Album Art Downloader / Bugs / #23 Crash when running AlbumArt.exe in a batch

AlexVallat - 2009-06-12

Thank you for reporting this.

Could you try adding the commands:

E:
cd "\User Shell Folders\kNiL\Foobar\Album Art Downloader\"

to your batch file before calling AlbumArt.exe, to see if it is the current path that it causing the problem? That will give me a clue as to the problem.

I have tried this. The error is still the same.

This is now the batch code:

e:
cd "%foobar%\Album Art Downloader"
cd
pause
echo on
AlbumArt.exe /ar %1 /al %2 /p "%saveto%\%~1~~%~2~~%%type%%~~0.%%extension%%" /minsize 300 /maxsize 1000 /ac

This is the console output:

E:\User Shell Folders\kNiL\Foobar\Album Art Downloader
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

E:\User Shell Folders\kNiL\Foobar\Album Art Downloader>AlbumArt.exe /ar "Various
Artists" /al "Bravo Hits 26" /p "D:! Media! Audio Covers\Various Artists~~Bra
vo Hits 26~~%type%~~0.%extension%" /minsize 300 /maxsize 1000 /ac
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

Thanks for the tip. Any other ideas?

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug here, and I can't think of any reason it should occur in a batch file and not when run normally.

As it occurs when trying to read configuration settings, it might be worth trying to reset those, to see if the problem goes away.

To do this, delete the Album Art Downloader configuration data folder:

\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\AlbumArtDownloader

Thanks for your help.

I have tried this. AA then compiles scripts but crashed with the same error.

The error message says a part of the path couldnt be found. Fact is, there is no "Various Artist" folder there. So I guess its a temp folder. If so, I dont understand why AA tries to use "E:\User Shell Folders\kNiL\Foobar\Album Art Downloader\Various Artists\kbfkk6kn.tmp" as temp folder. My system defaults to D:\temp.

Maybe this helps you finding the error.

Thanks for the help.

No, I don't understand why it is using that path either. It appears to be the .net XmlSerializer class that is using it, but I can't figure out why it would decide on a path like that.

I've done a bit of searching, and apparently you can force it to use a specific folder by creating a text file called AlbumArt.exe.config in the Album Art Downloader folder, with the contents:
<configuration> <system.xml.serialization> <xmlSerializer tempFilesLocation="D:\\temp"/> </system.xml.serialization> </configuration>

OK. AA used the temp setting forced by AlbumArt.exe.config.
Now I get another error (or two errors?):

System.ArgumentException: Die SearchPathPatternHistory-Eigenschaft konnte nicht aus ihrem Standardwert erstellt werden. Fehlermeldung: Temporäre Klasse kann nicht generiert werden (result=1).
error CS0016: In die Ausgabedatei d:\TEMP\ppyar931.dll konnte nicht geschrieben werden -- Der Verzeichnisname ist ungültig. .

Translation:
The SearchPathPatternHistory-Property could not be generated by its defaults. Error: Temp class creation failed.
error CS0016: Could not write to file d:\TEMP\ppyar931.dll -- invalid folder.

But the folder d:\temp exists.

Thanks again for working on the debugging of this behavior.

Hmm... this can occur if the program is run under an account that does not have write permissions to that folder. I don't suppose you can think of any reason why that batch file might be running with different permissions than running Album Art Downloader normally?

I don't think its got something to do with permissions.
The Batch is usually run by Foobar2000 (component "Run Services"). But I just did the test and run the batch manually as user with administrator rights in the console (cmd.exe). Same error...

Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. If it isn't a permissions problem, and the folder does exist, I can't think of any reason why the XmlSerializer would be unable to write to it. Sorry.

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the .net Framework 3.5 SP1, but I wouldn't really expect it to change anything.

Argh! OK...
Just to make sure I provided any information that might help here I attached the last error.log.

Thank you for the support.
