If the cataloging and display of local artist images ends up working well, is there a chance that it could be incorporated into the base server, rather than a plugin? IMO, the ideal would be to make it a part of the standard library scanning.
I like the idea of using a single folder for all contributor images, but not if it means that album artwork would also be searched for in that folder. It might require a new artwork folder pref. The scanner would also need to search for images for albumartist, composer (if they appear in the artist list - I don't remember) and any other tags from which contributors are compiled in the database. You'll need to create and publish some standard rules for character substitutions of illegal characters in names so that a filename can be derived from all names. For instance, if I have the artist Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown then the corresponding image filename would have to be something like Clarence Gatemouth Brown.jpg or Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown.jpg or Clarence -Gatemouth- Brown.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
