Album Art not displayed for songs stored on the phone.

Post by el_mundi »

I have MMA 2.0.0.1099 on a Galaxy S10 with Android 12
When I play songs stored on the phone, the artwork is not displayed, neither in "Art"-view, nor in "Queue"-view.
(I believe, some time ago, this was displayed)
When I play the same songs stored on PC via the Media Server, the artwork is displayed.
Does anybody have an idea what is wrong, or what I do wrong.

Did you Sync from MMW? If so, does a re-sync fix this?

Hi,
Are you using MM5 or MM4? Because there is many many sync fixes in MM5.x versions.

Hello, Lowlander and Peke,
I apologize for the late response.
Apparently I have not yet understood the concept of syncing.

I have avoided it until now. Now I have tried it, using MM5.0.4.2690.
Now I see some album covers, but those don't have anything to do with the album art stored in the MP3-files.
For example "A Horse With No Name" by "America" shows the cover of "Hits International" by "Chris Barber's Jazzbad", which I don't even have in my collection. I have verified, that the files still contain the correct image, and only this one.

I have to give up for now and postpone this issue. I'm heading for a vacation on the Isle Of Crete and then my wife has decided to buy a new kitchen, which is going to keep me busy until November.

When I play the song stored on the PC via MediaMonkey Server, I get the correct image.

When I play the song stored on the phone I get the wrong image and this is also shown, when I look at the properties.

Sorry, I have not managed, to upload the screenshots, which would probably show better, what I mean.

MMA itself has 1 Artwork per Album, so make sure that all files on the Album have the same correct Artwork. There have also been issues in the past, so a fresh start on MMA may fix things when using the latest betas of MMA and MMW.
