So, we're still having problems with this and iTunes? Great, I only have iTunes and the free version of Winamp 5, so until it's fixed it's no use to me.

(oh, and crni, is it possible to use relative paths for your skins as it's getting annoying having to repeatedly go through every config and replace c:\ with d:\ (I put Windows on C: for ease of formatting) I don't mean to sound like i'm having a go or anything it would just be more helpful for everyone, that's all).

Relative paths aren't available in Samurize. Not yet.

But there's a simple way to do it. Open desired config in notepad and push ctrl+h

In first field (find) type in the location that is in the config (c:\program files\samurize)

In second field (replace) type in your location (d:\program files\samurize)

I'm sure that you are aware of the fact that replacing 'c' to 'd' only will make a mess of the config

Updated :
CDCovers (fixed it to work with Samuize v1.25 + redesigned + added few more skins).
SoundBox (fixed it to work with Samuize v1.25)

REDOWNLOAD from my page....

[zenzen]

Thanks for updating so fast.... Hope that it will work with autodownload missing covers....

hey CRNI this looks really cool but after many tries with the newest version I cannot get it to work I keep getting this error (see attached image). I have no idea what is causing it. ANy help would be appreciated.


EDIT: I get the same error when I try and use the soundBOx config too.

EDIT: Nevermind I was having a senior moment and forgot I didn't have version 1.25 awesome stuff CRNI works perfect.

it downloads indeed covers from amazon, you can change the plugin behavior in the advancedmediaplayer.opt located in the plugin directory, set your local covers folder (to save the one downloaded or tell the plugin to look here for album.jpg png etc.. )

[crni]

...like I wrote in the README file :

Important: 
~~~~~~~~~~

	- You MUST have latest Samurize v1.25 
   installed in 'C:\program files\Samurize\'

	- 'GetAlbumCover' function is been updated.
   Now it support jpg,bmp,gif and png formats.It uses
   'C:\Pogram Files\Samurize\Covers\' as default covers folder.
   It search for covers in Album folder then in default folder
   and then search on amazon.com and retrive cover based on
   album and/or title tag.If found - jpg cover image is converted to png
   on the fly and placed it in default folder.
   If you want to change default cover folder or any other settings
   edit 'AdvancedMediaPlayerInfo.opt' file (open in notepad) and change
   
   global_dir = C:\Program Files\Samurize\Covers\ 

   to desired covers folder path.

   I suggest you read 'SpectrumReadme.txt' for more details.

Why don't you read the README files ?
I spent more time writing instructions in README files then in making configs ...
...and yet same questions are asked over and over again...

[tarik]

Sorry crni :6

[p0ptart]

Crni... you are the samurize master. Thanks alot for this.
**edit - I hate to be a pain but do you have any idea why this might be happening at times? It's working really well most of the time but some songs seem to generate this error. I couldn't find anything in the readme **

What skin style are you using when this happens ?
BOXED and Synergy styles automatically switch configs (run scripts) based on weather cover was found, so my guess is that you are not running CDCovers instance...

[p0ptart]

that was the problem. thanks much. i'm feeling pretty dumb right about now.

Did anybody get the Art Album feature to work with internet streams?
I tried what was said in the advancedmediaplayer.opt but no luck

[derek]

yep it's working pretty well when the track have good idtags
(almost 40 covers found on the net automatically since upgrade 1.25 )

what site do u use to listen ?

[crni]

IMPORTANT
~~~~~~~
There is a bug with image downloader that will freeze comp for 90 sec if no internet connection is established. ( some of us still use dialup connection )
Plugin keeps trying to search for image but since no connection is active it's stuck in the loop (proc usage goes sky high - 100% - and comp freezes). GOOD thing is that proces is terminated after 90sec. and everything is back to normal - until next song...
I just got confirmation from plugin author and he is working to fix this.
So you either make sure you're connected when playing song for the first time
or get all covers you can get and disable internet search in the 'opt' file located in '~\samurize\plugins\' folder .

To disable search for covers on amazon.com change this :

autodownload_byalbum = 1
autodownload_bytitle = 1

to this :

autodownload_byalbum = 0
autodownload_bytitle = 0

Sorry for the misunderstanding >.< I meant what internet links you are using to listen to streaming music or radio?

[derek]

oh ok
the cd covers refers to the track name to search covers so with the radio name it'll not found
