correctly labelled jpeg cover files not always displaying

[matt]

Whenever I notice an album cover not showing up during playback I go into the folder to see whats wrong, its usually the file named Cover or Folder and changing the capital letter to lower case fixes the problem.
Over the last couple of days I have been finding covers not being displayed and when I check it out everything seems correct. They are jpegs named cover or folder, szie varies from 45kb to 840kb, there dosesn't seem to be any strange files in the folder that aren't in the other folders but they just wont show up.
I've renamed cover to folder and vice versa, updated folders, deleted the files then re loaded them but nothing seems to work. I just get the runeaudio logo.
Unfortunately due to the large number of music files I have and the fact that I'm not always checking the cover displays means I cant be 100% sure that this is a new problem, but the fact I haven't encountered it before suggests it is and I think it's since the latest gitpull.
An ideas out there?

Can anybody explain how this might happen. It stayed like this for the duration of the album. The previously played album was Alice in Chains which displayed correctly. There are no Bowie jpegs in the Clash folder. Very strange and not the only time its happened.

Hi ACX,
at this point I really can't add much info unfortunately. I will try to make some notes when I see it happen and maybe we can glean some information with them. They aren't neccessarilly obscure albums either so I also think its strange that runeaudio isnt pulling something from last.fm. Once or twice I havent even had the rune logo just a blank black square.
With regard to my second post, there actually is a cover jpeg. for The Clash in the folder but as you can see the image displayed is of David Bowie.

Is anyone else having these problems?

I have just had a play around and slowly skipped through 30 songs on shuffle.
The 8th song played was by Muddy Waters, the album is Sings Big BIll Broozny, the cover image shown was Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis Bold as Love.
The 20th song was off Oasis - Definitely Maybe, and only the rune logo came up.
This is the contents of that folder :

The 30th song played was from U2 - 18 singles and only a blank black square was displayed. I can say with 100% certainty that this album has diplayed correctly before.
Heres the contents of the folder :

All other albums displayed correctly

I don't know if that helps, I may try reimaging the sd card.

"sigh"
I have just played a song from U2 - 18 singles and had the same result, a blank black square. Oasis - Definitely Maybe, the cover was displayed correctly this time. Muddy Waters - Sings Big Bill Broozny, cover displayed correctly.
So 2/3 of the time (in this very small sample) it seems to be a completely random bug.

AndreR - yes I am using a windows share.
Hopefully that info helps someone sort this out (its way beyond me) as this problem seems to be getting stranger by the day.
I have just changed a file from Cover to cover which was successful in having the album cover displayed (was just showing rune logo before I changed it) . However if I play the album again now it only shows the logo again.
Oh its Jethro Tull - Aqualung , I've just looked it upon lastfm and the info is there so why isnt runeaudio using this if it cant see the file in the folder?

[matt]

BUMP
I still haven't worked this out. I must admit I haven't noticed an incorrect album cover recently but I'm still regularly getting the rune logo when there is a perfectly good correctly named cover file in the folder.
Anyone else getting this, or just AndreR and myself?

Have you checked your ID3-tags for images?

As ACX said RuneAudio looks for embedded art first, IF none is found THEN the folder image is displayed. If you're not getting the folder image, that indicates that the embedded art is displayed. That's the built-in logic.

Of course, it could be a bug. It's not one that I have ever encountered though.
