Country: | Hi, Since I've got about 4000 artists in my music database I got kind of tired of manually downloading thumbnails for each artist so I wrote a quick and dirty perl script that grabs artist images from last.fm. To run the script do the following: 1) Download and install ActivePerl from activestate.com, the script has been tested with v5.8.8 2) Download the attached perl script and save it in a folder 3) Create a folder named "Artists" in the same folder as the downloaded script 4) Copy the database musicdatabase5.db3 from <drive>:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database to the same folder as the script 5) Execute the script 6) Copy the downloaded jpegs from "Artists" to <drive>:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\music\artists I know that there are several bugs but it enables me to download 70% of images, the script is able to handle scandinavian/german characters. (Someone else has probably already done this but I like sharing). Cheers, Martin |
