Title: Feature Request: Alternate Google Image search for Cover Art album search
Post by: HiFiTubes on December 14, 2013, 12:08:32 pm: When no Cover Art is found for "Album" using Get From Internet....

Use the Artist or Album Artist (auto) field to do a Google Image search so we can choose to use an artist image (like Theater View Playing Now)

Useful for albums of live shows or many classical albums where it is hard to find cover art.

Also, the search could be "fuzzier" to ignore anything in parentheses (I avoid this but many files have extraneous info in album field - which I often remove).

A lot of my albums would be considered "specialized" (blues, folk, etc) and they are frequently not found by the usual cover art search. I'm not even talking about particularly obscure items - for instance titles on the Yazoo or Document label. These are frequently not found by the inbuilt search but I can always find them at Google Images. Certainly I can copy the image from Google images and then paste it but it would be nice to have the process simplified.

Post by: connersw on January 23, 2014, 06:00:59 pm: You could do this by setting up a managed link: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=83371.0

I use 6233638's code for Album Art anyway.

Code: [Select]
<Link version="1.2"> <Item Name="Name">Cover Art</Item> <Item Name="Action">1</Item> <Item Name="Base URL">https://www.google.com</Item> <Item Name="Search URL">https:////www.google.com//search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_q=Hexify([Album Artist (auto)] [Album])&safe=images&tbs=isz:lt,islt:2mp,iar:s,imgo:1&biw=1920&bih=984</Item> <Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Audio]</Item> </Link>
