[QUOTE="horned_reaper, post: 1276744, member: 109929"] Yes, this is right, if the "[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Music+Setup#:~:text=Configuration%20%3E%20Music%20Ripping-,Settings%20within%20MediaPortal,folder%20will%20not%20be%20scanned.']Use for thumb creation cover art embedded in ID3-Tags[/URL]" MP option is enabled. However, if a file embedded album cover exists and FH finds an album cover as well, the album art may shortly zoom in or out on music track start. This looks strange, as shown in [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/resizing-mov.206465/']this video[/URL]. The reason is that MediaPortal and FH use different ways of scaling. If an album cover is not quadratic (unequal length and height), FH crops it. MediaPortal always shows the full album cover, as discussed in [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cropped-album-thumbs.140055/']this thread[/URL]. On track start the album art also may brighten or darken: If the embedded and the FH album cover originate from different sources, they may look different e. g. because of different scanner hardware quality or scan settings. If for these reasons or to prevent false positives by FH, the user prefers (his manually assigned) file embedded album covers in MediaPortal, currently there's no other way as to modify the skin file, right? I'd love to see a FH option to show FH album covers only if MediaPortal doesn't show an album cover for the current track. In this case there would be no conflict between FH and MediaPortal, and the skin files wouldn't need to be modified. [/QUOTE]
