CopyCover (amaroK Script)

Submitted: Apr 1 2005
Updated: Oct 21 2007

Description:

Copy the cover of current playing track to the song's dir. Does not overwrite
existing images in this folder. The filenames can be configured with the
"Configure" dialog. By default, it's the album's name, with spaces replaced
by underscores.

An "offline" version is also included. If you have amaroK >= 1.2.3,
launch it and run the script on the command line. It will find all the downloaded covers and copy them in the right directory, just as the amarok plugin would have done. It also creates the desktop files.
Make sure you first run the script with the "-d" option (debug mode), in which
the actions will only be printed, not commited. A --help option is available.
AmaroK >= 1.2.3 and python >= 2.3 are required for this offline version.

The copycover-offline.py and addcoverdirs.sh scripts are NOT meant to be run through Amarok's script manager.

Changelog:

ChangeLog:
Version: 1.9 Date: 2007/10/21
- fix queries when the database is in MySQL
- tell the session manager not to restart the script on login

Version: 1.8 Date: 2007/02/17
- fix the copycover-offline.py script to use the new device path feature of
Amarok. Thanks to all those who sent me a patch.

Version: 1.7 Date: 2006/10/19
- fixes for Amarok 1.4
- progress bar on the offline version
- use large images when available

Version: 1.6 Date: 2005/05/31
- bugfixes for the "remove covers" option
Thanks a lot to Gleb Litvjak and KNT for that.
- write debuginfo to ~/.xsession-errors by default

Hi,

I really like your script, though i probably use it for something else then the rest of you guys do. I guess you use this script to set the album cover as the folder icon?
I use it for my mp3 player (Cowon iAudio A2), which can display album covers. This mp3 player detects whether you have a cover.jpg in the folder of the song you are playing. If it is, it displays this image, else, it displays the default empty cd icon. The problem of using this script for that purpose is that my mp3 player only supports jpg's as album cover, no png's. Just renaming cover.png to cover.jpg doesn't fool my mp3 player.
So i had to think of another solution: change the script. I editted addcoverdirs.sh, and replaced all png's with jpg's and all jpg's by png's. It didn't work though, because the python script doesn't use addcoverdirs.sh. (I needed some time to find that out :P)
Now i got it working, but i have to run the script each time an cover has been added. Is there a possibility to implent this feature in the python script?

By the way: i had to change musicdirs="awk command" to musicdirs="/path/to/music", because "awk -F "=" '/^Collection Folders/ {print $2}' ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc" doesn't give any results. (amarokrc does exist)

Then something else: is it, or will it be, possible for amarok to copy the cover.jpg automatically to my mp3 player, that would be great. (you can just drag and drop files to the iaudio a2, it doesn't use any database)
Maybe this would be a nice feature for amarok 2.0? Please let me know if you would like that feature too. (maybe i will submit a mockup for amarok)

I've seen a little script to convert the png to jpg here: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30263&postcount=18

You could run it after the sync.
I think an option in CopyCover to choose if the cover should saved as png or jpg would be nice.

Hi
my Laptop seemed recently incredibly slow. So I checked what process it is that slows the system down and I discovered about 80 python processes that all use exactly 3.3MB of Ram space. by indicating them with ps -x I discovered that they are all rutines of your copycover script.
While researching how they get started I discovered that each time Amarok is running in the system tray while I shut down or Amarok is not closed correctly there is a remaining process. and cute KDE restarts all of them every time again when I start my computer atempting to restore the last session. even if amarok is not started.

so please include in your script:
# a way to test wether amarok is running
# a way to test wether another rutine of the script is already running

If you have an instance of a QApplication all you need to insert is the following method:
Quote:

def saveState(self, sessionmanager):
# script is started by amarok, not by KDE's session manager
sessionmanager.setRestartHint(QSessionManager.RestartNever)

How can I schedule copycover-offline.py to run at a certain time every night?
I tried crontab, but it only produces the error:
"AmaroK must be running. Please launch it and restart this script."
Even though Amarok is running...

You have to set your DISPLAY variable. Add "DISPLAY=:0" in front of the command call, that should do it (it's a common problem: using cron with graphical apps. I'm sure you favorite search engine will help you)

Now I have scheduled Amarok to scan its collection for changes every night, and two hours later to run the copycover offline script :-)

Hi. The script version works great, but I can't get the offline version to work.

$ ./copycover-offline.py -d
Running in debug mode. No change will be done.

-Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./copycover-offline.py", line 129, in <module>
for file in os.listdir(album_path):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '0'

running Ubuntu Feisty, Python 2.5.1

Hi,

I had the same problem and found a solution. Apparently, one of the SQL queries does not work correctly, at least not with MySQL

You have to change line 112 to this:

dcop_albums = commands.getoutput('''dcop amarok collection query "SELECT DISTINCT album.name, CONCAT(devices.lastmountpoint,'/',tags.dir) FROM tags, album, devices ''' \

Now, CONCAT is used instead of the || operator.

This works with Ubuntu 7.04, Pyhton 5.2.1 and Amarok 1.4.7 using MySQL 5.0.38-Ubuntu_0ubuntu1.1-log as database.

I hope this helps,
Wolf

Thanks, that worked perfectly. Now I'm trying to modify it so it copies every album art to a single folder, named %Album%Artist.%ext, so my mp3 player recognises it. If anyone has done anything similar, please post :)

Cheers.

It didn't work for me, the query that did work was SELECT DISTINCT album.name, tags.dir FROM album JOIN tags ON album.id = tags.album WHERE tags.artist = %s I'm using Python 2.4.4, Mysql 5.0.44.

Same for me. Using the 'devices' table in the query seems to exclude all the albums stored in my root partition

Unfortunately PostgreSQL does not have a CONCAT function, but uses '||' as the string concat operator :-(
