FLAC Embedded Album Covers

[rb0135]

Kent,

Thanks for all that information.

However, your bottom line is wrong. MoOde is the problem (well the routines moOde uses) as I too have spent a lot of time with this lately.

I have included images of both VLC and RUNE displaying the correct album cover, yet moOde is not. It shows the cover from the first song in the list. Even every other Tag program I used displays the covers correctly.

Now, I have used 5 different Tag programs to test, including MP3TAG. PerfectTunes was the worst and any image loaded into a flac file with PerfectTunes would cause moOde not to show any covers. I settled on using TagScanner as it was able to find tag information easily from Sources.

When using the 5 programs, I deleted ALL tag information and recreated the tags from internet sources as to hopefully have a clean file.

I even went to the point of changing the covers.php file to log errors when reading Flac files however, it never came back as an error. I haven't had the time to look more into the routine (cant remember the name of it now) to add some debug info.

Don't get me wrong, I am not bagging moOde. But, now that I have chosen it, I want it to be 100% for me, and all I do is to play MP3 or FLAC files in my home cinema setup, and I just want the right album cover shown, that seems all other programs can show.

Here are the images. All of these loaded the exact same FLAC file from the NAS:

Correct cover shown in VLC



Correct cover shown in Rune



Incorrect cover shown in moOde



Appreciate all the assistance so far. I'm trying to help myself as much as well.

Thanks.
