I'm finally seeing a pattern in the cdart images that don't work, and it's pretty weird. If the Album folder name contains brackets (for example "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (SE)", then the cdart.png file is not found. I suspect that this is probably a failure in a REGEX expression somewhere so the the "(" and ")" are being interpreted as part of an expression rather than as part of the folder name.
Since I have a numer of albums with both round and square brackets I decided to check and in all cases the CDart was showing. For some reason it doesn't appear for the first song of an album, probably it must be cached first or something.

I believe that album.nfo (if available) and the ID3-Tag of all songs have to carry the same name. If for example, the folder name is "Layla (SE)" and the album-tag of the mp3s is just "Layla" it won't be found. Maybe you'll try that?

That's a different issue which I fixed yesterday (update will be provided later today).
As for the issue with the brackets...
Make sure that the album info in the ID3 tag of the song itself is the same as the album name in the nfo file.
Because there's no native support for scraping the music artwork to the Kodi db the artwork ia being looked up by it's path.
If the album name doesn't match the path, it will fail.
Thanks Marcel, for the update. Also very useful info on album names not being equal to folder names. Helps troubleshooting when things don't seem to work as expected.
