<a name="libmediaart-Cache.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>These functions give you access to the media art that has been
extracted and saved. There are normally two places the media art
will be located in. These locations store symlinks not real copies
of the content:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>The user's XDG_CACHE_HOME directory (usually
<code class="filename">~/.cache/media-art/</code>)</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>The local file system's top level
<code class="filename">.mediaartlocal</code> directory (for example
<code class="filename">/media/martyn/pendrive/.mediaartlocal/</code>)</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>To find the media art for a given media file, use the function
<a class="link" href="libmediaart-Cache.html#media-art-get-file" title="media_art_get_file ()"><code class="function">media_art_get_file()</code></a> (you can also use <a class="link" href="libmediaart-Cache.html#media-art-get-path" title="media_art_get_path ()"><code class="function">media_art_get_path()</code></a>, which
does the same thing but for path strings instead of <span class="type">GFile</span>
objects).</p>
<p>If media art for the file is not found in the cache, these
functions will return <code class="literal">NULL</code>. You may find some embedded media art
upon loading the file, and you can use <a class="link" href="libmediaart-MediaArtProcess.html#media-art-process-buffer" title="media_art_process_buffer ()"><code class="function">media_art_process_buffer()</code></a>
to convert it to the correct format and save it in the cache for
next time. The <a class="link" href="libmediaart-MediaArtProcess.html#media-art-process-file" title="media_art_process_file ()"><code class="function">media_art_process_file()</code></a> function also supports
searching for external media art images using a basic heuristic.</p>

arguments. <em class="parameter"><code>cache_file</code></em>
will point to a location in the XDG user cache directory, meanwhile
<em class="parameter"><code>local_file</code></em>
will point to a cache file that resides in the same
filesystem than <em class="parameter"><code>file</code></em>
.</p>
<p>The <em class="parameter"><code>file</code></em>
provided is required if <em class="parameter"><code>local_file</code></em>
is to be returned.
The <em class="parameter"><code>local_file</code></em>
relates to a location on the media the local file
system or media storage it is found on, so for example, if you have
a mounted volume with MP3s on it in
<code class="filename">file:///media/martyn/pendrive</code>, the <em class="parameter"><code>local_file</code></em>
will point to a URI that looks like
<code class="filename">file:///media/martyn/pendrive/.mediaartlocal/...</code>.</p>
<p>The <em class="parameter"><code>cache_file</code></em>
is very different to the <em class="parameter"><code>local_file</code></em>
, the
<em class="parameter"><code>cache_file</code></em>
relates to a symlink stored in XDG cache directories
for the user. A <em class="parameter"><code>cache_file</code></em>
would be expected to look like
<code class="filename">file:///home/martyn/.cache/media-art/...</code>. This
is normally the location that is most useful (assuming the cache
has been extracted in the first place).</p>
<p>When done, both <span class="type">GFile</span>s must be freed with <code class="function">g_object_unref()</code> if
non-<code class="literal">NULL</code>.</p>
