0.0.92 adds

Added: Get Minimum And Maximum File Size For Cover Art

Fixed: Sometimes The List Of Art Would Not Update As Fast As It Should And The Plug-In Thought The List Was Empty. So I Added A DoEvents, and the list now updates fine.

this was only a problem when using Loose And Looser

0.0.94

Added: Search For Art On SlothRadio

You Have a Option In the Program To Pull Up A Browser Window To Send A Parm To SlothRadio (Who Uses Amazon.com, Amazon.uk, Amazon.de) For Art.

You Can Set The Country In The Plug-In

You Can Pull This Up In The Plug-In Browser Or A External Browser

Extened The Expire Date

Added A New Web Site to www.spartasoft.com

It Has over 1,000 Images of Vintage radios on it from the 1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's And 60's

My provider has also been having problems.

Got it, thanks!

OK, I ran it yesterday against my files yesterday. I tried doing things at the same time and perhaps I should have just left the computer alone because it hung a few times. I finally made it all the way through all my files. Not sure exactly how to reproduce the problem though.

I probably missed something along the way but it would be nice if there was an interactive mode. In the Cover Art Found box, there can be multiple numbers and it would be nice to be able to select which cover art I wanted to select.

I manually added a bunch of cover art that it couldn't find and am running it right now hopefully sending it to your server. Hope I could help contribute to the collection.

you can

double click on a file in the file list

or click view images, it will pull up a page with all the images on it

at that point you can drag the image to the drop box

there is no way to do this in batch since the point in a batch is not to be asked questions.

I would like to test out your program (all your other ones are very good)

10,000 songs

60% Have Covers

Thanks!

Sometimes throughout the batch running I get the messages "Error Sending Covert Art File: ...".  I have to start the batch process all over starting at the point where it started getting the error messages. It's probably tough to pinpoint the problem but do you think it's the Internet, your server, etc.?

I have to start the batch process all over starting at the point where it started getting the error messages.

maybe it also depends on

1. what version of the program your using

2. you can also remove media in playing now up to that point, and then it would not run thru them again.

also that message was in there on the first few builds but is no longer there, so not quite clear what message you would be getting if your running the current version.

I'm running .94. The message "Error Sending Covert Art File: ..." appears in the Sub/Rec Status tab.

I could have sworn I posted a message in response to King's interactive reply but don't see it, so I'll try again. When viewing in the plug-in the different covers found for a particular song, I couldn't find a way to page down or whatever to get to the next song in the playing list if I didn't want to do the auto batch at that time. That would allow seeing if there was a more appropriate cover. The only way I can see to do this is to go back to Playing Now, delete the first song, and then go back to the plug-in. Is there any way to go to the next song while in the plug-in?

play the song, click on the ">>" arrow in MC

I can add something for "Next"

if you continue to get this error with all filesthen maybe a firewall problem.

if it is just a file here and there. the plug-in tries 2 times to upload or download the data, if it can't then a error message will be placed in the list and it moves on.

0.0.98

added: auto view art on the internal browser, when a user is playing Music.

as the music is playing you can review the art found

Added: Current Cover Art Added If Exists To Html, it is first in the list boxed and "Current Art: xxxxxx" highlighted in blue

allows you to compare current and found cover art at orginal size

Added: 3 Modes Now

Play, Batch, And Manual ("Back" & "Next")

[KingSparta]

0.0.99

Adds: The Plug-in now will resize as the user changes the size of Media Center

this allows the user to see more of the cover art in the browser window if the users screen size allows for the larger screen size.

a screen size of 1024x768 or higher is recomended for this plug-in

I Really Think This Is Kind Of Cool, when the music is playing it will seek out of list of cover art, then allow the browser to display it, per your size settings also (if you have them set).

you can then select at will the art and drag it to the drop box if you don't like the current art.

the width of the plug-in will stay the same but is set to show off full 500x500 covers

[KingSparta]

are we done yet?

anything to add?

I want to thank all of you who have played with the plug-in and some of the nice comments i have received has been touching.

King,

good work on the whole plugin! 

One more thing. I still noticed that I have lots of wrong cover art. It's not clear where they all came from, so I deleted them all and deleted the whole cover art folder in MC as well.
Unfortunately it the Cover Art Finder just gets back the bad cover art. Even if I removed it  using the Remove Art buttong in the cover art finder.

So one thing that would be cool is a feature that allows you to prevent loading the same cover art again if you once removed it. Would that be possible? Somehow you would need to remember the size and name of the cover art and then not download that one anymore if it's been removed once.

This would also help cleaning up the DB also, since people can clean it up and tell which cover is really wrong.

Thanks
Dom

They Come From Users Like Your Self With The Wrong Coverart, You Have Access As A User To Delete Bad Covers.

Unfortunately it the Cover Art Finder just gets back the bad cover art. Even if I removed it  using the Remove Art buttong in the cover art finder.

You May Need To Click On The Button "Album" (Then Delete The Wrong Cover), Then Remove Your Wrong Cover. If You Do Not It Will Get Uploaded Again. Also if You Have (Loose Or Looser) Slected This Cover Ac Exist In The Title And Artist Folder Also. So If It Is Not Even The Correct Artist You Must Delete It From All 3 Folders. But If It May Be Found On The Album Shown But It Might Not Be The Same One You Have. So You Should Just Not Delete Covers Because Thats Not What You Have (Unless It Is Not The Correct Artist).

It Works, I Have Done It.

Like I Said If It Is The Wrong Artist Delete It From All 3 Folders, And Delete Your Art.

Are You Using Folder.jpg? I Don't Delete That, Maybe I Should.

So one thing that would be cool is a feature that allows you to prevent loading the same cover art again if you once removed it. Would that be possible? Somehow you would need to remember the size and name of the cover art and then not download that one anymore if it's been removed once.

It Could Be If It Was Stored In A MC Field In The Media File, I Will Think About It, But If It Was Delete Correctly You Would Not Have This Problem.
