NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Google instead of Bing for Artowrk search
« on: October 23, 2024, 08:15:28 AM »
Hi

I really don't like Bing for searching artwork for my files as it does not find what google find easily.

I would like to know if there is a setting somewhere that allow me to change that ? And if not if it can be change in the future (as it was before)

Thanks

Ysl

Where are you using bing within wacup? I've got to assume that's probably a skin specific feature as the artwork look-up I use via sacad irrespective of skin type doesn't use it afaict.

Options -> Web Content -> select google though I'm tempted to remove that block of options & the initial menu from your screenshot since other parts of the player can effectively do a better job.

Great !

Remove it if you want as I usually click on the first line (Artist name) on the right of the cover art to do the same thing (looking for the album art on the web)

Also, I'm still hoping to see the display of the Track/Total track somewhere...

Thank you for this great program which does (almost) everything :)

You'll need to edit the skin to do that which will likely require editing & compile maki script files to achieve it - is probably better for you to do it (per this for some of the ways to go about doing it) or find someone willing to do it for you as you'll know where in the ui you're wanting it to appear, etc.

Thanks !

I don't know anything about scripting but maybe someone would be able to change the STEREO text with the Track/total track ?

Thanks again :)
