MediaCenter compatiblity
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:37:04 UTC
I just spoke with two of your colleagues Andrew and Sean about a particular problem and Sean suggested you might be able to add a particular capability to the SliMP3 to make it�a little more compatible with Media Center by J.River. (Used to be called Media Jukebox) � http://www.musicex.com/mediacenter/ � So far the system we installed for Mothers Bar & Bistro in Downtown Portland is running great, however one of the abilities of the SliMP3 software to display the album cove art is causing us some difficulty because of the way that Media Center stores it... � Basically all of the album cover artwork for Media Center is stored in one central folder.� The files are each named as %ARTIST% - %ALBUM%.jpg in a specified folder.� � I can't find anywhere in the SliMP3 software software to allow this type of cover art storage.� � Would it be possible to add an option to allow the SliMP3 server software to look in a named folder for it's cover art in the above format? � Best Regards, � Martin Bass � � � Martin Bass � Founder & Chief Technical Officer � Web:� www.cfreaks.com �
Created attachment 3 [details] allows infoFormat type formatting for cover filenames Prefix the covert art filename with % and use the same variables as the Title Format strings. Valid variables: CT (content type), TITLE, GENRE, TRACKNUM (tracknumber as an int), FS (file size), ARTIST, ALBUM, COMMENT, YEAR, SECS (total seconds), DURATION (minutes and seconds), VBR_SCALE (vbr/cbr), BITRATE, TAGSIZE, VOLUME (volume name), PATH, FILE, EXT (file extension), LONGDATE (current date, long), SHORTDATE (current date, short), CURRTIME(current time). Elements can be separated by anything (or nothing). Need strings changed to explain this. No central folder support yet.
I'll create a coverpath option to finish this off. its simple enough, and can be handled just like the playlist path, with the same security.
Can this bug be closed? Has the work been done?
The original request seemed to want all artwork stored in one location. I have been pondering something like an artworkdir setting, but haven't sorted out just how to work it out.
Committed April 4, 2004. This feature now allows the setup of a central location for artwork. Artwork in the same location as the music file is still enabled, regardless of ArtFolder setting. This setting resides in Server Settings->Interface. By default Windows and Linux use $bin/Artwork (where $bin is the locaiton of the server executable. OSX uses $ENV{'HOME'}/Music/Artwork.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
