Hi all
I'm playing around with an add-on and want to do a check to see if Album Art exists in the application. The file might be harder??

Can someone please tell me what property is used to display it in an addon. I've searched through a few that display album art but can't seem to locate it??

It should be something like SBproperties.****************

Its SBproperties.primaryImageURL and it returns a file:/// URL

Here a little check to see if the file exists (I didn't write this code on my own):

Code:

/**
* aMediaItem : The media item the album art should be checked on existence
* mAlbumArtUrl : the URL of the album art picture
*/
if (aMediaItem) mAlbumArtUrl = aMediaItem.getProperty(SBProperties.primaryImageURL);
    
    try{
      var ios = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"].
            getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
      var fileurl = ios.newURI(mAlbumArtUrl, null, null);
      fileurl instanceof Components.interfaces.nsIFileURL;
      if (fileurl instanceof Components.interfaces.nsIFileURL && !fileurl.file.exists())
        mAlbumArtUrl = null;
    }catch(e){
      
    }

If you need the file path itself, getting the path via resolving the URL is required, at least on Windows I remember that there were resource:// urls instead of file:// urls sometimes, which cannot be parsed directly.

Yeah something seems a bit screwed up with where one should find things.

I know that the Album Art can reside in the source file and in NG, probably as a link to a file somewhere too. I suspect that the best one to use is the one from NG as it's probably quicker (my tunes are stored on an external drive) which is why I thought that there may be a simple property that you could determine was null or not as the case may be. Seems a bit harder than that though. I'll have a go with what I originally intended when I get some time.
