RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Hellnino18 - 2012-07-10

Hi, I think it would be interesting to add an option to limit the number of backdrops downloaded by artists.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - boston85 - 2012-07-12

To keep Hellnino18 happy..Big Grin Here is the latest test version -> https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/script.cdartmanager/script.cdartmanager.2.7.0.zip

Code:
2.7.0
- Add - 'Edit by Artist' and 'Edit by Album' functions on Modify Database tab
- Add - Change MBIDs for both Artists and albums.  3 methods available - Manually Change the MBID, Manual Search MusicBrainz, Automatic Search using XBMC supplied info(the search provides upto 10 matches)
- Add - 'Find Missing MBIDs' for Albums and Artists
- Add - 'Refresh MBIDs - Automatic' For Albums and Artist, keeps database current with MusicBrainz
- Add - Setting to enable 'Refresh MBIDs' during database update - This will cause the script to take a while to update the database since it checks all MBIDs
- Add - Ability to Disable saving of missing.txt file
- Change - Redo some of the menu animations, allowing for more levels to the Advanced menu
- Fix - properly fix saving of missing.txt file to a VFS folder
- Add - Change MBID for Albums and Artists
- Change - moved matching of recognized artists to the start of the script, so it is only done once per run of program(also will run after a database update)

debug of cdart manager hanging on database retrieve. deleting script folder does not work
Got it to work after deleting it in the app data folder, i was deleting the script itself from the main programs folder, my bad


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - boston85 - 2012-07-12

Sorry to be a nag, after getting the cdart manager working everything looks good but the clear logos, they wont show up in AEON Nox or T!. I have my folder structure correct as far as how XBMC is concerned .

artist>
Album
extrafanart

do the logos have to be inside the extrafanart folder?

(2012-04-20, 07:05)giftie Wrote: For cdART Manager to work, your music needs to be scanned into XBMC's Music Library

For cdARTs and Cover art to work the Albums need to be in separate folders

For clearLOGOs and fanarts(including extrafanarts) Artists need to be in separate folders.(though not essential)

The perferred method of organizing the music is the following:

Music
-----> Artist1
-------------->Album1
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
-------------->Album2
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
-----> Artist2
-------------->Album1
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)
------------------------> track.mp3(.flac, .wav, .wmv)

Though this format is not enforced, just that the Albums need to be in separate folder, this is because cdARTs are placed in the Album level)

If you set the 'Path to Music Library' to an 'Artwork' path, the script will use this for storing the Artist Fanarts and clearLOGOs(and create folders as needed). This path should be matched to the one in the Skin's settings

If your music has been added to XBMC's music library and you are still having problems, please post a debug log file(see signature for instructions)

RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - giftie - 2012-07-13

Also you need to make sure that both the skin and the script's 'Path to music Library is exactly the same. Glad you got the script working. The script does try to delete the database file if it is faulty but Windows likes to lock files for a short time so the script is not always able to do so. This only happens on Windows. OSX, Linux and iOS will act differently.


I also try to keep the first two messages of this thread upto date with details about the script. The second one had links to the suggested method of folder layout.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - boston85 - 2012-07-13

Thanks guys, and I did read up Solidstrats, my folder structure is exactly like the post you pasted. My logos are working fine within my TV folders, i dont see why they wont work in my music structure. I have cdart manager pointing to h:/music and so is the skin


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - giftie - 2012-07-13

Could you post a debug log of you going through your Music library, where you would see the logos(Transparency! is preferred as I know the inner workings of the skin fairly well)



RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Ghostdivision - 2012-07-13

Forgive me if this has been asked, but is there any chance you could include an option to run on startup like Artwork downloader addon that way we can completely automate the process?


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - filthycatbox - 2012-07-14

I'm getting a script failed error every time I try to update the cdarts and fanarts with this new update. I'll post a log as soon as I'm able to.

RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - solidsatras - 2012-07-14

This time just a very quick and dirty test of v.2.7.0:

- Update Database
- Automatic Search of all items

One thing that caught my inexperienced eye:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><error><text>Your requests are exceeding the allowable rate limit (22.3, limit is 22.0 per 20 seconds). Please see http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XMLWebService for more information.</text><text>For usage, please see: http://musicbrainz.org/development/mmd</text></error>
Here is a full debug log

Besides that is seems to work just fine. Is there no progress bar for the "clean music option" or isn´t that implemented yet?
