Album Art Oddity?

[Sherwoodforest]

Thanks, Simon, I went through that section carefully before posting anything.

As I said, I can live with the current situation (totally acceptable) but am confused.

Much of my library has emanated from ripped CDs, and these end up with no embedded art, and I've always used folder.jpg as a quick way of getting the result I wanted.

In this case, I have some downloaded albums that do have embedded art, all the same but in each track. I still added a folder.jpg, though. That resulted in art being displayed (at album and track level) on the control point(s), but not (as has been the norm) on the renderer (which only displays at track level anyway).

It was consistent behaviour, and checked carefully. I edited the embedded art out of one of them (it had it only on one track, for reasons I understand but are not relevant). That then gave the expected displays at both CP and renderer. Editing all the "track" art from the next one had exactly the same effect.

But, subsequently retaining the folder.jpg and re-adding embedded art to the tracks (first at a reduced resolution, then at the original 800x800) didn't re-introduce the problem!.

Patently, the editing, or the processing of the art, might have made some difference, but as the CP display has been as expected throughout (with only the renderer displaying odd behaviour) I are confused.

There has been a rescan between each change. The artwork doesn't get cached separately and retained across rescans, does it? (It's about the only straw of explanation I can clutch at).

File it away as a memory in case something similar is raised, but I appear to have acceptable results at the moment. (albeit by a confusing path).

I do note that, as downloaded, the last one I tested has some very odd numbering of tracks and discs (being multidisc). It just might be screwing things up a bit, even though it navigates and plays OK. (No minimserver log issues).
