Frostmourne: use ".." to look one directory above.  For instance:

Code: [Select]
match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)..\cover*

This also works.  It's what I was told when I asked the same question some time ago.  I think I like the other way better though. May also be faster. 
Code: [Select]
match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,,%_directoryname%,)cover*

I used to suggest this code, too, but someone pointed out a great example of when this code would fail:

Suppose you use "Artist\Album\" as your directory scheme....if the artist and the album have the same name, then the above code would return "\\", instead of "Artist\".  I actually had that happen on a few of my albums and I had just never noticed.

You could make some room in the configuration panel by getting rid of the 'minimum height' item, since it's useless in the new Columns UI.[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=377682"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Please don't remove the "minimum height" item, since it's very useful in the new Columns UI.

Absolutely! I always use it. I would also suggest to add Minimum width feature.

Sorry maybe is a silly question... is this plugin able to get covers from the web? Something like Amarok does.
Thanks

No. Only images stored locally.

Actually, the 0.8 albumart did walk through all sources found for instance with a search like match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*... At least it does here.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=376968"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I'll have a look at it, but it doesn't look like it does in the code. Maybe this was in the later versions which don't have the source available?

Is there any plan or possibilty to make this plugin to read album art from tags  . . . like in itunes & mediamonkey

I'm not sure how they are stored, if I can find any information about it I could try...

Hi G-Lite
Have you got any info about where/how the art is stored?? I have a big collection of mp3's with pictures stored in the file, and I have not sorted the files in different folders, because I thought that was an "old fashion" way??

I had the updated album art working all day yesterday and today, suddenly FB just constantly crashes for no apparent reason that I can find. I didnt change any album art settings, now I'm clueless

Do the crashes stop if you remove foo_uie_albumart from your components folder?  (Or even better, rename it to something like foo_uie_albumart.dll.bak)

yep they sure do, if it helps, my music folder looks like this... some are music/artist/album, ones without multiple albums is just music/artist

I cant use it either. I have a fresh copy of foobar .9 and the columnsui and thats it. I put the dll of the album_art in the components folder and foobar crashes saying I either need more files or its meant for a different version of foobar. ???

Posted this in the other albumart topic, but apparently this is the active one.

***

Would it be possible to implement cover masking. That is masking the cover image with a black/white image and then merging it with say a cd case. Basically like Winamp CD Case. Additionally allowing to rotate the cover image would be ideal. Assuming that GDI+ is being used for the plugin, this shouldn't be hard to achieve given someone knows how to code it.

This is what I am aiming at.

You'll have to wait. If you're lucky the SDK for 0.9.1 will perhaps include possibilities to access albumart in tags.

That would be really cool. I dont know anything about GDI+ but it does not seems like it would be too hard to do. There was a separate toaster plugin for winamp that I used for a while that did something along these lines, only it displayed the image on the desktop instead of in the player.

@The Link

I take it you have tried to get the album art from the mp4 (or m4a) container and didn't have any luck?  This would be very cool if it was possible.

Hi there,

I have a similar problem as the one posted before regarding the covers being in a different folder. But the previous solutions didn't fix mine
I keep the album images in the same folder where the zipped albums are (one folder per zipped file and image), and the panel doesn't show anything at all. I remember changing the the sources search criteria in version 0.8, but I completely forgot how... 
anyone could give a hand?

Thanks a lot

try this (cover saved as folder.jpg)
Code: [Select]
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_directoryname%'\'%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg

well... it didn't 
I changed  the following line:
Code: [Select]
-components\default.png

for this one instead
Code: [Select]
-components\folder.jpg


and put a random cover in the components folder, just to check if it would do anything at all. This seems to be working, but it really is far away from what it should be...
Any help will be highly appreciated.

castaway: Could you cut and paste the "Location" for one of your files, as shown in "Properties"?  (Right-click the track and select "Properties..." from the context menu)  This should be the same as what "%_path%" gives.  I don't use zip files with my music, so I'm not familiar with what foobar2000 puts as the path.

The plugin uses GdiPlus to load the image from a file. GdiPlus cannot read zip files, and does not understand foobar's virtual zip paths (for example: "X:\path\zipfile.zip|file.mp3" ).

To allow the reading of images from within zip files, the plugin would need to be modified to load the file using  the foobar2000 'reader' (if that's what it's still called in the 0.9 SDK). However GdiPlus refuses to load a file from memory, the easiest way would probably be to wrap 'reader' as an IStream interface.
