problem with albumart source 2007-10-14 13:51:52 Hi all,Iam using foobar and iam very happy with it. But there seems to be a bug in the albumart component.I use:"C:\Programme\foobar2000\coverdownloader\cover\%artist%_$replace(%album%,:,).jpg"for the source.. The Preview displays:"C:\Programme\foobar2000\coverdownloader\cover\Timbaland_Presents Shock Value.jpg" for example...that is totaly right. But albumart won't load artworks with a removed ":". The files are there... but albumart doesn't load them :-(Anyone had the same problem?Thanks for help.
problem with albumart source Reply #1 – 2007-10-15 06:16:06 It's not a bug, just not the behavior you're expecting. Invalid filename characters in tags (such as ':' and '/') are replaced with the wildcard '?' before any other titleformatting functions (such as $replace) are evaluated. That means you can't define exactly how invalid characters are replaced.

problem with albumart source Reply #3 – 2007-10-17 02:58:55 You'll have to rename the cover to something like:C:\Programme\foobar2000\coverdownloader\cover\John Williams_Star Wars Episode III_ Revenge Of The Sith.jpgThe point is, you have to replace the ":" with another character in the filename. As far as I know, there is no way to make it work with the colon removed.
