Can't see Album Art
I'm trying out MinimServer and everything seems to be working fine. However I can't see any album artwork / album covers in my Naim app.
What might I be doing wrong? |

RE: Can't see Album Art
Thanks, I just checked that
The artwork files must be embedded in the audio files since there is no collection of jpg or png files to be seen on on my disk. Although the link you provided says, for example, that >>When displaying an audio file, MinimServer looks for artwork using the following search order: 1. ... 2. Artwork in JPEG, PNG, GIF or BMP format embedded within the audio file 3. ...<< MinimServe doesn't show the artwork. |

Do you have a tag editor program to confirm your suspicion? (19-09-2020 11:12)VikasMG Wrote: MinimServe doesn't show the artwork. I have read that the Naim hardware sometimes needs rebooting to refresh artwork. As a further test, try adding artwork to one album folder as a folder.jpg. You may need to restart MinimServer for this new file to be recognised. |

It's the Naim app that won't show the artwork when connecting through MinimServe - or Asset for that mater! |

(19-09-2020 13:48)VikasMG Wrote: Well it shows up in iTunes and on my iPhone. iTunes, I believe, can hold artwork separate from the audio files, I.e. in its own 'database'. This is unavailable to other servers such as MinimServer and Asset. A solution to this can be found in this old post. There may be other solutions. |

RE: Can't see Album Art
I had a similar issue and encountered that cover or artwork files have been stored as 'cover.jpeg' and not 'cover.jpg'.With this extended suffix MinimServer seems not to read or accept the cover file.
Kind regards steamfan |
