Index Artwork

[paultaylor]

Please note that SongKong Music Tagger can quite easily generate artist images and put them all into MinimServers indexArtwork folder for use by MinimServers new feature. Additionally it can also create folder.jpg for artist level folders for when browsing by folder.

I was afraid to spend days and days to move all album artist pictures into the standard folder and renaming hundred of files from folder.jpg to the artist names. But SongKong is doing that for my

I have seen some minor glitches: e.g. 10cc as album artist is not visible, only that first album. I have organized my music by Album Artist/Album.

This is what I have done:
The new album artist files are copied into the folder indexArtwork by SongKong.
The setting of serverOptions is: indexArtwork=all

Please provide more detail about 10cc not being visible. Do you have a 10cc.jpg file in your indexArtwork folder?

Yes it‘s name is 10CC.jpg, size is 615kb. I can’t attach it because of it‘s size (larger than 500kb)..

If the artist name is 10cc, the filename needs to be 10cc.jpg, not 10CC.jpg.

Thanks Simon. Unfortunately that doesn‘t work as well.

Did you rescan after renaming the file?

...the rescan wasn't helping, I had to switch MinimServer on and off on my Melco. Everything's fine now, thank you so much Simon.

The indexArtwork is a great addition on an already GREAT piece of software!!!

I have now created a more detailed post on configuring SongKong and MinimServer to show artist images

if anything in this is incorrect Simon please let me know.

Thanks, Paul. Looks good to me!

Edit: You don't say that the user needs to have a full or trial MinimServer license. It might be helpful to add that.
