Ah, I see. I'll get this sorted in the next version.

Would like to say a thank you for this!

I have a number of albums with low quality AlbumArt. (200X200 or worse)I have used the CalculateCoverSize script to identify these.

I wish I could use a batch searh for better art. But your script only works on tracks with missing album art. Any alternative?

(I do not want to delete the low quality art unless I find something better)

[trixmoto]

Unfortunately at the moment I don't have a suggestion. I guess this script would need to include options to allow it to run for tracks with artwork - I'll put it on my list.

Can i use "Batch Art Finder 2.4" with MediaMonkey 3.0?

[trixmoto]

I don't know, because I've not tried, but I wouldn't recommend it because this script queries the MM database which has changed structure in MM3 so the results could cause the script to behave unpredictably.

Have people got this script to work on Vista? I still get MSINET error, even after installing msinet.osx in the scripts/auto folder and in windows32.

If yes, could you outline the steps necessary for getting this script to work in Vista?

Thanks, B.

Nope. I have tried different MSInet.ocx files, registered them successfully, still get the error on Vista. Too bad, I really like this script.

Hi Trixmoto:

I have decided to brave the mysterious world of album art. In order to accomplish this I have tried to use your Batch Art Finder script but I keep getting the error as referenced here:

http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =album+art

I thought instead I could use your Google Art Finder script, but I have two problems with this one, 1. It is not dockable, is there a way to make it dockable? and 2. The image results are more unreliable than the BAF script, is there a way to change it to use the same search parameters that the BAF uses, I have tried to change the vbs to the same search url as the BAF but it isn't giving me any results? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, trixmoto
this script is not able to deal with unicode-tags, or is it?
Attempting to find pictures for files with unicode-tags,
the query window shows only "?" in Artist and Almum Tags.
Any workaround possible?

@nynaevelan - can you please find line 33 in the .vbs file by opening it in a text editor and replace...

Code: Select all

Dim Debug : Debug = False

...with...

Code: Select all

Dim Debug : Debug = True

Now when you run the script you should get a .log file created, could you please email this to me? I don't wish to do any more development to GoogleArtFinder as it is so similar to BatchArtFinder.

@austin powers - seems like it's not possible yet. I'll try to get this sorted in the next release.

Don't trouble yourself, I can work with BatchArtFinder, I will just work with smaller batches.

It's no trouble. I would like to sort this problem out as although it's not something I've ever experienced, it's obviously something that a number of users are. I'd like to fix it if I can!

This fails to work on my system running vista ,spent hours and hours of my time trying to get it going ,anyone running this ok in vista ?
what else can i use ,i really need something like this !!! to save me alot of manual inputting

[trixmoto]

Well I haven't tried it yet on Vista, as I only have MM3 on my Vista machine and this script is not MM3 compatible yet. You should definitely make sure that MM program or shortcut has the "Run as administrator" ticked in the properties, otherwise the downloaded images will not be created (or might go into the VirtualStore folders).
