Track art woes (1 Viewer)

[Guldaen]

Hey guys, mediaportal newbie here.

Basically i use mediamonkey on my desktop and I love it however it doesnt work so well with my htpc setup.. I am trying to get mediaportal to read my music collection the same way.. So far so good aside from this:

Mediaportal keeps showing covers for OTHER tracks when playing.. so say something for LL Cool J is playing it will display an Audioslave cover and I see that same audioslave cover everywhere.

Even if it actually has album art imedded in the file it still displays the wrong cover.

For thumb creation I have

folder.jpg selected
cover art embedded selected

Any ideas?

Have you read through https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/listen-music-99/guide-music-section-mediaportal-77404/ ?

Have you imported your tracks into the database? are you using a database view (artist / genre etc) or are you using shares view? Are your tracks arranged into folders for each album?

I did import my music which isn't setup for albums but more individual files/compilations.

I read through the guide but didn't' see a reference to database or shares view, what is the difference?

step 1 is to get mptag, most of my stuff is pretty cleaned up, just not the album art.
