Album art not displayed? - mp24 - 23-10-2016 11:23

Hallo,

i'm new in ripping CDs and have problem (and sorry for my bad english) :

First my equipment:
dbpoweramp (Mac - .flac files)
Synology NAS 115j
Advance Acoustic x-uni

On the x-uni are the album covers not displayed, but otherwise if i use the "media server" from synology the covers are displayed.

I ripped with dbpoweramp an the covers are embedded and also the file "Folder.jpg" is in the album folder.

Hope that anyone can help?
best regards

This is likely to be caused by the resolution of the images being too high for the x-uni. The Synology server is able to downsample images but MinimServer always sends images in their originally ripped resolution.

If you don't mind, I'll add my experience on this thread too. I have the same symptom: Album Art is not displaying in the control point (neither on the Lumin App on iPad, nor in Bubble on Android). But I can rule out file size as the cover that is not displaying is smaller (lower DPI, lower resolution, lower file size) than the cover that is displaying. Any other things to look at? Although I don't get an error message in Lumin, the one I get in Bubble when I try to retrieve the album art says "Error downloading image from server".

Minimserver runs on a Synology DS214+ NAS with DSM 6.1, latest update. The files are FLAC with embedded album art as well as a folder.jpg file with the music files in the album folder.

MinimServer uses embedded artwork in preference to folder.jpg if both are available.

You can use Kinsky on Windows to show the artwork URI for the embedded artwork image. Right-click on a track, select Details and you will see the artwork URI at the bottom of the pop-up window. Copy and paste the full URI into a browser and you should see the artwork image displayed. If this doesn't display an image, please post the full artwork URI here.

The URI looks OK, so this may be a problem with the image in the audio file. I will send you a PM with instructions for uploading the audio file to my FTP server.

I'll try and get the files to you tonight or tomorrow evening. Some further information:
  1. I can see the album art and open it in MP3Tag.
  2. The same for when I check the album art in Windows Explorer.
  3. I will get you some additional files, including ones that work and one that was freshly ripped with no subsequent editing.

I only need to see one file that does not work. Please upload the file 'Gold; Greatest Hits/01-Dancing Queen, ABBA-1.flac' and no other files.

Thanks for uploading the file. I am not having any problem seeing the embedded album art in this file.

I am seeing a different album art URI than what you posted. On my server, the URI is:

http://<localIP>:9790/minimserver/*/pepsican/01-Dancing*20Queen,*20ABBA-1.flac/$!picture-1178-83655.jpg

Can you upload the exact same file that was giving you the problem?

The file i uploaded is the exact same file. I uploaded the file directly from the NAS to your machine. No idea where the pepsican reference comes from. It is nearly midnight here. I'll check tomorrow.
