not finding cover art
« on: July 26, 2006, 07:45:48 pm »

I'm used to have pretty good luck with MC fetching cover art for me.
Lately...not so good.
Here's a couple samples that should have been found but it doesn't.

Artist:   Gym Class Heroes
Album:  The Papercut Chronicles

Artist:  Bleeding Through
Album: The Truth

spelled exactly like that and it matches exactly what amazon.com has.
no odd characters or anything.
amazon.com has cover art for the albums.

I tried it with both options under "Get From Internet" in MC:
 Standard and Loose.

Neither produced cover art for me.

Any ideas?

I added some music to a new computer and found similar poor results on finding art, even common artists such as Bruce Springsteen.

Odd.

Where exactly does the art come from, YADB?

Thanks King.  I got some of them from yours and others I just copy/pasted from amazon.com.   Just wanted to find out why MC didn't find it when it was obviously available on amazon.com

Hmmm..
Still having the same issue.  I selected 90 albums to get coverart from internet.  I even tried the loose search.
At the end, it hadn't download any new coverart   ?
Most of these are popular albums.

The IP address that the requests are coming from would be 68.106.43.250.

I ran it again with logging enabled, and all logging options checked.
Here's the results.  I don't see anything detailing the fetching of artwork.
MY LOG FILE HERE

Results the same in MC11 or MC12.

I'm thinking I may have a firewall issue, but doesn't this just use port 80?



King.  I've moved on to MC12,  will your coverart plugin be updated to work with the new version soon?

I'm still having zero luck with grabbing any cover art.
I selected the entire Kiss discography and did a "remove cover art" but didn't delete the files from hard drive.
I then selected every Kiss album and tried get from internet.
I chose Download (always) for the mode and both Standard and Loose for the tolerance setting.

Any troubleshooting advice?
