Hi!
Since my upgrade to RC1 all my artist thumbs seems to gone missing. I have thumbs embedded in all my mp3's for the picture that I want displayed.

When I go in to my music I get this:
FXZutUotT.jpg


And when I go in to the desired artist I get this:
jcdDzlfNP.jpg


I want the first album-icon (The appetite-cross with skulls for example) to be set as the Artist Thumbnail, and be displayed when I browse through my artist. I managed to solve this with my previous SVN-version somehow. I think there was an option, something like "make artist thumbnail from embedded thumbnail in mp3-file". But it doesn't seem to exist with this release. Any ideas?

Same here

To confirm, I also experience the same after the RC1 upgrade. Everything else is awesome though.:D

no good

Thanks for replying,

After doing as you said the now playing screen downloads an image of the artist (nice) however the image is not used for the artist thumbnails in the main screen as shown in steffis screenshots.

Any ideas?

    What view type are you using? (I guess "shares", that would explain everything)
    Try
    view: "artist"
    view as: "thumbnail" or "album"

    ... make sure you have reorganized your files first! (in case you have not done so)

    I think there was an option, something like "make artist thumbnail from embedded thumbnail in mp3-file".

    In Music->Music Database (configuration.exe) there is an option called 'Create artist and genre thumbs from first file' maybe that's the one you have used before.

    It works!!!

    Hooray,

    :) Spragleknas it was indeed in the shares view, I changed the view as you pointed out and the Artist thumbnails are now displayed.

    I'm really pleased with this RC1 release and I now have it set up exactly how I want it.

    Does this also work for you Steffi?

    Thanks all for your help.
    :D
