Wrong image as album art - lwizard - 08-01-2025 14:52
Hi. I start putting some Artist image in indexArtwork so that when I browse by Artist or Album Artis there is the correct image of the artist.
But I have a problem: albums named as the Artist itself does show the artist image instead of the album cover that is in the Tag and also as folder.jpg of the folder.
For example I have an album:
- Album Artist: LateNightTales
- Album Name: AIR
- Artist of single tracks are different because is a compilation
I used AIR as album name because it is a collection of compilations called "LateNightTales" each of them is arranged by a different artist.
Well. When I browse them getting to albums list, instead of the album cover I get the artist image (AIR). Only if the artist is present in the indexArtwork. For example if I rename the album in "AIR 2" there is no match and the real album cover turn back.

You can read carefully this guide and especially the [New] (in red) paragraph that should help to solve your needs

Thanks. I created an AlbumArtist subfolder in indexArtwork.
I had the same problem.
Turn out that I also had AIR.jpg in the album folder and this seems to had priority on folder.jpg or image in the tag.
I deleted them and now is everything ok.
I'll search how to tell minimserver to always prefer tag image when present as album art.

The search order for album artwork is described in this section and it isn't possible to change this search order.

If you place artist artwork in the ./indexArtwork/Artist folder, the image will be used in both the Artist and All Artists index, but if you place it in the root of the ./indexArtwork folder it'll be used for search results too.
Perhaps the lack of artist artwork in search results when stored in ./indexArtwork/Artist is a bug, but I currently store them in the root.

I will look at the search results issue and post back here.

I have found the cause of this problem. The fix will be in the next MinimServer update. Thanks for letting me know about this.
RE: Wrong image as album art - simoncn - 28-01-2025 22:03
This fix is now available in MinimServer update 257.

Sorry, I missed the post updates.
I've just moved the artist images back to ./Artist and they're still showing in the search results, so it works great for me!
Thanks

Thanks for confirming and thanks for reporting this problem!
