Artwork folder - stefano_mbp - 21-02-2021 10:58
I’m experimenting the use of Artwork folder.
If I use the default setting (ie do not change the folder default name, indexArtwork) and set in serverOption the property indexArtwork=all it works as expected.
But ...
I defined three paths in contentDir and if I do not replicate the folder for each path (ie I create the indexArtwork folder in only one path) it doesn’t work
If I define a custom path and name for the indexArtwork folder it doesn’t work, even if I add the customized path to contentDir
... Minimserver is running on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and on macOS with usb attached hdds
I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong ... need some help
Thank you

For this problem, please provide the following information:
1) The name of the index that shows the problem (for example, Artist or Composer)
2) Your three settings for contentDir, in order
3) What exactly you mean by "doesn't work" (for example, in the Composer index, the entry for Beethoven doesn't show the file /a/b/indexArtwork/Beethoven.jpg)

For this problem, please provide the following information:
1) The exact complete value you have defined for the artworkFolder option
2) The name of the index that shows the problem (for example, Artist or Composer)
3) Your setting(s) for contentDir, in order
4) What exactly you mean by "doesn't work" (for example, in the Composer index, the entry for Beethoven doesn't show the file /a/b/myCustomFolder/Beethoven.jpg)

Finally I could solve my issue.
The problem was that I didn’t understand that the artwork folder must be in the first path of n if I have several paths defined in contentDir and if my choice is to have only one artwork folder (to avoid redundancies that are more complicated to manage)
Thank you Simon

This should not be required. It should also work when the artwork folder is not in the first contentDir path.

I have checked this and it is working as expected. With two contentDir paths, the artwork folder is recognised when it is in either the first or second contentDir path and also whether or not the artworkFolder option has been used to change the name.

Thanks Simon, I will try as soon as possible

Hello Simon
I must have made some mess with the configuration, now everything works as you described.
thank you
