Help with Album Art API

[emilles]

Hello. I am working on adding additional features to an output plug-in. To that end, I am trying to get the album art for the currently playing track. I have had reasonable success in working with the SDK version 5.55 to get the album art of an mp3 with the cover art embedded within the ID3 tag (see below). I have not been able to successfully get the album art for a file where the artwork is linked using the artwork browser provided in Winamp (mp3 and jpg are in same directory). Is it possible to get the artwork for a track that is in an external file through the plug-in APIs?

I am including below what I am currently doing from my output plug-in. Excess checks and what not have been removed to keep it focused on happy path...

code:


	_apiService = reinterpret_cast<api_service*>(

		SendMessage(_playerWindow, WM_WA_IPC, 0, IPC_GET_API_SERVICE));

	if (_apiService == reinterpret_cast<api_service*>(1)) {

		// service interface not supported

		_apiService = NULL;

	} else if (_apiService != NULL) {

		_memMgmtServiceFactory =

			_apiService->service_getServiceByGuid(memMgrApiServiceGuid);

		_memMgmtService =

			reinterpret_cast<api_memmgr*>(_memMgmtServiceFactory->getInterface());

		_albumArtServiceFactory =

			_apiService->service_enumService(svc_albumArtProvider::getServiceType(), 0);

		_albumArtService =

			reinterpret_cast<svc_albumArtProvider*>(_albumArtServiceFactory->getInterface());

	}



	if (_albumArtService != NULL && _memMgmtService != NULL) {

		void*    imageData = 0;

		size_t   imageSize = 0;

		wchar_t* imageType = 0;

		const int returnCode = _albumArtService->GetAlbumArtData(

			filePath, L"cover", &imageData, &imageSize, &imageType);

		if (returnCode == 0) {

			assert(imageData != NULL && imageSize > 0 && imageType != NULL);

			artworkData.resize(imageSize);

			std::memcpy(&artworkData[0], imageData, imageSize);

			_memMgmtService->sysFree(imageData);

			ConvertWideCharStringToUTF8(imageType, artworkType);

			artworkType = "image/" + artworkType;

			_memMgmtService->sysFree(imageType);

		}

	}
