[QUOTE="sebimuxx, post: 1154281, member: 75551"] First of all, the update went smooth for me, no issues. I am also in Germany. Download took quite some time (10 minutes) but no other issues during update. The new version works smooth so far. Great job! But now... The covers in music still do not display for many of my albums. I investigated this a bit deeper because the bug with special characters should be fixed now. It turned out that there is another issue which is related to multiple artists. I have a lot of Jazz and Classic (sorry for that) albums where multiple MP3 tags for artists exist. Now I found out that these albums do not display the cover in iViewer. The reason is obviously that either MPExtended or iViewer does not build the filename for the thumb in Mediaportal thumb folder correctly. Example which I did use yesterday to verify the issue: [LIST] [*]The album is 'Love Stories' and the artists are 'Joachim Kühn' and 'Rolf Kühn' (these are separate tags in the FLAC files, so iViever shows both names as separate entries in the list). [*]The thumb for the album cover in MediaPortal thumbs/music folder is 'Joachim Kühn _ Rolf Kühn- Love Stories.jpg' (obviously MP uses [B]all[/B] artist tags to create the filename for the thumb) [*]iViewer does not show the cover of this album [*]I manually renamed the thumb file in Mediaportal folder to 'Joachim Kühn- Love Stories.jpg' (deleting the second artist) et voilà - iViewier now displays the album cover (obviously iViewer or MPExtended only use the first artist tag to build the filename for the thumb) [/LIST] Hope that explains the issue detailed enough. Can you confirm if this is really an issue in iViewer? Any chance to get this fixed? [/QUOTE]
