frohe ostern an alle

how can i make the coverart be seen from a subfolder?

Music
-interpret
+Album1
+Album2

if i am in the interpret folder i can see the coverart from the album1 and album2 which are embedded in mp3tags.
but if i am in the Music folder i can not see the coverart.
is there a way/setting to get it displayed?

i do not want folder.jpeg!

Same problem I don't want to have to reorg my entire music DB.. BTW Lily Allen.. Great stuff....

Without using folder.jpg you'd have to use one of the database driven views to get all thumbnails.

you mean sort by atrist (Interpreten)

that is nothing better ...

Follow the manual to remove the "group" item from the artist view.
All subfolders should be covered. If not - you might want to use the audioscrobbler plugin's cover grabber.

 

[dir]

Use Tag & Rename. Navigate to the root of your music folders. Allow it to scan and select all files within it. Then in the pulldown menu somewhere at the top (File... etc.) there's an option to create a folder.jpg from the embedded covers within the mp3s. Select it. It will add a folder.jpg to each folder that doesn't already have one, based on the image it finds in the mp3s within that folder.

Might do.

thx i'll try it

EDIT:
@ rtv
ok i removed the group Restriction in the Music:Views config.
but that really isn't it also, becaus of the soundtrack or so i now have to many entries with only 1 song in the folder,too bad.... but now i know why MP uses this group option.

Edit2:
Tag & Rename dose not bring me anything because it only buts the folder.jpg in the subfolder, but mediaportal needs it in the mainfolder.

Do you "just" want artist pictures as folder.jpg in the root folder?

I want mine similar to the album view fo something like J.River, Itunes or Mediamonkey.

all that i want is the coverart also seen in the mainfolder not only in the subfolder.
in the pic underneth all is sorted by artist, than i can see all the albumcovers in the mainfolder.

but it is not as good strukterd as in "Shares" (ordnerstruktur).

so i want the "Shares"-structure (ordnerstruktur) with the coverarts shown in the sort by artist view
