So,

I'm using media elch to get all the info and pictures and stuff. I'm pretty happy with most of it but certain things I want to make custom, especially the Disc Arts since I want the artwork on the versions/editions I actually own.

I've been struggling with Aeon MQ because it always reads the artwork versions off the internet.

Currently media elch places everything on the album's folder. My theory is that I need to put everything in one folder and identify them with a <baseFileName>, since they all have the same cdart.png name. But I'm clueless if this would work.

As of now I have album and artist on read local information. And the folder assinged for art is the Music root where all the artists and then albums are in.

Any thoughts?

discart.png is the correct naming, not cdart.png

Artwork needs to be in the album folder for albums and preferably in the Artist Information Folder for artist artwork. There is no option for a central folder for music artwork.

Hmm... let me see if I understand correctly; If discart.png is the correct convention, then Media Elch has the default setting wrong. I'm going to change it and see if there's any results. Thanks!

Sure. Let us know if that fixes it.

I wonder if @bugwelle is aware of the problem.

Thank you for pinging me. No, I was not aware of that problem.

The filename is set here:
https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/blob/...gs.cpp#L67

It's been the default in MediaElch since version 2.2.2 (changelog states: "Default filename for music disc art should be cdart.png").
I don't know why Komet set it that way, though. I've opened an issue to keep track of this: https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/781
Strangely enough, cdart.png was renamed for movies and concerts but not for albums in https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/239

@Karellen May I ask: Has this changed in Kodi v17 or v18?

@mrrust Thank you for reporting this. I'm the current maintainer of MediaElch. If you find further bugs or have any questions, feel free to ask

Hello @bugwelle

It changed for v18 when we tried to standardise artwork naming for all parts of the library, and that is what is shown in the wiki now.

There was a conversation held in the following thread and if you check the tables in posts #12 & #13, I updated most as decisions were made.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Totally forgot to mention that users can change "cdart.png" to "discart.png" in MediaElch:



You can change that in MediaElch's settings :-)

logo.jpg should be clearlogo.png

Thanks. Probably even more than that. I didn't have the time to fix that, yet.

I hadn't gone back to this in a while. I tried changing disc art files discart.png (made the change on my media elch). I have them placed in the album folder like the document states. I've made marks on those files to make sure they are not being read from the internet. The .nfo seems to be working too. The album cover does work, but not the disc. I have move all the setting around to make sure it's reading locally and not internet. Still no success... I'm on Aeon MQ.

Do you have any ideas? Maybe I have a setting wrong?

I've had trouble displaying discart.png on Aeon MQ as well.  I've continued to use cdart.png and have no troubles.

cdart.png

I put a cdart.png in the folder to test. It's not reading it. Do you think i'm missing a setting?

Which Aeon MQ Ver. are you using?  Do you have discart enabled in the Fullscreen Skin Visualizer Settings?

Aeon MQ 8. Correct Disc Art is on "Always Visible"
