Hi, I am trying to develop a script to get de cover from the id3 tags, but I got a couple of questions.

1) To get the information about the current playing track in the DB I use the "path" to obtain the "url id" and, finally, the "track id". I think this is not the best way to get this info, so... ¿another way, please?

2) The images stored in disk have some kind of hash format i'm not able to understand. I was thinking that my script should store the images in the same way as amarok does when it downloads a cover from the web. ¿Could anybody explain how to generate this hash name?

Thank you very much.

Sure. In Ruby code it looks like this (I guess you can translate that to JavaScript easily):

Code: Select all

MD5.hexdigest( "#{artist.downcase()}#{album.downcase()}" )

That was it, thanks.

Hello again, I'm finishing the script and last thing to do is to place the image in the coveart folder. I'm using the "Amarok Script Console" and I don't know how to get this folder. Could anybody give me a suggestion, please?
