Displaying pictures of artists?

One alternative might be to be very prescriptive in what Minimserver will work with. We all know that album art (if not embedded) only works if the image file is named Folder.jpg (+ specified allowed variants); so why not take the same approach, such as folderartist.jpg must be in the containing folder. This could be extended to cover further roles as required.

The problem with this is that there is no "containing folder" for an artist (unlike an album).

Quote:In terms of benefits, it would certainly improve the look when scrolling through artist lists in control points, but doesn't have any real functional benefit that I can think of.

Personally, I think there are other improvements that are on Simon's list that would be of more benefit.

Thanks for all your hard work Simon
