You got various options from the above posts. I will tell you what I do now that I have been doing for a long time. This works for me, is very easy, and avoids the technical complication of setting up media servers. I have a main media library of lossless audio (primarily FLAC). This library is what...

Ticket #7107: "Folder.jpg File Not Properly Rendered In MMW5" has been successfully submitted

Album art gets stored in the database as a BLOB. It's not stored in the temp folder. The Covers table holds it, and this table was emptied by me a couple of days ago.

This one fails to render correctly. This is the only one I have found. This is an issue I have seen for several versions, but this is the first time reporting it. As I mentioned elsewhere in forums, I am now increasing album art size. The issue for this particular JPG is related to the size increase...

I am playing a FLAC album from 2018 to see the following album art: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/or22ewkedbse62sx70e86/MMW5_3018_JPGs_Look_Screwy.png?rlkey=uv7a5tr1rnbdnk1jbqqghq4pf&st=dnapew6e&dl=0 It is Folder.jpg that MMW5 is having issues with. I open this same file using Windows 11 Ph...

I just experienced one instance where album art was not loaded. This happens for FLAC files in my Singles folder under artists that release singles. The reason art did not load is due to there being no Folder.jpg file. The album art only exists within the tags, and MMW5 3018 did not load the art pos...

Okay -- this is a defect. I resolved this by first closing MMW5 and backing up the %APPDATA%\MediaMonkey5\MM5.DB database. Next I opened the database using DB Browser (SQLite). Finally, I executed the following query: DELETE FROM Covers After this completed, I then executed a File|Add/Rescan files t...

Here is another example of MMW5 3018 displaying art at 700x700. All album art in all files and embedded within the tag is much larger than this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vydik84ejhhqf40fwulnq/WhatIsGoingOnWithAlbumArtAnotherExample.png?rlkey=dicneaansihtyztl6x4pzurxq&st=1lo25ku2&dl=0 L...

Then why is this showing at full size?

I can make this even larger.

I just took a look at my Mac Book and launched Music. Unfortunately, my Music library is empty. However, I do see that Apple allows for library export to XML. It probably includes ratings in this export, but I cannot be sure having an empty library. XML export means that you would be able to generat...

Take a look at this screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iu2af7648p0h6jckqfuk7/WhatIsGoingOnWithAlbumArt.png?rlkey=e225rakiw8jxymfq70r7elxkc&st=n2hfmjfl&dl=0 That JPG image shown for album art exists as both a Folder.jpg with the same image embedded within the FLAC tag. The image size ...

Note that I also faced this same error recently with 3018, so this user is not alone. The issue is that it is a sporadic error. It does always happen though.

Unfortunately, it appears the trend lately is if it is not reproducible with direct steps, don't bother fixing it.

Okay.

There's a compatibility issue specific to MMW5 on Windows 11 Professional running new hardware with the latest of all drivers.

MMW4 does not face this issue ironically. It runs perfectly.

Looking at Windows Event Viewer, I see the following two entries: source: Application Error Faulting application name: MediaMonkeyEngine.exe, version: 2024.0.0.3018, time stamp: 0x662bdca5 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.22621.3447, time stamp: 0x67ef8931 Exception code: 0x0eedfa...

I have tried sending debug logs to be told that my logs are too big and the freeze happens due to debugging. I was specifically told to stop debugging :lol: The problem is for these sporadic crashes we may have to run the application for a very long time. Hours of run time will cause a freeze during...
