Hi Tim!
No, it does not show up anywhere. I didn't do anything differently with the albums where the cover doesn't show, so I'm really lost here.

Zip up one of the albums and PM a download link to myself, @TheOldPresbyope and @Nutul. One of us will investigate.

I got your zip file. It unzipped without error. The six tracks begin with the proper magic number fLaC (so no errant ID3v2 tag). They each passed the flac utility (e.g., for the last track "06 Bill Evans Trio - Milestones.flac: ok") The FLAC metadata look ok. Example Code: rho@mpi4b:/mnt/SDCARD/Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118] $ metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT,PICTURE 06*As you can see, I unzipped to the SDCARD on one of my players. The "update this folder" ran without issue on folder SDCARD and the coverart shows up in all views (along with my other Bill Evans albums, notably "Sunday at the Village Vanguard", possibly my favorite live recording) and the tracks play fine. I'm stumped. Regards, Kent

Thank you so much, fellow Bill Evans fan
 Wow, I don't know what to say. The albums I have issues with are on the same USB HDD and folder as all the others. And it just doesn't show up, no matter what I do. As a last resort, I even tried to delete the albums from the HDD, update the library, re-add them, and still no cover art. Everything works fine. It shows up, it plays etc. But the cover art simply does not show.

I had no issues on my end with the album you provided.
Typically this type of issue is caused by insufficient permissions. MPD needs to have read ® permission to the music files and execute (x) permission on all parent directories of the music files. The MPD log can be viewed via moodeutl --mpdlog and will contain permission errors for directories or files it cannot access during database update. Couple of questions: 1. What format is the drive (NTFS, Fat32, Exfat etc)? 2 How did you copy the files to the drive? 3. What are the permission listed for the "Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118]" album directory and music files? Code: # DirectoryHere's an example using the test album you provided. I copied it to a USB drive. # Directory pi@moode9:~ $ stat "/media/VFAT64/Test/Dastinger/Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118]" File: /media/VFAT64/Test/Dastinger/Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118] Size: 32768 Blocks: 64 IO Block: 32768 directory Device: 8,1 Inode: 163 Links: 2 Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2024-09-23 20:00:00.000000000 -0400 Modify: 2024-09-24 06:28:56.000000000 -0400 Change: 2024-09-24 06:28:56.000000000 -0400 Birth: 2024-09-24 02:25:21.090000000 -0400 # Files pi@moode9:~ $ ls -l "/media/VFAT64/Test/Dastinger/Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118]" total 611744 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80050275 Sep 14 16:38 '01 Bill Evans Trio - My Foolish Heart.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 110992954 Sep 14 16:38 '02 Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 122149206 Sep 14 16:38 '03 Bill Evans Trio - Detour Ahead.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117928299 Sep 14 16:38 '04 Bill Evans Trio - My Romance.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 78073910 Sep 14 16:38 '05 Bill Evans Trio - Some Other Time.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116649103 Sep 14 16:38 '06 Bill Evans Trio - Milestones.flac' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 493832 Sep 14 16:43 folder.png

Same here, no problem at all.
Although I am a little perplexed: in your album view, that's not a "broken image": it's a default one. I don't remember if moOde adds that (as a thumbnail) when it cannot find any; but if it is so, maybe you added the album with no album art, then fixed it, and rebuilt the library / regenerated the thumbnails, but... forgot to clear the browser's cache?

Code: # DirectoryAs a last effort, I tried to move the folders to the SD Card and Moode immediately showed the album art. I tried moving them back to the USB drive and the album art is gone again. I can keep them on the SD Card but I'd like to know what is going on. I'd prefer to see it fixed rather than having two paths for albums (not that it hurts, it's just a way to keep everything tidied up and not having to worry about it in case I need to reinstall the OS or something).

When I first opened up the thread, it was indeed a broken image, but it changed to what you can see now on my screenshot. I'm not sure if you mean the actual web browser's cache. But if you do, this happens on every browser I try, so it's not an issue with the cache.

Very odd.
You could try regenerating the thumbnails and then check the moode log (moodeutl -l) for any errors from "thmgen" related to those Albums. If you have an spare USB drive, format it as Fat32 (VFAT) and then copy some albums to it including the ones that don't show cover art.
The only thing that shows up are "thumb-gen" entries and not thmgen. I guess that's what you mean. And nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye. And the only mention to Waltz for Debby I found was the following:
Code: 20240924 100416 mpdindex: StartI also have the same issue with one of my Kind of Blue versions (Mono LP) and searching for that on Terminal doesn't even get me any results. I tried clearing the library tag cache and regenerate the database and it's still the same. Mind boggling. Regarding the spare USB drive, I'll have to check if I have some laying around that I can use. |
