[SOLVED] "Cover art not found" not displayed correctly

[Alain]

Hello,

I have recently copied some files to my libraires, but covers art are not displayed.
I don't understand why as other software seems to be able to display them, but what is annoying is that, instead of display a blank cover with the "moOde TM" text, it displays only a broken icon image and the text "covert art not found"

The consequence is that it is diffcult to click on the cover to return to library with the officlal raspberry touchscreen (low resolution) ...

May be a future improvement when the software can't manage the image ?

Thanks for your help and have a nice week-end

Best regards,
Alain

As ever, Tim and I are willing to have a look at a problematic album or two if you upload a zipped copy to some-file sharing service and PM a link to us.

I will send you a zipped file by PM

Thanks a lot,

Since Tim just mentioned these files in another thread, I should note that I've been playing with them a bit this morning. There are some weirdnesses with them I don't fully understand yet. I'm bringing up some of my heavy artillery to rip them apart and put them back together again to see where the weirdness lies.

After adding some debug to the thumbnail generator it looks like the embedded images in those files may be corrupt or unreadable by the PHP routines that extract the image width/height.

Figures. I go off to noodle over the thumbnail generation code and start to uncomment some of the workerlog statements, come back, and find you've already done it!

This reminds me of an old Second City line "Do fish think? Yes, but not fast enough!"

I've just pulled out the coverart images from the mp3 files. At a blush they looked ok but with your clue in hand I'll look harder.

There are also missing Album and Genre tags in the files. Best bet is to re-tag and re-embed the art.

Missing album and Genre has been deleted intentionally because files from this folder are sorted accordingly to their path.
Otherwise, the sort are differents....

BUT, what's strange, is that the embedded image from files provided are correctly decoded from other softwares (easyTag, picard ...), and image has been already re-embeded  (initially, it was the same image that an other file provided: Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode.mp3, wich is broken too)
Maybe a bug with tag softwares....

Maybe some other part of the file is corrupt, I dunno. What matters is whether the PHP image routines can read the width and height of the extracted image. https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

There are many other .mp3 files on my test_mixed collection that have embedded images and are OK.
