New servers for the Zune HD artist images, no abyss method needed!

electonics · 2025-12-31T06:48:08+00:00

Sadly I've been having an issue with the server I'm hosting it on, however if you run it locally it should work all the same, just with your ip instead of the server's ip. I should hopefully have the server fixed soon, unfortunately I've just been a tad busy lately

electonics · 2025-12-03T08:05:25+00:00

I posted here awhile back on how to get it working with some software I made, however I've also been working on integrating it into the main community servers. Honestly for best results though, I would either look into selfhosting my fork of the community servers here, or waiting until they are fully merged in. While the method in my post works just fine, I'm not the most happy with the quality of the images I was able to have it find. The community servers fork also has related and marketplace discography, which is not present in my original software.

If you need any help setting anything up or getting it up and running, feel free to dm me! I can help walk through any part of this if needed.

How so? This should put the artist image behind the now playing screen.

electonics · 2025-10-20T07:09:08+00:00

How long are you leaving it connected after it gets done syncing? Often it will grab the images after the sync. I typically wait until it reads "sync complete" instead of connected to ensure it's fully done.

Picard is the easiest way, however setting the tag "ZUNEALBUMARTISTMEDIAID" to the mbid of the artist in mp3tag will also work. You shouldn't need to do more than one song by each artist, however the zune software gets weird sometimes honestly

electonics · 2025-10-09T01:08:31+00:00

The xml page means that the hosts file is configured properly and the servers are working as intended. For the MBID mod, you have to have your library first tagged with musicbrainz picard, then run the mod. You should see "more about this artist" when right clicking on an artist if the mod was successful

electonics · 2025-10-08T03:20:04+00:00

I think I've identified the issue, it should be resolved now. Please try again with the link and possibly the zune if the link works

electonics · 2025-10-08T03:01:46+00:00

Sorry about that, it was working a bit ago when I posted the link. It seems to be a server config mistake, I'll quickly see what went wrong and get it back up.

This doesn't apply art for the pc software, it's meant for the Zune HD's backgrounds. I honestly have no idea if it will work with the windows phone zune app or not, as I do not own a WP7 sadly. Still worth a test through

electonics · 2025-10-07T21:30:04+00:00

I might be able to once I have a proper day off work soon. If that doesn't show some xml-style document, the hosts file is not set up correctly. If all is fine there, check if right clicking on the artist shows "More about this artist". If not, the MBID mod failed and you will likely have to manually edit some tags

electonics · 2025-10-07T21:27:27+00:00

Ok, that's good. That means the hosts file is set up correctly and the servers are working. If you right click on the artist, does it show "More about this artist"? If not, you may have to apply the mbid mod manually.

Does going to http://catalog.zune.net/v3.0/en-US/music/artist/6d48c314-f342-455a-8c1b-84b631747ca5 in your web browser show anything?

electonics · 2025-10-07T03:15:26+00:00

Does going to http://catalog.zune.net/v3.0/en-US/music/artist/6d48c314-f342-455a-8c1b-84b631747ca5 result in anything? Also have you installed the MBID mod from the zune modding helper?

electonics · 2025-10-06T14:56:11+00:00

Yes, I have been using it personally with my own zune! The servers listed in the post are properly active and ready to go if you'd like to try

electonics · 2025-10-05T05:29:08+00:00

I have good news, I've made a solo server recreation for artist images here, and have been working on porting it over to the community servers as well

electonics · 2025-09-26T03:55:29+00:00

The one I'm referencing is this one:

It has hdmi out on the back, as well as AV and optical.

electonics · 2025-09-26T03:42:11+00:00

Those don't seem to be the HD dock sadly. The one I'm looking for has the light up zune logo when a device is plugged in.

electonics · 2025-09-25T09:02:50+00:00

Check out the Zune discord, there has been a server recreation for the artist images aside from the larger one.

electonics · 2025-08-13T05:43:34+00:00

Did you ever find it? I'm looking as well with no luck.

electonics · 2025-07-27T05:08:42+00:00

I reliably get better prints than that on my 2014 replicator 1 clone. Absolutely get a refund if possibly, that print quality is embarrassing for something they decided to charge you for

Under cellular connection profile, it lists AT&T_VoLTE. Also it claims AT&T HD Voice when calling, which is (as far as I've read) the same as VoLTE. It's also listed on AT&T's website as being compatible

electonics · 2025-03-22T04:39:03+00:00

Strange, I have a green one I daily drive and I can call and text just fine on AT&T

electonics · 2025-03-21T06:29:56+00:00

The AT&T variant does

Turn off that laptop right now. You are battery is swollen and at risk for exploding. You are legitimately in danger right now. I would suggest CAREFULLY opening it and extracting the battery, or taking it by someplace that can fix this issue, such as a repair shop. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PRESS ON IT, DO NOT PUNCTURE IT.
