[SlimDevices: Plugins] LMS Artwork Configuration...would a plugin be *possible*?

[jstraw]

OK, before I ask my question...I *know*..."fix your tags."

I'm not fixing my tags. If that bothers you to the point of lecturing
me, please consider ignoring this thread entirely.

Would it be possible to write a plugin that takes control over artwork
handling by LMS? Ideally it would be user configurable. I'd like it to
allow me to enforce rules. My rules would be as follows, someone else'
might be different.


- If a track has embedded art, default to this. If not, then:
- Default folder art. If not, then:
- Default to folder art a level up, or a level up, or...
- If no folder art is found all the way to the top level, use
placeholder art.
- NEVER guess.



Ideally, the plugin would let me provide a top-level placeholder of my
own.

My question is such a plugin *possible*?

Everything is possible.
Remember 50 Years ago we (The Americans with the help of some Germans)
get two Man to the Moon.

To get these 2 to the moon another one has to stay near the moon and +
400.000 must work a long time for that.

So Earland does a lot of very stressed plugins and all these tricks
might work at some point. We dont know the LMS Future.

Again - Its possible but you need some real energy to write such a
plugin.
Good luck

I doubt it - artwork handling is part of LMS core, and I don't think it
can be overridden by a plugin.
What would be possible is a plugin which runs during the music import
scan and copies / symlinks the artwork found according to your rules to
the location where LMS expects them (this could of course also be done
by a stand-alone script).

The two first pionts is already there . Given that you use one album one
folder . Ie artist/album/track

LMS uses the embedded art in the first track of an album then it loks in
the album folder for folder.jpg or front.jpg or cover.jpg then i think
it uses whatever it can find .

But it does not go over or above this .

Then there is a plugin that downloads cover art for you or is it
standard nowadays :) sometimes i don’t remener whats a plugin or a
standard feature.
