Hi!

When I enter music plugin, I see front covers for every album. But when I enter the song list, first I see no covers, then scroll down, a few of thumbs start showing at the end, then some at the top of the list, but no thumbs in the middle at all.
Like:

thumb 1. song 1
thumb 2. song 2
no thumb 3. song 3
no thumb 3. song 4
..
thumb 11. song 11

This bug introduced with MePo 1.0beta as I can recall.

    Your logs are with streamed MP. Please use debug mode option from start menu to use default skin and options.

    Also please provide screenshots.

    Finally please explain how your music is structured (one folder per album , album artist/album, just one folder...)

    Folder structure (since MP 0.2):

    M:\Music
    - Pop
    --Artist1 - Album
    --Artist2
    ---Artist2 - Album 1
    - Rock
    --Artist 3 - Album
    - Singles
    -music.mp3
    ...

    Screenshots:
    - when I enter to the album, there's no coverart at all
    - scrolling up/down, a few of covers showing with the first and last few songs

    No matter which skin I use.

    Folder structure (since MP 0.2):

    Odd as your logs show
    Code:
    [Debug][FileExistsCache Thread(7)]: InsertFilesIntoCacheAsynch: pre-scanning dir : l:\music store\full albums\2 unlimited\2 unlimited - hits unlimited
    2011-10-01 09:55:21.170195 [Debug][FileExistsCache Thread(7)]: FileExistsCacheThread: new items found waiting for caching: 1
    2011-10-01 09:55:21.170195 [Debug][FileExistsCache Thread(7)]: InsertFilesIntoCacheAsynch: pre-scanning dir : l:\music store\full albums\2 unlimited\2 unlimited - no limits!
    2011-10-01 09:55:21.183196 [Debug][FileExistsCache Thread(7)]: FileExistsCacheThread: no more items to cache, suspending thread.: 1
    2011-10-01 09:55:21.183196 [Debug][MPMain(1)]: Folder: L:\Music Store\full albums\2 Unlimited : took : 0,4660267 s to load
    Which talks about L and I drives.

    You are using shares view. Do thumbs appear in database views? Do you have thumbs stored as folder.jpg? Is album art embedded in tags? Have you scanned these folders into your database?

    Not "I", that is a lovercase L.

    Do thumbs appear in database views?
    How to do that?
    When I switch view to Album, that is a complete mess...
    I see only a few of covers displayed randomly, and no titles displayed in GUI.

    Do you have thumbs stored as folder.jpg?
    I have everything: folder.jpg, front.jpg, artist - album.jpg...

    Is album art embedded in tags?
    I don't get it, sorry.

    Have you scanned these folders into your database?
    Sure.

    Here's a thing: 13! When I have an album with less than 13 songs, there's no coverart at all. When I have 14 song, after scrolling down, I get coverart for the last song, then I get one for the first. When I have 15... I get coverarts for the first 2 and the last 2 songs... and so on. 26 or more songs: all cover will be displayed after a scroll down.

    One more thing: Sometimes songs are sorted randomly when I enter to an album. Then I select "sort by - name" and it gets sorted well.

    What I tried to solve it was to delete Music Thumbs in MP Config. But I didn't know what exactly solved it in the end. One time I started MediaPortal suddenly all covers were shown.

    -> "Delete all Music Thumbs"
