2 years ago - yes, that is the case (unless you use
--force) - In a way, yes.
no-skipflushes the temp file that marked artwork you had already failed to find before.forceignores that temp file completely. - You might be onto something here. If a folder contains songs with multiple artwork but they're all using the same filename then not only will the same
xfolder.jpgfile get overwritten multiple times, but if a query fails then it will skip the rest of that folder regardless of metadata. Honestly, if you have files with different album metadata in the same folder, then I would avoid using--art-dest-inlineand such.

I unleashed get_cover_art on a folder containing 1707 folders, each folder representing an album. It ran as expected and hit the occasional
WARNING: Request limit exceeded from itunes.apple.com, trying again in 3.0 seconds...following which it would resume and continue where it left off. At some point it hit a folder containing a compilation/various artists album with 48 tracks.At that point I got many hundreds of sequential
WARNING: Request limit exceeded from itunes.apple.com, trying again in 3.0 seconds...messages with no further cover art being downloaded.Counting the number of instances of xfolder.jpg present in the tree after I'd terminated get_cover_art it shows that 998 folders had cover art added, meaning in all likelihood some number of over 1000 folders were processed.
Looking at the output from --verbose ... 100's of lines of:
I'm not sure whethe it was the 48 track folder or the fact that itunes.apple.com will have been polled many (possibly thousands of times over by this juncture), but my guess is itunes.apple.com had decided I'd had enough and it wasn't dealing with traffic originating from my IP address anymore. I get that the timeout happened, and I get why, but I have some questions:
Questions:
--no-skipget overriden by--force?get_cover_art --no-embed --art-dest-inline --art-size 9999 --art-dest-filename xfolder.jpg --verbosei.e. without--forcedoes that mean get_cover_art will skip over any folders already containingxfolder.jpgor is it using another method/stored list to figure out what's been previously processed?
