Hi all,:D

I'm using the latest version of MP and there's a probleme with the album pictures when the album is
playing,

The image is shown in a very poor quality ,

but when i go to the menu you use to find the album you want to listen the image is correct,

Do you know what's wrong ?

Thanx for your help !!!:D:oops:

    If you enable cover art extraction from MP3 tags those low quality files are not overwritten by high quality .folder.png oder folder.jpg files.
    just delete ALL your thumbs, disable MP3 tag thumbs and rescan your shares.

    hmm althought it is an old thread
    - i will give that a try -
    couse it seems i have the same problem with the 1.0.2
    ... just brought in all Album-Folders a cover (folder.jpg)
    but they are not shown in MePo ...



    ... will report if that is a solution ...

    hmm interessting ... thx

    but i got it (nearly) working with my own "handwork" ...
    and i would prefer doin this without the fanarthandler ...

    just empty the "cache"-folders ...

    now MePo uses the "folder.jpg" which i copied in every album folder.
    but only some thumbs are created when i jump INTO the album folder (list-view)
    and some are not ...

    does it need some time till MePo creats the thumb for the list-view ?

    EDIT:

    like here as sample ... in the list ...the thumbs of the album cover is shown
    in front of the single songs ...

    Yeah not sure why FanArtHandler gets a mention in that guide.

    Basically the key things you need to set are to turn of downloading covers from internet (in dynamic options in now-playing IIRC). With this enabled you could find that your nice new thumbs might get overridden with worse quality ones.

    If your images are embeded in tags (which is much safer than folder.jpg as even with that I have had issues) then turn off the use folder.jpg option.

    Clear thumb cache and do a database import and all thumbs should be good quality and remain good

    ah now i got what u meant (sorry - my english is not so well)..

    ok - now i disabled the download option ...
    but ... the small thumbs inside an album-folder (listview) is still a problem.
    some files have the small thumbs @ every song ... some not ...
    Special-Case:
    i have an album ""one shot '80 - vol 17" ... best example ...
    some songs have a small cover-thumb and some not

    (try to make a screenshot - just give me a few minutes)

    EDIT:

    here is the screenshot ..
    in the circles - some have thumb - some not ..
    hope that picture discribe it better ... :D

    EDIT II:
    doesnt matter which skin i use ...
    it is in all skin that way ...

    EDIT III:

    also no change if i play one of the non-thumbed files ...
    small thumbs in front of the file still missing...

    EDIT IV:

    MePo does show the small thumbs if i say search-for-cover ...
    than all files have that thumb in front ...
    but most in bad quality :-(
    and i can't change that wihtout havin a lot of work ... (manuell rename files and copy)
