0.0.102

Added: Delete Current Cover Art From The MC DB And File
Added: Change Folders From Cover Art Browser tab
Added: Plug-in Is As Wide As MC is better for viewing larger than 500x500 pictures on the internal browser.

[KingSparta]

0.0.104

New: In Manual Mode If You Have "Auto Advance" Turned on And You Drag And Drop An Image On The Current File, The Plug-in Will Advance To The Next Media File. This Makes For Faster Manual Editing.

New: Added Current File # To The HTML

Also Sometimes The Images Will Not Display On The Html, If You Had A Problem With That It May Work A Tad Better. I Am Giving The Page More Time To be Created

[Baekdahl]

When is are you releasing the beta for testing?

Would sure like to test it..


Regards

Baekdahl

It is avail on my web site

[KingSparta]

0.0.107

added: Auto Search slothradio.com for art

So if my Server can not find images (not in batch mode) the plug-in will now pull up and search for that art on slothradio.com

at that point you can drag and drip the image that is best for your media

you can turn this on or off

Removed Pull Up Art In External Browser Since The Program Supports A Full Screen Browser In The Plug-in Depending On Your Screen Size

[KingSparta]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for an excellent plugin.

Just one question.

I’m storing my cover art as folder.jpg in the album directory and have the option in your plugin to “get cover art even if I have art” un-selected.

If I have a whole album in playing now and run the update cover art batch it still seems to go through each file and download the art from the web.

Is there a way of stopping this so that if the album directory already has a folder.jpg (downloaded for the 1st track), each subsequent track will have it’s tag info changed but the artwork not actually downloaded again?  This would speed up the process of updating a lot.

Keep up the GREAT work.

Version 0.0.109

Try The Current Version
 
You Should See A New Check Box
 
[X] get cover art even if I have art "[X] Always"
 
What Always Does Is "0" Out Your File Size So Anything Found Would Be Bigger
 
Now The Plug-In Leaves Your Current Art Size In A Variable So Only Art Would Be Downloaded If Found Art Was Bigger Than Your Current File Size.
 
So It Should Not Download It Since It Is Not More Than.
 
Let Me Know If It Works, I Did Not Test It But It Should Work.

0.0.111

Added: [X] If Folder.jpg Exists Use It's Size To Compare
Added: [X] If Folder.jpg Exists Do Not Download Art
Fixed: Folder.jpg path was not being saved to database\MediaFile if it was selected, but was being copied.

So how do I register this, because auto batch is greyed out.

The option "If no images found, search on Slothradio.com" doesn't do anything for me, how do I use/check this ?

It does not require one, that was removed

there is a option to turn this off and on on the setup page

The option "If no images found, search on Slothradio.com" doesn't do anything for me, how do I use/check this ?

Must be used in manual mode it will bring up a page (or should) on the last tab so you can drag and drop images from slothradio.com. There is a bug in that where the browser window does not show up (That I May Have Just Corrected)

If you turn on auto view, it will click the tab for you.

make sure you have the latest version 0.0.112 is current

[KingSparta]

Bingo!

Thanks Mark, just what I needed.

Many thanks

Richard

well I guess the latest works better with "folder.jpg"

I also extended the expire date

[woodstock_hh]

make sure you have the latest version 0.0.112 is current

Hey, c'mon... you're special enough just the way you are. And a great programer, btw! There's really no need to bump up version-numbers in forum-style "press-releases" without having anything to give to the public...

?
          :-)

just kiddin'. might be that 0.0.112 is the most recent release (I'm sure, if you say so...), but what's through the wires and over the big pond definitly claims to be a 0.0.111 - during setup and from within MC as well. Got it from http://www2.spartasoft.com:8080/FTP/My%20Programs/UpDate%20Cover%20Art.exe

my mistake?

Looks like if "Smallest" is checked, it will not automatic download cover art, if "Largest" is checked, all is working fine.

Some Project Code Was Optimized

Maybe 100 Lines Or So

Dead Subs, Unused Vars, Unused Controls & Objects Removed

[KingSparta]

0.0.118

Changed: The Delete Function Now Asks You If It Is The Correct Artist, Wong Album Questions.

If it is the wrong Artist Then The Album Will Be Deleted From All 3 Folders, Then Ask If You Want To Delete Your Current Art.

Let Me Know If You See Any Problems

Note:

Just Because It Don't Look Like The Art On Your Disk Does Not Mean That This Song Was Not Released On Other Albums That May Be Form This Artist And Also "Top Hits" Type Cds. But If It Is The Wrong Artist Then Feel Free To Delete It.

The Control Is In The Users Hands To Maintain The Art In A Orderly Way.

All Art Correct Or Not Has Been Submited By A User, If It Is Wrong Flog Them Not Me.

0.0.120 is A tad faster because i took out a sub that figured largest and smallest.

the Largest and smallest  cover art is now figured when the list of files is received and not done as a seprate sub.

I also fixed a bug that was in the sub when i moved the code getting a size

size = val(string)

Removed A Few If Than Statements

I still have the flu, so i am taking a few days off from work

dang it is cold here, wind chill at "0" this morning, it even snowed i seen a flake or two

0.0.121

Added: Drag And Drop Delete From The Cover Art Page.

So if something should not be on the list (ie wrong artist) you can just drag it to the trash can and it will delete it from the server.

Added: when your mouse is over the cover art list not only will it tell you that you must double click, but it tells you how many covers are in the list.

If you hover over your cover art it now tells you the file name as it will show on the cover art list.

There is Currently 56 Covers For AC\DC, And 66 for Alice Cooper

It says it has completed within a nanosecond

that's dam quick

maybe if you turn off your firewall you will get better results

with the limited information you have given it would be hard to find out what could be the problem.

Cover art plugin isnt working for me either. It locks up MC whenever it tries to find the cover art and I have to end task media center.
It was all i could do to "stop plugin" and then uninstall  before the start page loaded in MC every time i loaded it otherwise MC would freeze as soon as the start page had loaded.

I'm still using MC 11.0.105 though, and i figure at a longshot, that coud be a reason why.

No Thats Not Why, But You Should Upgrade.

The Plugin Seems To Work Fine For Most Users, Only 2 That I Know Of Have Problems.

[KingSparta]

By the Way

I did not test this program with a dial up connection

If You Have Dial Up connection Make Sure You Are Logged On The Internet before you load up MC with this plug-in installed.

If that is the problem let me know i might be able to do something about it.
