Get Media Art from Windows Media Player by Ezra on 07-24-2007 at 07:42 PM

Does anyone know how to get the Media Art (Album Cover) from the currently playing item in Windows Media Player?

I've looked at several ways to talk with MediaPlayer like the ActiveXObject and direct via Interop but was not abled to make it work.

I also looked at NowPlaying but that script gets the art from amazon and not the media itself.

If anyone could help, it's very much appreciated :-)

I'm not sure, but the best way is to Google the API for Windows Media Player, or how they are stored in the files themselves :).
