Announce: FindArt plugin beta

[sander]

Can you put a block on the 2.06 so people running 7.3.x don't accidentally install it?

Thanks and thanks again for a great plugin!

I was recieving a Save Failed message; the following repaired the isseu for me:

"chmod -R o+w /storage/music"

thx for a great plugin and a nice support forum

Hi,

I have installed the findart plugin but get the error:

HTTP error downloading page - check Access key settings.

I have checked my Access Key ID and Secret Access Key and all looks ok.

I have successfully used this plugin previously but am now running version 7.6 of squeezeboxserver.

Would anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks

FindArt does not work with 7.6.

There were changes made to art handling in 7.6 which requires an update to FindArt plugin. I didn't want to do the update until 7.6 was close to release but now 7.6 includes its own automated art work retrieval so I think FindArt is not needed for 7.6

HA. That's funny.

I am trying to use the FindArt plugin because I cant get the 7.6 album art function to work!

Thanks.

It works OK for me.

Did you stop SBS and then did you add the use_sn_test: 1 in your server.prefs. Make sure there is at least one space between ":" and the "1". You should also clear the various caches. Then restart SBS.

You'll know if SBS is accessing test.mysb.com because you will be asked to enter mysqueezebox.com id as this is a different server to the normal mysqueezebox.com

Thanks. Yes I think it was the missing space that was causing 7.6 artwork function not to work.

Cheers!

Hi

I originally asked this 18 months ago but didn't get a response, so I thought I'd try again...

If possible, it would be nice if the user could specify a custom filename to save the artwork as, for each search.

I keep my albums in seperate folders and use folder.jpg for the artwork, but my singles are mostly all together in a folder called 'misc' and for each track I use %ARTIST - ALBUM for the title format.

If the server's 'Artwork' setting could be read and offered as an additional option, and if there could be a last option to manually enter the filename, this would be great since a user might want to save to file under a different name for all sorts of reasons.

All my artwork is in a folder called Artwork. I do not embed the artwork. The filenames are of the %ARTIST - ALBUM form. Being able to vary from the "FindArt-ALBUM-Artist-cover.jpg" form before saving would be helpful.

Still love the plugin..
Thanks

One other frustrating thing is the art file is saved as owner "couchdb" which
makes it read only. Have to chmod it before I can edit the file name. How can I have FindArt save the file with rw permissions.

server is on ubuntu 10.04
