Hello I don't know if it is a solution but before, I noticed that it always do like 43 before it fails. Now I have limites the search to 40 and it never fails, even when I press next, the search continues without problems... Crossing my fingers!!

Cheers!

[quote="trixmoto"]Try this commend in the "Run" box, or a command prompt window...

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\msinet.ocx" /s

...making sure that you correct the path if necessary.[/quote]

I did this it seemed to work but I still recived the errors. I tried again with the /s to see the error. The error is:

The module "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\Msinet.ocx" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c.

My solution was to create a .bat file and paste in the regsrv32 command (without the /s). I then ran the batch file as administrator. It worked.

i.e. the regsrv32 command must be run as administrator on Win 7 it is not sufficient for user to have administrator rights.

Hi, I had the same problem, it looks like google image blocks somehow the mass download the script does. Trixmoto is looking into that. But in the mean time, set the maximum search to 40 items at a time, and you cannot do them back to back, you need to let some time betweem your search. Ideally, I found that it is better if I close the screen after each 40 result, somehow it just work for half of the image in alternance when using next... These are my tricks, good luck!

Unable to pull from google. When I checked the debug script pulling up the thumbnail address from the search results which don't have an extension so its kicking them out. Know enough code and SQL to look at the script and kinda know whats going on but not enough to fix it.

debug shows:

8:36:49 AM @http://images.google.com/images?q=Evane ... F-8&sout=1
8:36:49 AM Image '/images/srpr/nav_logo39.png' is ok (album:1 found:1)
8:36:49 AM Image 'http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... a8q61glYUA' is wrong type: COM/IMAGES?Q=TBN:AND9GCSS1E9O5AI8LIVZBKNZXSRFISNDL9ONQQJJG-CZXBP8THDYA8Q61GLYUA (album:1)

ADDED the "&sout=1" to do a basic search thinking that was maybe the issue.

And when doing more than the batched albums (I do 10) I don't get the next option, just does the 10, asks me again if I wanna process "x" albums, then does the same previous 10

Using windows 7 64 bit, with IE9 installed , default browser is Chrome

Help or advice? BTW AWESOME SCRIPTS!

Yes, it's on my list to take a look at what Google have changed, but I haven't had a chance yet, sorry.

Hi,

I'm using 4.1 on Win 7 x64 with IE9. I know not to expect results from Google (I read the last 4 pages of this thread). I know I need to regsvr32 my msinet.ocx in admin mode from a batch file (did that).

So I'm using "rateyourmusic" for the images and when the image is right, I can save, and all is good. When the first image is wrong and I click "next image" (and it has more than one image result) nothing happens. Back on XP, I always got an activeX prompt at that point and I selected "yes please, gimme some of that" and all proceeded as normal. Now though, on this new machine, when I click next image (or edit query) nothing happens at all. I made a debug log but there was nothing interesting in there - just the 23 images the search returned, but nothing about me having clicked next image.

I've tried reducing the security level for local intranet and internet zone, but nothing doing. I've tried Manage Addons in IE9 and selected All Addons but I don't see anything there that's disabled.

Stuck with first-image-only syndrome, and I've tried with all the search providers in the list. Even when the trixmeister gets google back on track, it's not going to help unless they happen to be lucky and provide the right image first time every time.

Go to your temp folder %temp% while your running the script, open BatchArtFinder.htm in ie9 and take a look at what its doing and play around with your security settings until you get the ie9 warning at the bottom about activeX.

Thats gotta suck BTW about the first RYM image... mine always pulls up the black background square as the first image, and then the album I'm looking for isnt until WAY farther in the image results. And the only sizes I pull up are 150x150 most of the time. Seems to me that with only the album as a search parameter in RYM its kinda hit and miss

@Trix: NP... just wondering if it was me or not cuz people seemed to have posted recently that they got google to work

I've tried that and nothing seems to help. I did notice IE complained about a missing curly brace on line 203 or so.

Here's the errors it put out:

Thanks for that suggestion. I tried that, loaded up IE9, dropped that file onto it and immediately got the warning at the bottom of the browser window about the scripting and activex usage being blocked and offered me an "allow" button. I've spent an hour f@$#ing around with IE9's various bu11$#!t activex settings and I've given up. Anyone considering getting Windows 7, don't do it, get XP instead. I hate this garbage.

I've got all the album art I need for now (via google searches by hand) and added them using the manual load. I'll grab the 4.2 when it comes out because the google search is way better at getting a suitable image in result #1 than RYM is. No hurry for me for now though

Question... does all this work off your default browser or IE by default?

Question... does all this work off your default browser or IE by default?

My default browser is Chrome. I just did a quick batch art find with Fiddler running and saw that it was opening IE, but IE was sending MSIE 7.0 in the http headers so it was defaulting to IE7 compatibility mode. So it definitely doesn't use the default browser. It must launch IE itself rather than just launch using the http shortcut (which would have opened Chrome for me).

[trixmoto]

It uses an IE OCX, no other browser has an OCX because it's a Microsoft thing, so you can't connect to the browser and display it within another application, like you can with IE. IE8+9 both run in IE7 compatibility mode when you use an OCX (which I only discovered at work last week) but can be made to run in the current mode using a meta tag.
