Created attachment 22896 [details] patch for CoverFetcher::startFetch() in coverfetcher.cpp I'm not sure of how the whole process of fetching covers works in Amarok, but here's an (untested, sorry) attempt at a patch.
What's the point? Last I looked Amazon was suggesting for new code you use AWS, but said it was fine to continue using to older api.
ECS3 will be shut down on March 31, 2008: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/ann.jspa?annID=164 Here's the migration guide: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=12&externalID=627
Ouch, I guess if they really shut it down in March, that would pretty much suck.
Yike, sounds like we'll have to release a 1.4.9 asap.
This my friends is now critical :)
SVN commit 782339 by dmeltzer: Port the cover fetching to use the 'new' amazon web api. The one we currently use is scheduled to be disabled at the end of the month. This code is based on the patch in bug 155257 by Alf Eaton <sites@hubmed.org> Please give this lots and lots of testing.
