Playing Now Plug In with MC11.1.79
« on: December 13, 2005, 01:18:30 pm »

Is anybody having any problems with this? All of my tracks are showing no cover art in the PN plugin.

I can see it propperly in MC, All my images are inside the file.

11.1.80 is the same.

I have some inside file and 95% external art (central directory, no folder.jpg's)

pn is not getting any of it.

wonder if it's anything to do with this from the .78 build release notes....

11.1.78 (12/10/05)

1. NEW: New thumbnail storage and loading engine that is often 100 or more times faster. (ex. loading 100,000 thumbs after reboot took over 2 minutes before, now takes less than a second) (also uses less memory than before with no change in thumbnail quality).  Requires one-time rebuild of thumbnails.

I notice that the thumbnails are now in their own .jmd file, inside a \normal (v3)\ directory.

It's a MC issue since PN hasn't changed.

They must have either a) broken something or b) changed how the GetImageFile function works without maintaining backwards compatability.

Either way you should post something in the main MC alpha/beta thread.

Hey Rhino,

We switched the thumbnail storage format so that thumbs aren't discrete files. (so we can't provide a thumb filename)

One solution is to make temporary files on thumbnail requests that are copies of the new thumbs.  I'm not sure who would have the job of cleanup in this case.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Matt

Hi Matt,

I think preserving backwards compatability is important so your suggestion about creating temp files is probably the best solution.   Then when MC closes it deletes the files it has fed a plugin.

Then maybe as an idea for the future provide a GetImageStream that fills an IStream.

Thanks Rhino.

We added a backwards compatibility layer to tonight's build.  It handles any cleanup on shutdown.

Sorry for the hassle.
