get Image from the Internet
« on: September 15, 2008, 09:05:25 pm »

When attempting to get Cover Art from the internet, the function is actually searching my computer not the internet.

It works for me.

Maybe it is somehow starting the "Quick Find" tool instead of "Get From Internet" on your PC.

Did you use the top menu, the menu in Action Window > Tag > Image or the right-click menu in a file pane? Have you tried the other menu items? Do they all work? What skin and language do you use?

also, I'm curious, what behaviour suggests to you that it's searching your computer, not the internet?

"internet" in the case of cover art images actually means "a JRiver server"... do you use a modded hosts file?

You need to host the image on a web server.

For example: www.photobucket.com  (you can use it for free)



Here's the code for the above image:
