Is there a way to show artwork for .iso files (like SACD here) and/or .bda files (Blu-ray audio only) without having to put them in a directory?
The .MKA and with the SACD plugin .ISO files "open" to show a list of track names (assuming .MKA has chapters) so as I'm putting all my surround audio files in one directory on my NVidia Shield I've got directories for DTS & FLAC files (those show art fine with folder.jpg or cover.jpg), but if I put .MKA or .ISO files in a directory, they end up behaving like they're two directories deep (once to click into the folder and then another click to open the .MKA or .ISO file) plus the art doesn't seem to show up with the album itself once it's opened (just the directory above it) either way and I'm not sure I understand KODI's artwork naming system well enough to come up with something that works under these conditions. I don't know if you can embed artwork in .BDA files anyway (certainly I cannot in .ISO ones). I don't need the albums added to the library, but it would be nice if it showed the artwork on the play list.
Certainly, if I put .BDA and .ISO files in the directories with the other FLAC/DTS album directories, they show up in a nice single list and the .BDA and .ISO files act like they're directories of DTS and FLAC files (one click to open album), but that doesn't solve the artwork issue. I've read there's a program to split .BDA files into .M4V files that can play Atmos music, etc., but I think someone mentioned they are not gapless (whereas .MKA or even the video version .MKV are).
I thought maybe albumname.jpg would get picked up (as in "cover.jpg" representing the name of that particular album cover), but it would appear no such luck.
