You have to re-enter it every time you make a purchase. Basically, the only way I'd be comfortable storing CC info is in the gnome keyring, and when I last tried to implement it there were problems with the python bindings. That was a while ago, so if I get some free time this year I might try again. The method used to actually send the data to Magnatune is in the URL of an SSL-secured HTTP request, so the data is protected (assuming gnomeVFS actually verifies the SSL certificate from the remote server). That's the only way Magnatune supports getting CC info from external clients (well, there is *unsecured* HTTP, but I'm not going to use that :), so it's not going to change. -- Adam Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREATIVITY - http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/movingimages/Building_on_the_Past.mpg ALWAYS - http://www.musiccreators.ca/ BUILDS - http://www.ubuntu.com/ ON THE PAST - http://www.theopencd.org/ -- You will always get the greatest recognition for the job you least like. ___ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Cover Art and Credit Card Safety
Hi Maximilian, Yes, RB's cover art plugin is still using AWS for getting cover art. But we could move to Last.fm API. I think Last.fm is much better than AWS, it seems that their records/albums DB is larger. For example, there are not cover arts for Russian artists, but it's possible to find them on Last.fm. Because people update DB of Last.fm every day, because social networks rule. Here is an API: http://www.last.fm/api/show?service=290 Br, Alex Maximilian Schwerin wrote: Hi all, I got two questions: 1) Are you still using Amazon Webservices for getting cover art?

You can do this by subclassing BrowserSource and overriding the 'do_impl_search' method. The only parameter to this method is the text that the user has typed in the search box. This method can be called multiple times while the user is typing in the search box, so you might need to limit the query rate or add an extra delay there. ___ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
