Re: Album Cover Art - Finally a Fix

lemonato,

Sorry about the non-reply, missed it in my last round of responses.

So based on your tests here is how I am currently thinking of enhancing VMC Album Art Fixer for the xbox extender:
  • Add a check box for the extender in the main dialog
  • If the extender box is checked, add an input box for the extender path
  • Populate the input box with default "C:\Users\Mcx1\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player\Art Cache\LocalMLS" path (allow for browsing alternate path, save path in ini)
  • When Fix Album art is clicked, run through normal fix process, once completed, if extender check box is ticked move currentdatabase_360.wmdb from C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player (Exact path extrapolated from Default Windows Album Art Folder input box) to a temp directory.

    Then copy currentdatabase_360.wmdb from C:\Users\Mcx1\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player (Exact path extrapolated from the extender path input box) to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player (Exact path extrapolated from Default Windows Album Art Folder input box)

    Then run the fix/copy process as normal, but output the jpgs to the chosen extender path.

    Finally move back the currentdatabase_360.wmdb from the temp directory to the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player (Exact path extrapolated from Default Windows Album Art Folder input box)
I believe I have that logic correct, as mentioned before, I have no Xbox to test with so I will developing this blind. If you believe my thinking above to be correct please let me know and I will write the code and send a beta version for you to you to test.

Cheers,

Pete.
