I agree but I am running out of possible explanations for why this isn't working for you. Sad

If you set indexArtwork to auto or all, do you see "automatic" artwork in the index?

Yes, that’s working fine.

To check whether the files in the indexArtwork folder are being read by the rescan, place a test file named error.png in the indexArtwork folder and do a rescan. I have zipped a suitable file and attached it to this post. You should get this error message in the log:

Warning: error reading image file E:\Muziek\indexArtwork\error.png: java.io.EOFException

OK, so all is well with reading files from the indexArtwork folder.

I think the problem is that you have named your artwork files incorrectly. If you check carefully, I think you will find that they are named

Vivaldi, Antonio (1678-1741).jpg.jpg

instead of

Vivaldi, Antonio (1678-1741).jpg

Probably most of the other controlpoints will show the new feature now.
CA connect ignores IndexArtist.

I have tried several controlpoints.
Both Linn apps,Creation C5,Fidata, mConnect, 8Player all seem to work.
CA Connect, as mentioned before, ignores IndexArtist.
IndexArtist "overrules" the automatic chosen images within the Lumin app.
