Hello, good morning, the Discog or Discog Api scripts do not work for me in AlbumArtDownloader, is there a solution for this?

Alexdokken: I don't know the answer but I saw someone posted a similar issue on the Discogs forum. Discogs has had so many operational/uptime issues over the past year+ that I wouldn't be surprised if it's an API issue on their side.

Discogs API is working for me. Check you've pasted in your API token correctly. Maybe it was a temporary service interruption.

Q: Is there a script for AlbumArtDownloader XUI that can pull Album Images from the AccurateRip database (like dBpoweramp's CD Ripper)?

No. Is there a public API for this? I didn't think AccurateRip had cover art in it...

Is anyone still having issues with Discogs API?  The only search results i'm getting to anything is from Deezer, Beatport and MusicBrainz, no matter what i try.
Have updated the script from the repo this morning and readded the API key but when i try to run just the Discogs plugin, it runs and stops immediately, no errors?

It's working OK for me this morning.

Mine has stopped running today. None of the searches find any hits. Uninstalled, reinstalled, run as Administrator....
No changes to firewall.
Currently running Windows 11 Insider Preview 27686.1000 (rs_prerelease) for about 3 weeks now.

Any suggestions?

AAD absolutely solves "Find Missing Artwork" for me but I'm finding it less useful in the realm of "Upgrade Bad Artwork".

Has anyone considered a way to send the local Folder.jpg to an image search somewhere? Thinking like Google's find images like this search. Right now I just click the (i) info button on the local file and then manually drag it up into Google or Tin Eye or whatever but that's a bit of a pain.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to change the default save folder? Ever since I activated OneDrive syncing for my Pictures folder, I get the following error: "Cannot create C:/Users/Admin/Pictures because a file or directory with the same name already exists". I suspect this is due to OneDrive's Pictures folder handling, as the user folder is basically just a link now.

Click Options, then in the Path to Save Images box you can edit this to whatever you want.

It is possible to add support to Dark Mode? Is great to use this program with foo_run add-on in Foobar2000 to search the best cover arts and with that could be have more integration with dark themes.
Have you tried turning it off and on again??

Hello Alex,

thanks very much for the continued work you put into this project.

I have a question similar to user "dpr" posted a few years back:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,57392.msg1008252.html#msg1008252
In short, I want to perform a single search that will bring up separate AAD windows for the front cover, back cover, insert, disc, etc.

I'm currently using MP3Tag with AAD as a linked external program; MP3Tag allows the user to pass search parameters to AAD. For example:
Code: [Select]
/ar "%artist%" /al "%album%" /p "%_folderpath%%album% - Front.%%extension%%" /t Front /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o  a- /ac
These searches can be saved. I have also set up saved searches for the Back and the Disc, which I can run separately, but that means multiple searches per file. Better than a manual download for sure! But I'd like to streamline it more.

I've tried a few variations of this:
Code: [Select]
/ar "%artist%" /al "%album%" /p "%_folderpath%%album% - Front.%%extension%%" /t Front /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o  a- /ac || /new /ar "%artist%" /al "%album%" /p "%_folderpath%%album% - Back.%%extension%%" /t Back /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o a- /ac
which is essentially two of the search parameters joined by a double pipe, but due to my poor scripting knowledge, I either get a failure with the AAD command parameter help window, or it only runs the last search in my string, e.g. the "Back" cover type.

So, assuming my goal is clear enough, 1: Is this possible, and 2: what would that parameter string look like?

I originally posted this on the MP3Tag forums and a helpful poster there suggested it might be doable with a batch file, also. Thoughts/comments/suggestions?

Re: Album Art Downloader XUI

Yeah, batch file is definitely the way to go. So create something a file called something like in notepad multisearch.cmd, with one line per search that you want to do:
Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\Album Art Downloader\AlbumArt.exe" /new /ar "%1" /al "%2" /p "%3%%album%% - Front.%%extension%%" /t Front /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o a- /ac 
"C:\Program Files\Album Art Downloader\AlbumArt.exe" /new /ar "%1" /al "%2" /p "%3%%album%% - Back.%%extension%%" /t Back /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o a- /ac
Then have mp3tag execute that batch file with the parameters "%artist%" "%album%" "%_folderpath%"

That will probably work. Or at least get you closer.

Thank you!  I may try that. A different but also helpful poster on the MP3Tag site suggested that all types of covers be included in my search, and then I could save the files according to an AAD preset. This looks like a more straightforward way of achieving my goal, except that I'm not seeing the little "Save As" down arrow next to the floppy icon.  It does seem to show up if I do a search from a File Browser. Any idea how to get it to show up consistently?

Re: Album Art Downloader XUI

Sure, if you're happy with a single search then you could just include %type% in the path to save as and it would populate automatically:
Code: [Select]
[/new /ar "%artist%" /al "%album%" /p "%_folderpath%%%album%% - %%type%%.%%extension%%" /t Front,Back /mn 600 /mx 1400 /o a- /ac

I think this will work, thank you. I removed the type parameter and the autoclose from the search string (/t xxx and /ac respectively) since this lets me download multiple cover types without needing to rename or overwrite, and since I want do one search for multiple files.

Thanks very much for your help, it's really appreciated!

Thank you very much for clarifying to me about putting the API token correctly, in the script where it says to put token here it is in quotes, I eliminated them, below I will show how I put it:

class DiscogsAPI(AlbumArtDownloader.Scripts.IScript):
   
   token = cddqdLaJFGjXuktNGBvnSCQWxhxJQOIcUzFgJmjn

   def constructor():
      // Discogs requires TLS 1.1 or greater
      Tls12 = Enum.ToObject(typeof(System.Net.SecurityProtocolType), 3072);
      Tls11 = Enum.ToObject(typeof(System.Net.SecurityProtocolType), 768);

I have two identical versions of AAD running on two separate computers.  The one using Windows 11 works with the 45cat.boo, but it doesn't work with the Windows 10 computer.  Could the operating system be the reason it doesn't work on the Windows 10 device?  I've tried reinstalling/restarting, etc, but still can't get it to work with 45cat.
