correctly labelled jpeg cover files not always displaying

Matt: I've provided some repro steps to the dev team - they will be looking at what sounds like a Windows shares' only issue.
Meanwhile - just in order to gather more info - would you be willing to put the exact same folder structure and files you have on your windows share (or part of it) onto an USB key, connect it directly to the Rasp and play the same set of tracks and see if you get the correct (i.e. the one embedded) displayed in RuneAudio's main page?

Does this only apply for "shown" jpg images? I save my albums as:

Album (Directory)
-01.flac
-02.flac
-01.flac
-.Artwork (Hidden artwork folder)
-.cover.jpg (Hidden album art)

This way when I open my music folder while browsing on my computer, it only displays the audio files by default. I've noticed that RuneAudio doesn't show my hidden album art files--at least, I don't think it does. I suppose that this is intended behavior?

@ryanmcclure: do you mean if they should be listed in the UI when you browse your library? In that case, no - the library only shows the media content (music) indexed in MPD's database.

Hi Ryan,
are you are the folders you are having issues with shared from a Windows machine?
If that's the case, then you might be hitting the same issue Matt and I are seeing and discussed in this thread.
If you are not sharing them from a Windows box, can you please try removing the hidden attribute to a .jpg file, rename it folder.jpg or cover.jpg and see what happens?

Thanks.

Hi all,

i think i have a solution for your problems with cover art on windows shares (SMB/CIFS).

Please try to remount your share with the option "noserverino".

Hi Frank,
this seems to be working very well for Windows shares.
Thanks a lot.
