Posters stuck when using my own custom metadata agent

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

In my home grown and private metadata agent (for use with my custom tagged .m4v files), this code extracts posters and fanart embedded in the files:



#Coverart<br />
	try:<br />
		metadata.posters['atom'] = Proxy.Media(str(tags["covr"][0]))<br />
	except: Log("Exception in Coverart: " + metadata.title)<br />
<br />
#Fanart<br />
	try:<br />
		metadata.art['atom'] = Proxy.Media(str(tags["covr"][1]))<br />
	except: Log("Exception in Fanart: " + metadata.title)


Sometimes I change the embedded images, but even upon "Refresh Metadata", the old images stick.

How do I update the code above to remedy this problem? (Or is this a bug?).

Thanks :)

What? So this was not worthy of a Ninja reply?

Just a guess, but maybe deleting the key first before giving it a new value works:


#Coverart<br />
	try:<br />
		if 'atom' in metadata.posters:<br />
			del metadata.posters['atom']<br />
<br />
		metadata.posters['atom'] = Proxy.Media(str(tags["covr"][0]))<br />
	except: Log("Exception in Coverart: " + metadata.title)<br />
<br />
#Fanart<br />
	try:<br />
		if 'atom' in metadata.art:<br />
			del metadata.posters['atom']<br />
<br />
		metadata.art['atom'] = Proxy.Media(str(tags["covr"][1]))<br />
	except: Log("Exception in Fanart: " + metadata.title)

Thanks! I have tried that as that was my guess as well. I'll give it another try and report back! Thanks again :)

Doesn’t work - other ideas?
