I have developed a very simple plugin. This plugin displays album art in a large format.
In addition, It also lets you see any comments embedded in the file.
Click on the album art image, and if there are comments embedded in the file, they will be displayed.
Comments can be scrolled by clicking the up/down buttons underneath the comments.
Click the voice button on the far right underneath the comments, and the text will be read-aloud by the CF Text-To-Speech feature.
-Please note that Voice functionality must be enabled in CF for this to work.
There are no setup options. The attached installer will automatically add a button (ArtView Button below).
The only aspect you may want to change is the image that is displayed when no album art is found.
Replace this file: {Install Directory}\ArtView\Skins\defaultArt.png with a your own file. Make sure to name it "defaultArt.png".
I used the installer found by Wolfgang928 (NSIS), and I also used his example installer script to get started. Thanks Wolfgang928!
Download the attached zip file and extract and run the included .exe file.
