I store my albums in seperate folders the structure is:
Artist folder - contains Album folder - contains tracks, playlist, and file cover.jpg
for example
"Rolling Stones" folder - contains "Let It Bled" folder contains all the tracks an .m3u and a cover.jpg
GMPC will show covers for some of my collection but not all. Even when a cover.jpg is present.
I can manually sellect the cover, but obviouslly I would like GMPC to recognise the cover.jpg files. How can I achieve this?
Thanks
James

Re: GMPC not showing album covers
GMPC is 0.20.0
No the music directory is not set - I will set it now.

Re: GMPC not showing album covers
Ok I have set the music directory and it is still not working for some of the albums.
Re: GMPC not showing album covers
GMPC remembers not finding the cover, so there are two solutions:
* Clear all 'failed' hits from the database (gmpc --clean-cover-db if I remember correctly, see gmpc --help)
* Right mouse -> refetch on each album.
Also make sure you have the music_directory plugin installed.

Re: GMPC not showing album covers
When having the music_directory plugin enabled, what is the file name / format GMPC is looking for and can it be changed? All my folders contain a front.jpg file.
Re: GMPC not showing album covers
I have found a mixture of .jpg and .png thay all have cover.xxx as their name
Re: GMPC not showing album covers
Is there a way to change this or do I have to change all my "front.jpg" to "cover.jpg"?
Re: GMPC not showing album covers
I think what is happening is that GMPC is downloading covers from Amazon or whereever and ignoring the ones I have in the directories. The albums with covers missing would be the albums taht it can not find covers for on the Internet.
Re: GMPC not showing album covers
I ran the gmpc --clean-cover-db restarted GMPC and covers that were missing are appearingQball wrote:GMPC remembers not finding the cover, so there are two solutions:
