display an image in the side pane, and when i look for the art it is nowhere to be found.  Maybe it is an MC 11 issue, but your plugin is one of the most usefull out there so I am getting desperate.

thanks
Kain

those are issues we can work thru in email if you wish

Hi King,
I assume the batch will send all the cover art that I have that you don't to the server?

Also is there a way to specify sizes?

1. Yes

2.Yes,  You Can Select Largest And Smallest

basicly it calls for a dir of the files, then out of that it looks for the largest or smallest (depending on how you set it) this largest and smallest is based onfile size and not on XXX By XXXX.

Looks great, King. Thanks again for sharing with us your plug-ins.

One question: Will it save the art inside the file if that's the user's default option?

Thank you.

As long as that option is enabled in MC, then it will.

Fixed: A Problem Where the images were not showing up when a file was downloaded.

New: when you See the list of Cover Art (In manual mode), if you Double click on a picture in the list it will download that image file and then apply that to the Database\And MP3

So Now the program will auto select a image, but you have an option to change the cover art by dbl clicking on the list of images in the list.

Remember Uninstall Older Versions Of The Beta Plug-In

The Latest

This Way Users Can Clean Up Bogus Or Bad Cover Art On The Server

It Does Have A Prompt, "Are You Sure You Want To Delete This File?"
