cdArt on Albums Level possible?

ekim232 · 2011-01-07 07:27

I have been trying to get my cdart's to show on the album level but I can't seem to get them to show. I can on songs level but it is a no go with albums.

My music structure is

Music
--Artist
---Album
---song.mp3
---cdart.png

If anyone knows the proper coding to get it to show it would be a big help! Tried to search for it, but cdart brings up a large amount of results!

Thanks

since there's no path associated with albums, it's not easy to get this done.

the code i use to reconstruct the path myself:

Code:

<texture>$INFO[Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path)]$INFO[ListItem.Artist]$INFO[ListItem.Album,/,/cdart.png]</texture>

Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path) must point to the root of your music folder.
also Artist and Album names must exactly match the folder names.

Thanks Ronie

I was hoping for a method with out having to do a skin.string, so I might just have to forget about it for now.

So do we have to set Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path)?

yup, you'll have to make a skin setting so the user can select their music folder.

Ok did that, and tested the label and it IS pulling the folder location BUT still no cdart on album level.

Code:

<control type="button" id="514">

<width>900</width>

<height>40</height>

<font>Simplicity_20</font>

<label>Set Music Folder For CD Art [color=grey3] (Your Root Music Folder)[/color]</label>

<label2>[color=selected]$INFO[Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path)][/color]</label2>

<textcolor>white</textcolor>                            <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>                            <texturefocus border="0,2,0,2">simplicity/button-focus.png</texturefocus>                        

<texturenofocusborder="0,2,0,2">simplicity/menuitemnf.png</texturenofocus>

<onclick>Skin.SetString(Music_Folder_Path)</onclick>

</control>

Code:

<texture fallback="cd/default.png">$INFO[Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path)]$INFO[ListItem.Artist]$INFO[ListItem.Album,/,/cdart.png]</texture>

weird, no errors at all.
it should log an error though if it's unable to find the cdart image...

sorry, but i have no clue at this point.
