This is a very simple plugin helps the users to teach foobar2000 where the images files should be load, it's implemented as a service, which supported by both default UI and Columns UI. As of 0.06, it fills up the following titleformat fields: %albumart_front%, %albumart_back%, %albumart_disc%, %albumart_artist%, %albumart_icon%. The user who want to use this component must put those fields in the settings (in the Display page).
It supports wildcard and title formatting, wildcards like "*\*\*.jpg" could be used.
Please see the screen shot, I think it's explain the usage clearly.
ChangeLog:
0.06
Changed: Renamed to foo_covers2 to get rid of the warning by foobar2000 1.0. The user should rename the configration file from foo_cover.dll.cfg to foo_cover2.dll.cfg to keep the settings.
Changed: Build with the new SDK (2010-01-19). The preference page has been updated (Apply/Cancel/OK).
Changed: It doesn't work as a album art reader as before. It only returns the image path by the titleformat fields.
0.05
Fixed: A bug (race condition) which causes foobar2000 crashes.
0.04
Added: Two options to prevent some tracks from using foo_covers (by checking URI schemes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme) and file extensions).
0.03
Fixed: Title formatting doesn't work with the single track files.
Fixed: The configurations of artist images aren't saved.
0.02
Added: Artist images.

Looks excellent.
I'm missing options for tracks and artists, though.
Sweet, I don't know why there isn't something like this built in. Could you add a preview of the line you're on like the Playback State Formatting Display on the default ui settings?
can i get the link to the newest album art plugin? i cant find it anywhere

Why? Do you know what's this plugin doing?

The album art plugin is not related to this plugin. So far, only the out-of-box Default UI and Columns UI (NG Playlist and the ArtWork Panel) can take the advantage of this plugin (as I know).
Why? Do you know what's this plugin doing?
I don't know about track images, but support for artist.jpg was added in the latest version- it would be great to be able to specify where the artist image is too.
What happens when you have embedded artwork? Does this component override it, or will it still show up as normal?
Um, am I doing it wrong? This seems like an excellent idea for a component but I cannot get it to work.
My artwork is named as %catalognumber%.jpg in the same folder as the album.
I added the line %catalognumber%.* to the "Front" section and did not get any art.
I added the line $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,%catalognumber%).* to the "Front" section and did not get any art
I tried changing .* to .jpg and removing it completely and still did not get any art.
This is using the album art viewers included in DUI and CUI, as well as NGPlaylist. I can, however, use the same formatting in the CUI settings and get art under the CUI components.
OnPoint: Album art viewers are now included both in the Default UI and Columns UI. I do not believe any stand-alone components are still in development.

The artist images is the new feature in 0.9.6.5, but the latest SDK has been released last year. So... wait for the new SDK.
If you have embedded artwork, which has higher priority is undefined. (you can try)

I think %catalognumber%.* or %catalognumber%* should work, but I don't know why it doesn't. (Maybe %catalognumber% isn't available everywhere?)
Could you try a single * ?

After further experimentation:
* - Worked

%catalognumber% - Does NOT work.
%catalognumber%* - Worked
%catalognumber%.* - Does NOT work.
%catalognumber%.jpg - Does NOT work.
I guess I'll just use a single * as a generic solution until I need something more refined. Also, I had to restart foobar after changing the source for it to become effective.. maybe some sort of image caching going on?
0.02 is released. (+artist images)

If you use CUI's NG Playlist, switch to another playlist and then switch back should refresh the images. This plugin doesn't cache anything, since it is cached by the UI components.
Thanks for support for artist images, although it doesn't seem to save them between restarts. I can't get it to work with just artist.jpg either... but then it's not working even without this component. Strange.
Also, is it possible to use absolute paths for streams? I'm trying E:\Pictures\$replace(%path%,:,_,/,_).* but it doesn't work (e.g. with files called http___netcast6.kfjc.org_.gif). This is for the front cover, not artist pic.
I use this plugin to make latest foo_prettypop show images named %ALBUM%.jpg. So:
%album%.* - doesn't work.
%album%* - works, but loads first jpg in the folder, and that's not what intended.

About artist images, it is a bug , will be fixed in the next release.
I intent to support local media files only since I thought it isn't so useful with something other than "file://".
I can add this feature in the next release because it is easy to implement.EDIT: Streams can't be supported, fb2k never use this plugin with streams.

I can't reproduced this problem here, is %album% contains some special characters?

album = Protection
image file = Protection.jpg
(located in the folder where mp3 files)
foo_covers settings for 'Front':
front.*
%album%.*
DefaultUI, ColumnsUI, foo_prettypop doesn't show this image.
Added: renamed that file to test.jpg and added 'test.*' to foo_covers settings:
front.*
%album%.*
test.*
Now it shows test.jpg.
I was also pondering about this beforehand.
Try this for %album%.jpg
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,%album%.*).
Try this for %album%.jpg
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,%album%.*).
No luck. Neither this, nor $directory_path(%path%)\%album%.*
I can confirm the problems of the others.
An other point:
If a whole album is selected and not only a single track the album art viewer in DUI will display "[multiple items]" - foobars built-in artwork reader is able to tell the albumart viewer that there is only one image and will display it.
Thanks so much for this plugin! A simple
..\folder.jpg
displays my artist pictures.
album = Protection
image file = Protection.jpg
(located in the folder where mp3 files)
oops, the breakage is found!! This problem appears with the single track files. I didn't discover it since I mainly use foobar2000 to play multi-track WavPack files.
Fixed in the next release.

This problem is quite tricky, I can't fix that until a workaround is found. (though I don't use DUI at all)
The new version 0.03 is released, check it at the first post.
With new version 0.03, if defined image not found, I see text [no image] in cover window.
With previous versions of plugin in this case, I see image that defined in Advanced/Display.
It is possible return back this item.
The new version 0.03 is released, check it at the first post.
Thanks, just wanted to report the fixed bug (with artist source). Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I have been waiting for something like this for some time. Now I can finally display all my album art without having to change my naming scheme It's great to finally have all my high quality images available for use in the Default UI!
I have found a minor thing with the plugin though. When you select multiple tracks from the same album, the art view indicates '[Multiple Items]' even though it's the same cover for all the tracks. When the plugin is disabled, the art view will show cover art for all the selected tracks (obviously provided that the cover art is the same for all the tracks). Is it possible to change this behavior?
I hope that the above is clear and once again, many thanks for this!
Edit: Found a reply to my query in the posts above.
This component is absolutely fantastic !!! It's exactly what I was hoping for. This functionality should have been added to foobar a long time ago. Thank you JackieKu.
Now I have two small requests :
1. when you select several tracks, the DUI art wiewer simply displays "multiple items". But what if I have selected a whole album where all selected tracks have the same cover ? Then I'd like the art viewer to display such cover. Could this be possible, or is it a limitation from the standard DUI art viewer ?
2. Could there be a "scan mode" that would automatically scan all the library, find all tracks (or all albums) with missing artwork, and create a text log report ?
Thanks again for a fantastic work.
Awsome, thank you. This gives the kind of flexibility that made me love foobar2000 a lot.

You are the third person ask for the same thing (read above).
For someone want more technical informations,
fb2k asks this plugin for the *content* of image to display (it's NOT a path to the image file), and there is nothing beyond this. fb2k doesn't check whether the image is the same or not, since it may be a expensive work (needs notable time when the image is large). I think the best way to address this is modifying the artwork viewer to show the first image instead of "[multiple items]", but I'm not a fbk2 developer. Perhaps you can ask the developers to make some improve about this (new API or the artwork viewer itself).
2. Could there be a "scan mode" that would automatically scan all the library, find all tracks (or all albums) with missing artwork, and create a text log report ?
No.
I just wanted to report that the latest version fixes the problems I had previously reported regarding %catalognumber%. Filename strings are now working as expected, thank you for your dedication to your component.
Just wanted to say thanks for a very useful plugin. So...
THANKS!
The thing i dont get is how is it used after settings the paths?
I mean does it work automatically? For CAD for example, should it work?
@JackieKu:
Hello,
First, i want to congratulate you for this very useful plugin, thanx.
i've now a request
i have to declare (in Front, Back, Artist, ...) an alternative image (no_cover.png, ...) when the image is not found (do not exists),
but these alternative images are stored in a folder based on the foobar2000 install folder (ex: C:/Program Files/foobar2000/skins/my_skin/no_cover.png)
and so, i have to enter full path to get it displayed as well.
This full path is change with portable install of foobar (ex: usb key usage), because foobar200 folder can change, and so, i have to modify the foo_cover settings too ...
So my idea was to use foo_exvar.dll which comes with %FOOBAR_PATH%, a default extended variable usable in all foobar components as well, but it doesn't work in foo_covers (weird), why this limitation ? maybe a thing to change to allow this? that would be great
or maybe easier for you to declare a such variable for foo_covers : %foo_cover_foobar_path% or something similar ...
Another way would be to make the relative path based on the foobar2000 install folder, and not on the music folder (titleformatting already exists to get easily the music folder)
Thanx to think about this request and hopefully bring a solution
if not possible or not wanted, just notify me, no problem
@Falstaff:
I put this
%FOOBAR_PATH%images\foonightday\cover\nocover.jpg
as last line in my sources and it's picking it up just fine. I even changed to a different picture with a different filename to make sure it was not picking up the value from some place else. It's definitely working.
lol, you're right, just have forgotten that %FOOBAR_PATH% contains the '/' end char
thanx, pb solved
How do you point to that plugin from other plugins?
I mean how to access covers when have set them?

I mean how to access covers when have set them?
which other plugins?
- for PSS and ELP, it's usable with $imageabs() or $drawimage() using %path% for the image path and artreader_*** for option1 (*** = front/back/disc/icon/artist)
- for CUI Artwork panel/NG Playlist/..., just be sure that the built-in foobar artwork reader is not disable (tab Artwork)
HTH
I'm sorry for a silly question, but is there any point of having this with Columns UI? What's the difference between the plugins settings and CUI Artwork's ones?

It's more flexible since it support wildcards (like *\??*\*). In addition, it can be used by any components that supports the build-in artwork reader.

I use the foo_lastfm_radio plug-in. Installing foo_covers blocks the foo_lastfm_radio plug-in from loading album covers. Am I missing something? CUI & DUI

Works fine here.

had the same problem. here's how I fixed it. YMMV
close fb2k and delete foo_covers.dll (move to recycle bin, don't delete permanently). restart fb2k and when it asks foo_covers is no longer installed, do you want to keep its settings, say YES. verify that your last.fm radio covers are working. close fb2k. restore foo_covers.dll and start fb2k again. I think it should work now.
It's a strange problem seen on two different pcs (both XP SP3). About half the time I open foobar2000 0.9.6.7 the last.fm album covers show fine with foo_covers installed. At other times they do not - but if close and open foobar eventually they come back. No problems when foo_covers is not loaded. I tried barty's solution but it did not permanently fix the problem.
Have the same problems with embedded album art...
I have a feeling that it depends on component load order, which is randomized each run exactly for the reason that it becomes easily apparent when some feature relies on such an unreliable assumption.

Does it block foo_lastfm_radio when the cover is not found by foo_covers? If not, this is NOT a bug since the order of the components to load the album arts is NOT determined by foo_covers.
is someone supporting cdartdisplay plugin? Would be nice to have it foo_cover aware.
Does it block foo_lastfm_radio when the cover is not found by foo_covers?
I am not sure that I understand this. foo_lastfm_radio is finding its own covers and so foo_covers is not being asked to find the covers in this scenario. Therefore, the cover is not found by foo_covers and blocking of the display of covers by foo_lastfm_radio occurs.
Hi,
Is it possible to use picture inside a archive?
For example I have file "Musics 2009.zip" which contains :
01. Track 1
02. Track 2
03. Track 3
cover.jpg
So when I play the archive in Foobar, how to show that "cover.jpg" ?
Is it possible to use this to search for cover for singles?
I saved all album arts in one folder; E:\Covers; in either of this format %artist% - %album% or %artist% - %title%
how to show it in ELPlaylist?
0.04 is released.
I added two options to limit the usage of foo_covers, it should work better with other artwork sources (e.g. foo_lastfm_radio).

I don't using ELPlaylist. It should work fine if it support built-in artwork provider.
@JackieKu: thanks. this seems to have fixed the lastfm problem.
@acedriver: you'd enter this in Preferences > Covers > Front
E:\Covers\%artist% - %album%.*
E:\Covers\%artist% - %title%.*
then in elplaylist, you can show it with
$imageabs(x,y,w,h,%el_group_first_path%,artreader,,,)
using the latest elplaylist. You'll have to figure out x,y,w,h for your particular config.
@JackieKu: does your foo_covers automatically strip illegal characters or should I do it manually? i.e., is it necessary to say
$replace(%album artist%-%album%,",,?,,*,.,/,)
@JackieKu: thanks - the foo_lastfm_radio problem appears to be fixed for me as well.
thx barty!!
@JackieKu: does your foo_covers automatically strip illegal characters or should I do it manually? i.e., is it necessary to say

It doesn't handle this special case, using $replace() is necessary in current version.
Hi
I am a complete moron when it comes to this, and I am unsure which direction I need to go to get this working.
Currently I use foo_upnp to stream my library from home to work. It can embed the cover art into the stream so the standard album art viewers pick it up.
I think it creates a variable called %UPNPALBUMARTURL% which translates into http://server:port/albumart/"random (http://server:port/albumart/"random) number1"/"random number 2".jpg
Everything stays the same in that url, except the the two different numbers which changes when the song changes.
the skin I want to use uses WSH, i think? anyway, when i replace %path% in PSS with %UPNPALBUMARTURL% I get this
$replace(%UPNPALBUMARTURL%,,).jpg)
this generates the cover.path link as the appropriate http://server:port/albumart/"random (http://server:port/albumart/"random) number1"/"random number 2".jpg which should work... right? but it doesnt with the skin's art viewer.
The developer told me below:
@kelkor
You will have to install foo_covers. Set %path% as the cover path in PSS. Then search PSS for the $drawimage() lines, that include $get_ps_global(cover.path), replace
nokeepaspect
with
artreader_front nokeepaspect
I have tried every variation of the above I can think of... but i cannot seem to make it work. How can Foo_Covers help me? i am confused. Thats greatly.
Hello, I'm a foobar newbie (or actually I've been using it for years, however I've never been toying around with it) and just now installed this plug-in. However I have absolutely no idea what variables to wright in order for it to be able to find the pictures. Is there an explanation of the different variables and symbols somewhere?
@Krelkor
I think foo_covers can't help you, if your images need http access. foo_covers can't download the images via http (if foobar2000 SDK's IO API doesn't handle it), on the other hand, it seems foobar2000 never asks foo_covers for images when the path is http://.

Hey! I really like this component, it's a great addition for using only 1 band picture and not replicating it on each album.
However, I found a strange bug, that (so far) happens only in 1 folder.
All my band pictures are stored this way:
..\Genre\Band\band.jpg
and the albums are located in:
..\Genre\Band\Albums\
so for the artist pictures I used this:
band.*
..\band.*
It works perfectly for all the bands, like this example:
I:\Music\Groove Metal\Fear Factory\band.jpg
But, the problem ocurs here:
I:\Music\Groove Metal\5FDP\band.jpg
It doesn't display the picture. It display's "no cover found".
So I guessed there must be something wrong with the picture format, maybe it was a bmp renamed jpg or something that might trick the image display component. So I copied a picture that worked, the fear factory's band picture, and pasted it in the problematic folder. It didn't work. It still doesn't display any image. That's when I thought that the problem wasn't with the image display component.
I can't think of a solution. It's too strange. I'm just reporting this issue, but it's nothing serious anyway.
Thx again!
This is not this plugin intent to do. It should be support by other components which extract the data from the ZIP archive.
I see. Btw I just realize that if there is a file named "cover.jpg" or "folder jpg" on the archive, Album Art Viewer will displaying it....
JackieKu,
You did a fantastic job! Thank you very much!
There's one thing I haven't figured out: how to specify that the cover may be in the parent folder (e.g. in the case of a bonus disc).
Anyway, what matters is that my foobar is again showing covers, after almost 2 years, haha
There's one thing I haven't figured out: how to specify that the cover may be in the parent folder (e.g. in the case of a bonus disc).
if the cover is named "folder.jpg" or something,
you should have

I have a "humble" feature request
There is a foo_uie_albumart version (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=39924&view=findpost&p=414554), written by david_dl, which uses OpenGL output and an impressive 3D look, really very impressive. There are sources in that post as well.
If only you could use such OpenGL feature in your plugin...
I'd continue using david_dl's version, but it refuses to show me any picture in Wine. Maybe, that's because the plugin is relatively old and built in old fb2k SDK.
foo_covers doesn't show anything. It just tells location of images to other plugins.
2lvqcl:
Oh, thanks. Then nevermind my question.
Great plugin. But the various limitations (like embedded images unsupported, and other minor things) let me to not use it.
However, I have some questions. Which effect the square brackets have in the option string? I see them in the screenshot.
Than can you explain me if there is an official page for this plugin? For examples, where to find FAQ or eventual new versions eventually not promptly reported by the author of first post of this topic?
Hi,
is there any way to get this work together with foo_cronflow?
-Chris
How can I cycle images by foo_covers (Ex: 10s for each image) is I have more than one image?
Thanks.
However, I have some questions. Which effect the square brackets have in the option string? I see them in the screenshot.
The syntax is known as title formatting (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference), which is widely used in foobar2000.
is there any way to get this work together with foo_cronflow?
Contact the developer of cronflow to support the API in the official SDK.
How can I cycle images by foo_covers (Ex: 10s for each image) is I have more than one image?
In general, it is not supported, but it can be achieved by modifying the components that shows the images. foo_covers returns different images for each album_art_extractor_instance::query() calls. Without this way, it's almost impossible to do so since there is no way to know whether the two function calls are from the same place (component) or not.
Question/(Request) : It would be great if this component generate a global variable for each path declarerd in foo_covers like : %foo_covers_front%% , %foo_covers_artist% ... and so on
so we could easily used this wonderfull way to get path in WSH panel or Graphical Browser panel, Chronflow ... every panel that use title format in fact
@JackieKu: is it possible technically ? if yes, what about this idea ? please tell us more about that, thanx in advance.
Regards,
"Bug" report: you seem not to have changed the version string for 0.04. It still shows as 0.03 in components section (and is thus mentioned by the online troubleshooter as problematic/outdated):

OMG! Please download it again to fix that.
Ah, much better:
No known problematic components found.
Footnote: I had to clean my browser's cache to be able to retrieve the "updated" 0.04 version.
In the hope that this plugin is still being developped, I have a couple feature suggestions if possible!
- Automatic cropping of the picture
- When using multiple Album viewer windows, it would be awesome if you could somehow prevent the various windows from displaying duplicate images
Thanks in advance!
Question/(Request) : It would be great if this component generate a global variable for each path declarerd in foo_covers like : %foo_covers_front%% , %foo_covers_artist% ... and so on
Sorry, I overlooked this. It is technically possible. I'll consider to implement it.
@Benji99
1. It should be implemented in the viewers IMHO.
2. There is no clean way to do this. However, you could insert a '|' character to the beginning of source path, the returned images will be randomized.
BTW,
I noticed this topic has been marked as [crashware], but nobody told me this component cause his/her foobar2000 crashes. Any idea?

Users may not be aware of which component is the cause of a crash in the typical clusterhug of components that is the average CUI components dir. Other users might just accept crashing as a way of life and just restart and pray when it happens.

[crashware] cibling method of the Staff team is according to bad, they set as [crashware] some components that has never crashed and that are kept up to date by their developpers,
these compoenents are for foo_covers and foo_uie_panel_splitter.dll (that i use to the extreme on any PC (XP, Vista, Seven x32 and x64!) and had NEVER crashed.
so, don't care, i'm sure the Foobar Team will fix the crash report method and cleanning up these errors !
So, what does this component have to do with Columns UI now?
Erm, heh. I must admit I only skimmed the thread and saw people mention assorted panels, so I assumed that this component was an CUI extension as well.
I have nothing against CUI itself, it's just that some of the extensions for it are … interestingly developed.
Heck, even I have made CUI extensions of dubious stability.

I've got couple of crashes daily, on the album loader thread, most likely due to this component delivering erroneus or incomplete data to that thread, causing a crash. I love this component and I don't care having it crashing foobar once in a while, but maybe adding a method of image path verification to avoid sending non-unicode, or too long filenames to the album loader thread might help.
@NullString
Well, but this component doesn't send the image file paths, instead, it sends the data (or the IO objects). Could you post your crash logs if you think foo_covers cause your foobar2000 crashes?
@Benji99
1. It should be implemented in the viewers IMHO.
2. There is no clean way to do this. However, you could insert a '|' character to the beginning of source path, the returned images will be randomized.
Thanks for responding!
I agree that it should be implemented, but actually I think the work your plugin is doing is so useful that it should be completely integrated in Foobar
about No. 2, Yeah I have been using the | to make the pictures random, what would have been cool is if I have 3 pictures, and 3 Album viewers. that each viewer would displayer (randomly) different pictures. Right now, they are often the same ones. Just to let you know, what I was trying to re-create was the Last-FM style layout for artist pictures (1 big one and 3-4 small ones underneath)
Anyway, here's hoping it gets integrated in the DUI Art viewer someday!
NOTE: The plugin has been very stable for me too! Although I never tried doing anything too exotic with it...

Could you try this version (http://jackieku.hp.infoseek.co.jp/download/foo_covers-0.05debug.7z) and let me know whether the problem is fixed or not? This is a debug build so you will see a dialog when you launch foobar2000, but it may produce more informations when crashes.

ya no crashes so far GJ!
Thanks for your feedbacks, I've uploaded a new version.
Hey.
Just downloaded Foobar 1.0 beta, and it seems to have implemented foo_covers within the app.
oes thisw deem the component redundant, or am I missing something?
(btw this just proves what great work and idea is behind this component)

Yes, I'm glad to see the feature is now in 1.0. I haven't tested it so much, so I don't know if it support wildcards.
Wildcards do work fine, but as far as I know, there's no support for randomizing the pics.
If there's a way I want to find out!
Say that the backend would support returning a random image on every query. That would lead to a lot of flickering for components that query it constantly, either due to architecture or due to not wanting to try to find out whether it has changed recently or not.
Any chance for an updated version that would remove the nagging warning when using it with 1.0 beta?
NOTE: I still would like to use the randomize feature!
Thanks
how to foor_covers work with foobar v1.0
@ForteD
1.0 has the function of foo_cover built-in, isn't it?
Not all: it doesn't support wildcard for filepath.
can this plugin help me point to album art that's in a subfolder of the main album folder? i keep my album art in a folder called *band* - Album Art.
how could i use this plugin to have foobar look within subfolders for art?
i have this exact question on a thread of it's own, but so far i havent been able to figure it out.
thanks!

That's so bad...
You could rename the file name of foo_covers.dll to get rid of the warning.
are you understand he write ? :|

I believe foo_covers 0.5 still works in 1.0. The only different thing in 1.0 is the warning on startup as someone said.

And I tried changing the version number of foo_covers, but it can not bypass the warning. It seems 1.0 checks it by the name "foo_covers".

Hi chrome_waves,
I had the same with my music-database: all covers-pics of an album are in a subfolder of every folder-album named
'Cover'.
Try this (I hope it will work for You):
|Album Art\Front.*
Regards
Miltiades
Miltiades, thanks for your reply - no, it didnt work for me as you typed it.
my album art, is always in a subfolder of the album. the folder with the album art, sometimes the name varies a litte, but it always ends in 'album art'
i wonder if there's a way just to have foobar look for a subfolder with a name that ends in 'album art'
this would save me alot of trouble, because i find i'm having to go and change the name of the album art folders - something thats not fun with 200 gigs of audio files ;(
how about wild cards, what are some possible wild cards? anyone know? maybe an ability to specify a partial name of a subfolder?
i know you guys have been through this before, share the knowledge

Try...
|*Album Art/*
|*/*Album Art/*

but this syntax won't work in the foobar2000 1.0 built-in album art reader.
jackie, thanks for your reply - i pasted it as you gave it, it didnt work (foobar 1.0 with your plugin)
was i supposed to put anything before it? what does the | do, and where can i learn more about the syntax?
do me a small favor - look at this screenshot - if it were you, what syntax would you use to have foobar look into the album art folder to get the artwork?
note that i named the main folder "deluxe edition", but that doesnt appear anywhere in the tags, i just named it that for my own convenience.

The path is relative to the directory that contains the "media file". So in this case the album art directory is not a subdirectory of you album (media files) as you said.
Try this instead ...
|..\*Album Art\*
oops...
In my previous post I used slashes '/', which is wrong. They should be backslashes '\'.

I got rid of the warning by just changing the name of the component to something other than foo_covers.dll.
Give that a try
it works!!
thanks!
The rename trick works, thanks!
BUT remember to write down your settings first, because renaming the plugin will cause the settings dialog to reset to its defaults.
Until Foobar fixes the wildcard matching, and PrettyPopup integrates with Foobar 1.0 properly, I'm keeping this component around

You can rename the configuration file as well.
I'm using foo_uie_biography to download album arts to foobar2000\lastfm\album\, named %artist%-%album%.*, so I tried this but didn't work:
%foobar2000_profile%\lastfm\album\%artist%-%album%.*
so I replaced with absoluted path but didn't work neither:
D:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\lastfm\album\%artist%-%album%.*
Is your plugin working with CUI`s NGPlaylist\Artwork View (v. 0.3.8.3)?
And where your got the %foobar2000_profile% variable on the screenshot?
Hi all!
I have some troubles: my covers always located in folder with music files.
How I can show image for no cover albums? (Such as "Image to display when no album art can be found" in foobar2000 0.9.*)
Thanks.
Hello.
I have a question when using foo_covers.
I have my music sorted F:\Music\Artist\Album
Using this to grab the artist-image: 'F:\Music\'$replace(%artist%,.,)'\artist.jpg'
I have several artist images named artist_01, artist_02... and I wonder if I can somehow make foo_covers grab them in order or random
Unless I'm missing it, there's nowhere to put %albumart_icon% in the new DUI settings... guess the ability to customize that one's gone?
There is some request.
Please add TF function that counting found image.(e.g. %albumart_artist_count%)
Please add TF function that get specific number image.(e.g. %album_artist_2%)
not all line. these function use when * useing per line.
Thanx JackieKu for this, it does what i've expected for a long time : returning path in TF variable, so useful (ELPlaylist, Chronflow, Graphical Browser, PSS, ...)
it's perfect!
Can anybody post a link to a copy of foo_covers?
The link in first page seams to be dead.
thx

Not needed, link in first page is ok now.
There seem to be a couple of problems with this. The first is invalid characters such as ':' and '?', it would be nice if they were converted using the same replacements which the file operations component uses. The second is foobar2000 freezing when searching for "%albumart_front% MISSING". I guess this could be because of the large number of files to check, but adding %albumart_front% as a column shows everything without a problem so I'm not sure.
Download link (first post) is broken again.
Please Please Please add the option to embed the image into the file instead! I would simply want either cover.jpg, or folder.jpg in each album folder, embedded into the music files, and this goes half way there. MassTagger also goes halfway there, but nothing does it out of the box. I've looked at MP3tag but cant find a way to automate this, plus it would be better to do it from within foobar of course.
Cheers
Jon
Does this plugin supports wildcards *inside* archives? e.g. best_of.rar has several audio files and the '02350_front234.jpg'
And I use $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg) to get the full path of the image inside the archive for my artreader. Is this possible?
I need the wildcards because the picture can have any name instead of just only 'cover' or 'folder' etc.
By the way, the link for the component is dead.
