Synopsis:
When playing music, the visualization preview used to alternate with the covert art. Since rc2, the visualization alternates with a black picture instead. The covert art is not shown anymore in the preview window. Covert art is shown correctly as icon for songs in the mp3 list, just not in the visualization square preview.

Covert art are folder.jpg in each mp3 folders.

The thing is the cover files didn't change for months and it was working with 0.2rc1 and before. Only since rc2 it stopped working. All my cover files are named folder.jpg and have various sizes.

I tried using the built-in function to download covers for albums. The problem is still there. No cover in vizualisation.

I know that this isn't a solution to your problem, but it's the one I'm experiencing.

Can someone tell me how to name the files, what size and format it must be, where to store them, etcetera.

Can't seem to find that info anywhere... ;-(

    firstly nookie....

    you need a jpg or png file called folder.jpg it can be any size but i set them to about 640 x whatever it ends up as it needs to be stored in each folder that contains mp3's so if you have a folder called 'coldplay - X & Y' you would get the cover image file for coldplay x& y call it folder.jpg (or png if it is a png) and store it in the 'coldplay - X & Y' folder

    EDIT - NEW REPLY

    **********Well looks like i should read what skin you used!!! :lol: yes can confirm that the coverart is indeed broken in the visualisation preview window in the MCE skin works in others***************

    ORIGINAL REPLY

    i said i would check it out and i have. I or others in the test team cannot reproduce this at all. my covers show correctly and then slide to one side... show the vis and then the vis slides away and shows the cover. Just out of interest does the cover show correctly in the now playing view?

    i dont really know what more to ask for information wise. what cvs is this on? i am running very latest it would be handy to know if anything has changed that may make this work over the version your running. are your files in the database? have you got the use coverart embedded in mp3's for thumbnails enabled? just some ideas

    i'll wait for your reply

    Thanks

    Steve
