[SOLVED] Cover images not loaded for all albums

[Tim Curtis]

Your best bet is to zip up one of the files whose album cover is not shown and PM a download link to myself, @TheOldPresbyope and @Nutul. One of us will analyze the file.

You might also want to take a look at the statistics printed in the moOde log after the Thumbnail generator runs.

View the log by either SSH command

Code:

moodeutl -l

 
Or download it from the Logs section of System Config.

I've extracted the picture of a file with ffmpeg, which is an png file

Here's the meta data from the ffmpeg log:

The log that I pulled with "moodeutl -l" didn't state any errors in the thumbnail section

I am not familiar with extracting the albumart with ffmpeg, so I cannot say if it looks into the vorbis comment or not; but it seems to me that the image is indeed encoded as a video stream...

Your best bet is, as @Tim Curtis said, to manage to send a non-working file to me, him and @TheOldPresbyope.

Just to clarify, the file should be a complete, unaltered song file that is not showing album art in the Library.
