Write cover album art to MP3s, organize files, iTunes import

[c0ld]

It would be nice if this script could correctly deal with image files that are already included with the NZB. At the moment it just ignores them, then trips up when it tries to delete the directory because it isn't empty. Only way round it is to set the removeimage flag to true, but then you lose both image files. How about if, before it checks amazon, it first checks the folder for image files matching a RE (*front*, *cover*, etc) then renames it to what is in the config file and uses it as the cover, then deletes the other images (back, cd etc) or maybe, moves them along with the mp3s when it cleans, copies, renames etc

[c0ld]

The problem with that is that sab doesn't save in the correct manner, ie /artist/album. I could also get itunes to do the sorting, but it also ignores image files and trips up while trying to delete.

I set this up on windows last night, its great and it cuts out a few steps in sorting, but just wondering if it is possible in the future to have a little more control over the folder and file naming?
My gf tagged all the music it is like this:

(Folder ) Artist/Rel Year - Album
(File) Artist - Album - Track No - Track Name

If in the future you could customise the naming then i could just set my final location for my ablums and let it go!

Does the windows exe work with the current version of SAB?
All I recieve in the script output is: "Request unsuccessful." (With no changes made to the files\tags)
Also, does the exe version not need the amazon dev key?

Thanks.

I'm on 0.5 beta 6 and it just worked for me.

[madlan]

Hi Zakharm, could you detail anything that may help? What options have you set in your config file etc?

Thanks.

[zakharm]

Are you on the latest beta or still on 0.4.12?
Did you try the script on multiple downloads?  If you've only used it on one, try a second different one.

I've uploaded the INI to pastebin

[madlan]

Thanks for that, I've posted mine as a reference in reply to yours - I cannot see any difference that would cause it to fail though - strange.
Did you add an exception to the firewall for the app or something?

What do you get in the script log? I'm getting:

It seems to be attempting to find the album using the album and artist names but not sure if its sucessful or not? (Its not renaming any files or pulling artwork down etc)

I'm also on 0.5 beta 6

Is your script closed source on win now it's a compiled exe?

Thanks for your help,
madlan.

[zakharm]

It looks like it is firing off correctly, but you've disabled the embedding of art and you might not want to have the art that the scripts downloads as Folder.jpg as that might create a file conflict

YOUR ENTRY
[art]
imagefile = Folder.jpg
remove_imagefile = False
embed_art = False

CHANGE BACK TO
[art]
imagefile = album_cover.jpg
remove_imagefile = True  #this removes album_cover.jpg when done processing - stay away from Folder.jpg
embed_art = True


I'm not sure why your tracks wouldn't be renamed though.

[madlan]

Hi Zakharm, I wanted to create a folder.jpg rather than embed in each mp3, Windows media center picks up the folder.jpg and uses this rather than embedding.
Do you have to py script? I can run this directly and log some output that may help.

As a test I will try with the options you mentioned.

Thanks,
madlan.

[madlan]

Problem solved,  I was running the script from the scripts folder, after reading our instructions again I see it needs to be in the sab root folder.

Thanks for helping me!

Hi,

thanks for all the work to provide this script - I would love to use it. Unfortunately I keep getting an error on OSX 10.6.2 with Sabnzbd+ 0.5.0 RC3:

Code: Select all

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/XXX/Downloads/SABScripts/write_album_art.py", line 24, in <module>
    import sys, os, fnmatch, re, urllib, eyeD3, shutil, string, ConfigParser
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available

Any idea what goes wrong?

TIA

[zakharm]

I've written many posts on these forums to figure this out and the only answer I've seen for the Mac is to upgrade you Python install.  Snow Leopard comes with Python 2.6, so I don't understand why you have to upgrade, but that is what I'm told.

Let me know if you upgrade your Python and it works!  (I haven't tried it yet)

It's a bug.
