Running into problems setting cover art for MP4 files using Python and Mutagen
Following multiple suggestions from other StackOverflow questions and the mutagen documentation, I was able to come up with code to get and set every ID3 tag in both MP3 and MP4 files. The issue I have is with setting the cover art for M4B files.
I have reproduced the code exactly like it is laid out in this answer:
Embedding album cover in MP4 file using Mutagen
But I am still receiving errors when I attempt to run the code. If I run the code with the 'albumart' value by itself I receive the error:
MP4file.tags['covr'] = albumart
Exception has occurred: TypeError
can't concat int to bytes
However, if I surround the albumart variable with brackets like is shown in the aforementioned StackOverflow question I get this output:
MP4file.tags['covr'] = [albumart]
Exception has occurred: struct.error
required argument is not an integer
Here is the function in it's entirety. The MP3 section works without any problems.
from mutagen.mp3 import MP3
from mutagen.mp4 import MP4, MP4Cover
def set_cover(filename, cover):
r = requests.get(cover)
with open('C:/temp/cover.jpg', 'wb') as q:
q.write(r.content)
if(filename.endswith(".mp3")):
MP3file = MP3(filename, ID3=ID3)
if cover.endswith('.jpg') or cover.endswith('.jpeg'):
mime = 'image/jpg'
else:
mime = 'image/png'
with open('C:/temp/cover.jpg', 'rb') as albumart:
MP3file.tags.add(APIC(encoding=3, mime=mime, type=3, desc=u'Cover', data=albumart.read()))
MP3file.save(filename)
else:
MP4file = MP4(filename)
if cover.endswith('.jpg') or cover.endswith('.jpeg'):
cover_format = 'MP4Cover.FORMAT_JPEG'
else:
cover_format = 'MP4Cover.FORMAT_PNG'
with open('C:/temp/cover.jpg', 'rb') as f:
albumart = MP4Cover(f.read(), imageformat=cover_format)
MP4file.tags['covr'] = [albumart]
I have been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong for two days now. If anyone can help me spot the problem I would be in your debt.
Thanks!
