Missing album covers in library
#1
Hello,

I'm using XBMC Live, and have just added a few albums to my library.

I found that some albums are showing the cover image, and some are not.

All of them have the album covers in a Folder.jpg file. Is there a limit for album images?

Thanks!

No, there are no limitations. There'll no doubt be a good reason why those albums won't be showing a cover image. A Debug Log during the scan might show this up. Alternatively, try "Get Thumb" from the album information dialog.

Another source of this issue is that the song artist, song title or album title is wrong and the parser does not correctly identify the album/song/artist.

Well, the album covers are all in a folder.jpg file.

Ok, I'm getting a lot of these:

Anything I should investigate further?


Edit: I'm using a 2Gb pen drive, so it's probably out of space...

I guess space is not a problem:

i had exactly the same problem. some albums were not showing the album cover at all (xbmc didn't replace those with a standard icon), some were corrupted (partly grey).
i didn't update my library since a couple of months and im constantly using the svn version.
i simply deleted my library and scanned the source again resulting in a clean library showing nearly all covers. nevertheless there are some albums where i get the standard music album cover from xbmc instead of the cover embedded into the tracks. i already compared and extracted a couple of those covers but couldn't gather any revealing information about what could be wrong.

Provide the files that have these covers. We can't do anything unless we can reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the sample. It contains a non-conformant JPEG-JFIF image. I've altered the code to be a little less stringent so that this one passes through. There is room for a bit more movement, so let us know if you find more that don't sneak through.

hi jonathan,

thanks for your efforts. i just rebuilt xbmc but the cover doesn't show up. i tested it in file mode. normally xbmc extracts these correctly. i also rescanned the library with no positive results.

edit: works. had to rebuild my library.

Then you failed to build correctly is my only conclusion. Ensure that the imagelib is rebuilt. It works just fine on win32 and OSX here.
