add albumart from vlc downloaded art folder (or any similar folder structure)

[ba...@seznam.cz]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a script that would add albumart into mp3 files I have that don't have one.
As I don't know python I'm doing it in bash.

pictures are in $HOME/.cache/vlc/art/artistalbum/<artist>/<album>/
songs are in  $HOME/Hudba/no_art/
and the script is:

#!/bin/bash

#changes delimetres
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=""

# process all mp3 files
ls $HOME/.cache/vlc/art/artistalbum/*/*/* | while read FILE ; do
        ARTIST="${FILE%\/*\/*}"      
        ARTIST="${ARTIST##*/}"
       
        ls $HOME/Hudba/no_art/* | while read SONGFILE; do
                NAME="${SONGFILE##*/}"            
                NAME="${NAME% -*}"      #name of artist (from songfile)
                         
                if [ "$NAME" = "$ARTIST" ]
                    then eyeD3 --add-image=$FILE:FRONT_COVER  $SONGFILE
                    #echo "FILE $FILE"
                    #echo "SONGFILE $SONGFILE"
                fi
        done
done

#restores delimetres
IFS=$SAVEIFS

eyeD3 reports no errors and actually says that image was stored into file (+ eyeD3 <songfile> reports that image is stored there .. even with correct size), but when I look with some graphical id3 editor - there either isn't image , there is error , or some distorted image is displayed ...

When I go through script without the loops (i.e. manualy sets $FILE and $SONGFILE), then a picture is inserted without problems (i.e. I can see it in graphical id3 editor)

Thank you much for reading and if you could offer any help I would be grateful.

Bye,
Sip

Hi, Sip.

Not sure about the entire script, but 'eyeD3
--add-image=$FILE:FRONT_COVER $SONGFILE' seems to work when passed
the
right values. I might suggest it may be a shell quoting problem, but
I've experimented. Good luck.
