I need to get Thumbnail from mp3 files. I Implemented this but it never catch thumbnails. I checked the existence of the images opening them with windows media player and from xbox music (on the phone) but i can't retrieve them in my app. Please Help
async private void ThumbnailFetcher(StorageFile file)
{
if (file != null)
{
const ThumbnailMode thumbnailMode = ThumbnailMode.MusicView;
const uint size = 100;
using (StorageItemThumbnail thumbnail = await file.GetThumbnailAsync(thumbnailMode, size))
{
if (thumbnail != null && thumbnail.Type == ThumbnailType.Image)
{
this.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
{
BitmapImage thumbnailImage = new BitmapImage();//image used for display
thumbnailImage.SetSource(thumbnail);
CurrentAlbumArt.Source = thumbnailImage;
Debug.WriteLine("true");
});
}
else
{
Debug.WriteLine("False");
}
}
}
}
P.s It gives always false.
It seems there is a bug on windows phone 8.1, I searched all the night and the only method I could implemented is this
var fileStream = await file.OpenStreamForReadAsync();
var TagFile = File.Create(new StreamFileAbstraction(file.Name, fileStream, fileStream));
// Load you image data in MemoryStream
var tags = TagFile.GetTag(TagTypes.Id3v2);
IPicture pic = TagFile.Tag.Pictures[0];
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(pic.Data.Data);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
bitmap.SetSource(ms.AsRandomAccessStream());
AlbumArt.Source = bitmap;
but it doesn't work too..
var filestream = await receivedFile.OpenStreamForReadAsync();
var tagFile = File.Create(new StreamFileAbstraction(receivedFile.Name, filestream, filestream));
var tags = tagFile.GetTag(TagLib.TagTypes.Id3v2);
var bin = (byte[])(tags.Pictures[0].Data.Data);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bin);
await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(ms.AsRandomAccessStream());
AlbumArt.Source=bitmapImage;
use this and taglib portable. (Sorry for take so much time)
