I was wondering if it would be possible to have the script scrape the track numbers and appropriate disc numbers.
When I try to run a multi-disc batch through the script, it never grabs disc numbers, and the track numbers don't reset for the separate discs. It looks something like:
Original Disc/Track - New Disc/Track
Disc 1/Track 37 No Disc/Track 37
Disc 1/Track 38 No Disc/Track 38
Disc 2/Track 1 No Disc/Track 39
Disc 2/Track 2 No Disc/Track 40
etc etc etc etc
I looked through the script and XML, and it looks like it would be possible, but I don't really know enough about scripting to make it do the work. I'd also assume it would need some sort of counting/math function to determine what the total number of discs or tracks are, but that seems like gravy. Just raw numbers, like Disc 3/Track 6 would be great.
I looked through a few other scripts for reference, and it seems like most of them don't even grab those values, so I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I figured I'd ask. Would very much appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance.
I am not the original script author, and I have tested this on exactly one album so far. But it's a really simple change you can all make yourselves and report any problems and maybe I'll post an updated version.
Go to the directory where you installed the script originally. Make a copy of any script you're changing (either move it to a new folder or you can just rename the one you change as BETA or something).
This is for the "VGMDB Search by Album" version 0.4 originally dated Jan 2 2013.
Open your favorite text editor. On line 88 you should see a section "coverurl". We're going to change that section down to where the comment #set coverurl is. Replace with this block:
# Coverurl
outputto "coverurl"
findline "id=\"coverart\""
findinline "background-image: url("
if "'"
movechar 1
sayuntil "'"
endif
# set "coverurl"
Save the file. You don't need to restart mp3tag if it's already running, but do at least cancel any open dialogs.
If you find a non-working example, please include the album title, the URL to find it at VGMDB, and a brief description or screenshot of what fields you are getting and what fields are blank.
I now see what you mean by that... I wanted the cover art to be not bigger but now it's too big. Do you know any way to get cover art from amazon? That's where I was getting them from before but It would be much easier if there was a src file to help the process...
IMHO cover art can't be big enough.
You know that Mp3tag can resize your cover(s) with a right click on a cover in the tag panel and "Adjust cover"? You can manually choose every size you want.
I don't know, something about covers from vgmdb.net is odd, if I compare to the cover from amazon and other sites the image just seems to be a lot more saturated, and some times with the size of the cover it even lags a bit...
VGMDB has been getting a number of updates in the last couple of days that have broken the script, so if anyone is able to update it that would be appreciated.
