Its a valid scenario but shouldn't you store the rotating cdart per songs albumpath? e.g say an album is split in /foo/part1 /foo/part2 you'd want it to have /foo/part1/cdart.png /foo/part2/cdart.png (Its normal if you consider multidisk albums, atleast I store them almost like that).
So you could do something like
Code:
for each song in GetSongs(albumid)
if (not file.Exist(StripFilePath(song["file"]) + 'cdart.png'))
DownloadCDArt()This way it would cover the multidisk for free, yeah it would be a tad more work that just getting the paths but not a whole lot.
I haven't really dabbled with the cdart stuff so I might very well be missing something though
Also if so many skins use it this might want to get proper support in core.

keep up the good work!
Something we for sure want, hopefully everything will be in place for that in eden. (waiting on a better image library for it).
Will also hopefully support transcoding of video with the same goal.

hm why waiting for a better image library? the pictures are jpegs and there are plenty of jpeg decoders around. i think this shouldnt be the problem? or what are you missing from the existing jpeg decoders?

I need to decode, scale then encode again. Can't be done with our current (just a decoder).
Eden will, most likely, have a new image library which can do it though.

What about ImageMagick? Ok it might be a bit of an overkill but it can do all kinds of conversions very easily. I'm not sure about the lincense though. It's a custom license which requires attribution but can be used in commercial products as well.

Short story, its done on linux but win32 is being the usual bitch.At any rate, it was discussed on devcon and I've began work with using freeimage (really low dependency and works on most platforms already). My progress can be followed https://github.com/topfs2/xbmc/tree/freeimage

topfs2 Wrote:http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8992Hm ok I have already used ImageMagick in Win32 but always as a DLL. Maybe I can look into it and figure it out. But I can't test on OSX either (or does it work there already?)

If you could on win32 that would be awesome. For osx I think its less of a headache, not perfect but its closer to linux and just have some weird dependencies which we need to get rid off (should be fine if we compile it ourself)

Yeah its quite good, I really dislike the windows API they use though but if we choose to use it patching that away and sending it upstream is probably something they will like also.

I also store my music that way and each part(or cd) will get the matching cdART(as they often have different artwork between multiple discs).
I have added a couple of JSON calls to my script already and found it really has increased the speed of the database search(even though a direct query only takes about 2mins to retrieve the info from my music library of about 400 Album Artists and 1400 Albums.)
If I can get the path from the song, it would probably be one extra step. I'll look into it an see where I can get. I do like the fact I can get almost all the information from a single call(GetAlbumDetails).
I'm not surprised that you haven't had much of a chance to check out cdART, you developers have been working hard to produce such an excellent media system. I think of cdART another 'Look at what we can do' what showcases XBMC is. I think cdART was created during a feature freeze and the skinners have done an excellent job of creating a stable feature. I guess cdART is somewhat similar to how FanArt started...
I'll look into grabbing the Album path from the song info...
Thanks..

How can I remove files from the current playlist? I can jump to a file in the playlist by using AudioPlaylist.Play with an index. However, when I use AudioPlaylist.Remove with an index, nothing happens. I also tried Playlist.Remove with no luck. Has this feature been implemented yet?

+1 for this.
Although i see a CAVPlaylistOperations::Remove in AVPlaylistOperations.cpp, i get a "Method not found" when trying to call AudioPlaylist.Remove in RC1
