Cover art not being found. - MJR42 - 12-03-2024

I had a couple of albums that didn't have cover art when I started up a new 9.1.4 install. I used mp3tag v3.27 to add embedded cover art for each of the tracks in the album and then regenerated the library. The new cover art is not showing up, but when I change tags like "artist" or "album", those changes show up when I regenerate the library.

Is there something I need to do to get the cover image to show properly?

Zip up one of the albums and PM a download link to myself, @TheOldPresbyope and @Nutul. One of us will see if we can reproduce the issue.

In situations like this, clearing the browser cache is always worth a go.

Do you have any instructions on how to do this from the CLI? However, I don't think it's a browser cache problem, as I'm using both the local screen and a remote browser to see what's going on.

Clear the browsers cache (images, since-the-beginning-of-time), then ctrl-F5.
for the local display; just restart it (from the configuration pages) it will clear the browser's cache.

been there a gazillion times. it works.

So I tried to clear the cache
Code:
sudo killall chromium
rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium
and then rebooted - does not fix the problem.

I've uploaded a zip file to GDrive and made it available for download to anyone with the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sbtJy_qCyoZYkfCKlAkeHsTVSloqqPcn/view?usp=drive_link

I'm afraid the file is larger than Google can scan, but I maintain a Windows firewall and anti-virus, so it should be clean.


RE: Cover art not being found. - Tim Curtis - 12-05-2024

There doesn't appear to be any embedded covers in the sample tracks you provided.

Code:
pi@moode9:~ $ metaflac --export-tags-to=- "/media/VFAT64/Test/MJR42/Studio_Sessions/01 Sweet Georgia Brown.flac"
TITLE=Sweet Georgia Brown
TOTALDISCS=1
TOTALTRACKS=24
DISCNUMBER=1
ARTIST=Benny Goodman
ALBUM=The Complete 1947 - 1949 Small Group Sessions
GENRE=Jazz
DATE=1995
TRACKNUMBER=01
pi@moode9:~ $

 Also no cover image file in the album dir.

@MJR42 

We didn't intend for you to publish the link publicly.

On quick examination, your FLAC files have both ID3v2 and VORBIS_COMMENT tags. This violates the FLAC specs.

A followup-

With the Sweet Georgia Brown track as an example, here's what the VORBIS_COMMENT metadata block contains


Code:
METADATA block #2
 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT)
 is last: false
 length: 243
 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.3.2 20170101
 comments: 9
   comment[0]: TITLE=Sweet Georgia Brown
   comment[1]: TOTALDISCS=1
   comment[2]: TOTALTRACKS=24
   comment[3]: DISCNUMBER=1
   comment[4]: ARTIST=Benny Goodman
   comment[5]: ALBUM=The Complete 1947 - 1949 Small Group Sessions
   comment[6]: GENRE=Jazz
   comment[7]: DATE=1995
   comment[8]: TRACKNUMBER=01
METADATA block #3
 type: 6 (PICTURE)
 is last: false
 length: 277162
 type: 3 (Cover (front))
 MIME type: image/jpeg
 description:
 width: 1000
 height: 1000
 depth: 24
 colors: 0 (unindexed)
 data length: 277120
 data:
   00000000: FF D8 FF E0 00 10 4A 46 49 46 00 01 01 01 00 60 ......JFIF.....`
...

At a glance, this looks good, so getting rid of the ID3v2 nonsense should suffice.
