Title: KingSparta - Cover Art Finder crashes in latest MC11
Post by: helpme on April 14, 2005, 04:01:11 am
In build 236 (and a few previous ones I think) Cover Art Finder crashes MC 11 once a batch find has completed.

I've noticed this when adding new CD's to playing now, running a batch find and MC crashes out every time (after finding the covers)

Please let me know if there is any other information that might help.

Thanks,
Stephen

There are two cover art finders both work in different ways

i don't see that problem

Unless The Batch Is Running And You Click Out Side The Plug-In

Then MC will Crash

I really don't think this is the fault of the plug-in i think it is more the fault of Media Center.

I just ran Cover Art Finder 2.0 and had no problem. I went to the website to make sure I had the latest version of that and Update Cover Art but could not find the latter. Hence there are no Previous/Next buttons, etc. Is there only one version now connecting to your new cover website?

I just finished updating my >@12,000 files and all have covers except @10 albums. I was hoping to try to get those from your website and upload my finds.

it has not been updated

a few people had problems with it with dial up and it would lock up MC (sort of)

so i took it off the web page

King,
I ran your Cover Art Finder 2.0 last night on my almost 13,000 files. I have cover art on every one and checked the box that said don't get cover art if it's already there. I was hoping to be able to supply some cover art for your server. I was surprised to see that after running, none had been submitted. I find it hard to believe that not even one cover was submitted. Did I do something wrong or do you really have that many covers now?

OK, I'll wait until I see an update to the plug-in, then try again.

Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting the KingSparta plugin to work properly. I have it installed on Media Center 11.0.309.

When I put all my tracks into the Now Playing list and hit Auto Batch, it appears to analyse my tracks and maybe query the KingSparta server, but no images are actually downloaded to my cover art folder or anywhere else as far as I can see.

The Cover Art thumbnail remains with the "Cover Art Not Available" default and there is nothing listed in Could Not Find nor in Events List.

Any help would be appreciated as in general people seem to have great success with it!

THANKS

ED

what is the name of the plug-in, i have two coverart finder type programs.

what version is it?

see if turning off the firewall helps

Clear The Could Not Find List

uncheck "don't get cover art if you already have art"

thats about all i can think of...

Unchecking the "don't get cover art if you already have art" box did the trick!

Many thanks!!!!
