Title: Never Show Again
Post by: Bee-liever on June 13, 2013, 12:08:15 AM

I wish there was a right-click option for the Artist image; 'Never Show Again' that blocked the url of that image

Link Removed

there are some pics that even seeing once, is one time too many  ;)

If I were a new user, run Modern Compact Player for the first time and saw this picture I'd definitely stop using Compact Player feature  ;D
But if I saw it again in Theater Mode I'd consider uninstalling MusicBee  ;D

Bee-liever, please REMOVE this out of the forum !!!

Bee-liever, one picture found by you means more than 1000+ votes for, but maybe stop attaching it  ???
After seeing your pictures I think the feature is a must-have for MusicBee to be used in public.
I wouldn't risk posting another one. There are some children visiting the forum.

I think the two pictures attached is more than enough for Steven to consider the issue and eventually implement the feature when he has some time.

If I don't post images to support my wish, how can Steven make an informed decision on the need for this?  I'm certainly not going to PM him a request and attempt a short-circuit of the feature request process.

I only posted 2 pics as they are for 2 very separate cases. One for personal taste and one for appropriateness.  Strangely, the second image comes from fanart.tv and is not filtered out by Google safe search

Added: I'm assuming you raised this out of concerns for suitable material appearing on an open form. Rest assured, as soon as Steven makes a decision, either for or against, I'll be removing those links.

sorry to bump this but.....

play anything by Peter Rauhofer and see the images that you currently get, then you'll realise why I've brought it up again

Title: Re: Never Show Again

I can block them using Proxomitron but its a very hard to use and to explain program. I wonder if there are easier proxies letting you block some recent downloads from the history.

i just did a google image search for Peter Rauhofer to see what you are talking about and i really regret doing it.

@Bee-liever - you make a very convincing case for this feature!

Title: Re: Never Show Again
Post by: Bee-liever on July 16, 2013, 12:26:05 AM

would this be as easy as creating a "Banned" folder in app data with a "NeverShowAgain.xml"?
the xml containing a list of the url's to check against

Code

<picture>http://www.somepicturesite.com/images/not_so_tasteful_Artist_pic.jpg</picture>

or am I over-simplifying the task?

Title: Re: Never Show Again
Post by: Steven on July 16, 2013, 07:44:03 AM

i will do this request but when i am ready to do it.

@Bee-liever - you make a very convincing case for this feature!

But my question was a legitimate query, and I tried to word it so it wouldn't look as though I was hounding you on this.
If it wasn't a simple task and was going to take a lot of time, I would make a library filter to hide those artists when using MB in a public place.  If you said it was fairly easy, I'd assume it would get done sooner rather than later, and I'd wait.

I'm really sick and tired of the attitude and I've had enough. You can remove me as a moderator and stick your MusicBee where the sun definitely don't shine.

Huh. That escalated strangely and quickly, for no apparent reason.  :-\

Anyhoo...

As long as the sun is still rising in the east and until something is implemented in MusicBee, I'd guess that adding dodgy entries to System32\drivers\etc\hosts would have a similar effect.

I made a special minimun config for proxomitron.
Unzip and run it: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6dv4btgr5s6rbxo/prox.zip

For any software where you want to block some urls, set the proxy as localhost at the 8080 port

For MB, go to preferences, internet. Tick server and leave username and password blank
(http://s12.postimg.org/mutq4zae5/Untitled.png)

If prefer another port change it there, and go to Proxomitron\Configure\HTTP\Proxomitron's proxy port number

Restart MB, restart proxomitron if you changed the default port.

And that's all, now any time you see a pic you don't like. Go to http://127.0.0.1:9235/.pinfo/urls/ from your favourite browser, localize the pic you don't like and add it to the list redirections.

The redirections list is prepared for doing more complex things, but for this area is sufficient adding $SET(\1=http://local.ptron/removed.png) after the url you want to block.

For editing redirections list just use notepad or from proxomitron, right click in tray icon\edit list\redirections

Yep, complex and not very user friendly, and trust me, this is one of the easiest things in proxomitron... But nothing more can be done for this program as code got lost.

I blocked the image in http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/46/nevershowagain.jpg/ as an example

The removed.png can be changed por any other like this one http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120614232753/meme/es/images/thumb/e/ed/IUGH-meme.jpg/500px-IUGH-meme.jpg  just save it as removed.png in the html folder of proxomitron

@Bee-liever: Don't feel pressed to use it, it hasn't been real work for me, just deleted all the other filters i use

thank you lnminente
my continued use of MB is somewhat uncertain at this point, but I will use your work-round if I need to
thanks again for your time on this

@Bee-liever: Just don't try to involve too much as sadly at the end this is the project of only one person.
You, Jistme, Redwing, me... I'm not still here only for MusicBee.

@Orb: For not freewares i would try Ad-Muncher, it was my favourite long time ago and used to recommend it before adblock plus appeared. Anyway Ad-muncher still could be the best solution http://www.admuncher.com/download.shtml

this is done for the next v2.2 update - just right click on the offending picture/ Ban Picture and you need never see that picture again
the list is maintained in the file AppData/Banned Pictures.dat

Hello,

I'd like to ask a question. We're talking about banning pictures on the Now Playing area, but do these actions apply to the pictures we see on the theater mode? I've noticed there's a subfolder called ArtistCache inside another folder called Artwork, and I always believed it contained the pictures displayed on the theater mode, and only there, so that, if we don't have internet connection in a particular place, this means we can still have the pictures of the artists.

If this is case, then I'd like to confirm that the pictures of the artists displayed on the Now Playing area are never downloaded in this folder or in any folder, which would explain this banning of web addresses.

Thanks!

Title: Re: Never Show Again
Post by: Steven on August 06, 2013, 10:14:34 PM

i think so - i havent tested and dont have time now but it should use the same internal functions to retrieve artist pictures that this has been implemented for. You just wont be able to ban them from the theatremode itself.
The cache you refer to is shared with the Playing Track artist picture and its used for the primary picture only. You can only ban web links, not the primary picture already cached

I see: thank you for the explanation!
